Quantum Phase Diagram of the Triangular-Lattice X X Z Model in a Magnetic Field

Daisuke Yamamoto, Giacomo Marmorini, Ippei Danshita

The triangular lattice of S=1/2 spins with XXZ anisotropy is a ubiquitous model for various frustrated systems in different contexts. We determine the quantum phase diagram of the model in the plane of the anisotropy parameter and the magnetic field by means of a large-size cluster mean-field method with a scaling scheme. We find that quantum fluctuations break up the nontrivial continuous degeneracy into two first-order phase transitions. In between the two transition boundaries, the degeneracy-lifting results in the emergence of a new coplanar phase not predicted in the classical counterpart of the model. We suggest that the quantum phase transition to the nonclassical coplanar state can be observed in triangular-lattice antiferromagnets with large easy-plane anisotropy or in the corresponding optical-lattice systems.

Phase diagram and string-density plateau state of the anisotropic triangular antiferromagnetic Ising model

Hiromi Otsuka, Yutaka Okabe, Kouichi Okunishi

We report a study on the ground states of the triangular antiferromagnetic Ising model with a spacial anisotropy in the magnetic field. By the use of the level-spectroscopy and the density-matrix renormalization-group methods, we precisely determine the field-induced Berezinskii–Kosterlitz–Thouless transition point and the Pokrovski–Talapov transition points with an anisotropic nature. Then we provide the global phase diagram of the present model.

Field-free quantum-spin-1/2 XXZ model in three-dimensions:phases, phase transitions, and phase diagrams by renormalization group theory

Ozan S. Sarıyer

The field-free quantum-spin-1/2 XXZ model is studied in three-dimensions using renormalization group theory. We obtain global phase diagrams and critical properties. We identify zero-temperature quantum phase transitions at isotropic points, as well as long-range order below critical temperatures at all anisotropies. We show that the excitation spectrum is gapless in XY-like, and gapped in Ising-like anisotropy regimes. Besides, internal energy density, specific heat, nearest-neighbor entanglement measures and spin-spin correlations are obtained globally at all temperatures. Our numerical results cover the global range of anisotropy parameter, for both ferromagnetic and antiferromagnetic cases.

Triangular J 1 − J 2 Heisenberg antiferromagnet in a magnetic field

Thomas Bader, Shi Feng, Sasank Budaraju +3 more

The behavior of the paradigmatic J 1 − J 2 triangular lattice Heisenberg antiferromagnet in a magnetic field remains unsettled despite decades of study. We map out the phase diagram using three complementary approaches, including self-consistent nonlinear spin-wave theory, density-matrix renormalization group, and variational Monte Carlo. This combined analysis resolves the competition among different field-induced magnetic orders and magnetization plateaus across the classically frustrated parameter range. In particular, there is a finite range in the parameter regime around J 2 / J 1 = 1 8 in which (i) upon the application of the external field, the gapless quantum spin liquid acquires a finite density of monopoles, and (ii) by further increasing the field, two plateaus are clearly obtained at m = 1 3 and m = 1 2 . We discuss the experimental importance of the consecutive magnetization plateau transitions as a signature of an underlying quantum spin-liquid phase.

Phase diagram of the anisotropic spin-2 XXZ model: Infinite-system density matrix renormalization group study

Jonas A. Kjäll, Michael P. Zaletel, Roger S. K. Mong +2 more

We study the ground-state phase diagram of the quantum spin-2 XXZ chain in the presence of on-site anisotropy using a matrix-product state based infinite-system density matrix renormalization group (iDMRG) algorithm. One of the interests in this system is in connecting the highly quantum-mechanical spin-1 phase diagram with the classical $S=\ensuremath{\infty}$ phase diagram. Several of the recent advances within DMRG make it possible to perform a detailed analysis of the whole phase diagram. We consider different types of on-site anisotropies, which allows us to establish the validity of the following statements: (1) the spin-2 model can be tuned into a phase, which is equivalent to the ``topologically nontrivial'' spin-1 Haldane phase, and (2) the spin-2 Haldane phase at the isotropic Heisenberg point is adiabatically connected to the ``trivial'' large-$D$ phase, with a continuous change of the Hamiltonian parameters. Furthermore, we study the spin-3 XXZ chain to help explain the development of the classical phase diagram. We present details on how to use the iDMRG method to map out the phase diagram and include an extensive discussion of the numerical methods.

Phase Diagram of the Easy-Axis Triangular-Lattice J 1 − J 2 Model

Cesar A. Gallegos, Shengtao Jiang, Steven R. White +1 more

The phase diagram of the S=1/2 easy-axis triangular-lattice J_{1}-J_{2} model is investigated using the density-matrix renormalization group and analytical insights. We find a significant spin-liquid region extending from the Heisenberg limit and residing between the Y phase-known as the magnetic analogue of the "supersolid"-and collinear stripe phase. The order parameters of the supersolid are analyzed and an understanding of its lack of a ferromagnetic moment is suggested.
