Abstract

We present the zero-temperature phase diagram of a Heisenberg antiferromagnet on a frustrated triangular lattice with nearest-neighbor $({J}_{1})$ and next-nearest-neighbor $({J}_{2})$ interactions, in a magnetic field. We show that the classical model has an accidental degeneracy for all ${J}_{2}/{J}_{1}$ and all fields, but the degeneracy is lifted by quantum fluctuations. We show that at large spin $S$, for ${J}_{2}/{J}_{1}<1/8$, quantum fluctuations select the same sequence of three sublattice co-planar states in a field as for ${J}_{2}=0$, and for $1/8<{J}_{2}/{J}_{1}<1$, they select the canted stripe state for all nonzero fields. The transition between the two states is first order in all fields, with the hysteresis width set by quantum fluctuations. We study the model with arbitrary $S$, including $S=1/2$, near the saturation field by exploring the fact that near saturation the density of bosons is small for all $S$. We show that for $S>1$, the transition remains first order, with a finite hysteresis width, but for $S=1/2$ and, possibly, $S=1$, there appears a new intermediate phase without a quasiclassical long-range order.

Quasiclassical magnetic order and its loss in a spin- 1 2 Heisenberg antiferromagnet on a triangular lattice with competing bonds

P. H. Y. Li, R. F. Bishop, C. E. Campbell

We use the coupled cluster method (CCM) to study the zero-temperature ground-state (GS) properties of a spin-$\frac{1}{2}$ ${J}_{1}\ensuremath{-}{J}_{2}$ Heisenberg antiferromagnet on a triangular lattice with competing nearest-neighbor and next-nearest-neighbor exchange couplings ${J}_{1}>0$ and ${J}_{2}\ensuremath{\equiv}\ensuremath{\kappa}{J}_{1}>0$, respectively, in the window $0\ensuremath{\le}\ensuremath{\kappa}<1$. The classical version of the model has a single GS phase transition at ${\ensuremath{\kappa}}^{\mathrm{cl}}=\frac{1}{8}$ in this window from a phase with 3-sublattice antiferromagnetic (AFM) ${120}^{\ensuremath{\circ}}$ N\'eel order for $\ensuremath{\kappa}<{\ensuremath{\kappa}}^{\mathrm{cl}}$ to an infinitely degenerate family of 4-sublattice AFM N\'eel phases for $\ensuremath{\kappa}>{\ensuremath{\kappa}}^{\mathrm{cl}}$. This classical accidental degeneracy is lifted by quantum fluctuations, which favor a 2-sublattice AFM striped phase. For the quantum model we work directly in the thermodynamic limit of an infinite number of spins, with no consequent need for any finite-size scaling analysis of our results. We perform high-order CCM calculations within a well-controlled hierarchy of approximations, which we show how to extrapolate to the exact limit. In this way we find results for the case $\ensuremath{\kappa}=0$ of the spin-$\frac{1}{2}$ model for the GS energy per spin, $E/N=\ensuremath{-}0.5521(2){J}_{1}$, and the GS magnetic order parameter, $M=0.198(5)$ (in units where the classical value is ${M}^{\mathrm{cl}}=\frac{1}{2}$), which are among the best available. For the spin-$\frac{1}{2}$ ${J}_{1}\ensuremath{-}{J}_{2}$ model we find that the classical transition at $\ensuremath{\kappa}={\ensuremath{\kappa}}^{\mathrm{cl}}$ is split into two quantum phase transitions at ${\ensuremath{\kappa}}_{1}^{c}=0.060(10)$ and ${\ensuremath{\kappa}}_{2}^{c}=0.165(5)$. The two quasiclassical AFM states (viz., the ${120}^{\ensuremath{\circ}}$ N\'eel state and the striped state) are found to be the stable GS phases in the regime $\ensuremath{\kappa}<{\ensuremath{\kappa}}_{1}^{c}$ and $\ensuremath{\kappa}>{\ensuremath{\kappa}}_{2}^{c}$, respectively, while in the intermediate regimes ${\ensuremath{\kappa}}_{1}^{c}<\ensuremath{\kappa}<{\ensuremath{\kappa}}_{2}^{c}$ the stable GS phase has no evident long-range magnetic order.

Frustrated Antiferromagnets at High Fields: Bose-Einstein Condensation in Degenerate Spectra

George Jackeli, Mike E. Zhitomirsky

Quantum phase transition at the saturation field is studied for a class of frustrated quantum antiferromagnets. The considered models include (i) the ${J}_{1}\mathrm{\text{\ensuremath{-}}}{J}_{2}$ frustrated square-lattice antiferromagnet with ${J}_{2}=\frac{1}{2}{J}_{1}$ and (ii) the nearest-neighbor Heisenberg antiferromagnet on a face centered cubic lattice. In the fully saturated phase the magnon spectra for the two models have lines of degenerate minima. Transition into a partially magnetized state is treated via a mapping to a dilute gas of hard-core bosons and by complementary spin-wave calculations. Momentum dependence of the exact four-point boson vertex removes the degeneracy of the single-particle excitation spectra and selects the ordering wave vectors at $(\ensuremath{\pi},\ensuremath{\pi})$ and $(\ensuremath{\pi},0,0)$ for the two models. We predict a unique form for the magnetization curve $\ensuremath{\Delta}M=S\ensuremath{-}M\ensuremath{\simeq}{\ensuremath{\mu}}^{(d\ensuremath{-}1)/2}(\mathrm{log}\ensuremath{\mu}{)}^{(d\ensuremath{-}1)}$, where $\ensuremath{\mu}$ is a distance from the quantum critical point.

Phase diagram of the frustrated spatially-anisotropic S=1 antiferromagnet on a square lattice

Hong‐Chen Jiang, Frank Krüger, Joel E. Moore +3 more

We study the $S=1$ square lattice Heisenberg antiferromagnet with spatially anisotropic nearest-neighbor couplings ${J}_{1x}$ and ${J}_{1y}$ frustrated by a next-nearest-neighbor coupling ${J}_{2}$ numerically using the density-matrix renormalization-group (DMRG) method and analytically employing the Schwinger-Boson mean-field theory (SBMFT). Up to relatively strong values of the anisotropy, within both methods we find quantum fluctuations to stabilize the N\'eel-ordered state above the classically stable region. Whereas SBMFT suggests a fluctuation-induced first-order transition between the N\'eel state and a stripe antiferromagnet for $1/3\ensuremath{\le}{J}_{1x}/{J}_{1y}\ensuremath{\le}1$ and an intermediate paramagnetic region opening only for very strong anisotropy, the DMRG results clearly demonstrate that the two magnetically ordered phases are separated by a quantum-disordered region for all values of the anisotropy with the remarkable implication that the quantum paramagnetic phase of the spatially isotropic ${J}_{1}\text{\ensuremath{-}}{J}_{2}$ model is continuously connected to the limit of decoupled Haldane spin chains. Our findings indicate that for $S=1$ quantum fluctuations in strongly frustrated antiferromagnets are crucial and not correctly treated on the semiclassical level.

Quantum phase diagram of spin-1 J1−J2 Heisenberg model on the square lattice: An infinite projected entangled-pair state and density matrix renormalization group study

Reza Haghshenas, Wang-Wei Lan, Shou-Shu Gong +1 more

We study the spin-1 Heisenberg model on the square lattice with the antiferromagnetic nearest-neighbor ${J}_{1}$ and the next-nearest-neighbor ${J}_{2}$ couplings by using the infinite projected entangled-pair state (iPEPS) ansatz and the density matrix renormalization group (DMRG) calculation. The iPEPS simulation, which studies the model directly in the thermodynamic limit, finds a crossing of the ground state from the N\'eel magnetic state to the stripe magnetic state at ${J}_{2}/{J}_{1}\ensuremath{\simeq}0.549$, showing a direct phase transition. In the finite-size DMRG calculation on the cylinder geometry up to the cylinder width ${L}_{y}=10$, we find that around the same critical point the N\'eel and the stripe orders are strongly suppressed, which implies the absence of an intermediate phase. Both calculations identify that the stripe order comes with a first-order transition at ${J}_{2}/{J}_{1}\ensuremath{\simeq}0.549$. Our results indicate that unlike the spin-1/2 ${J}_{1}\text{\ensuremath{-}}{J}_{2}$ square model, quantum fluctuations in the spin-1 model may not be strong enough to stabilize an intermediate nonmagnetic phase.

Ground-state phases of the frustrated spin- 12 J1 – J2 – J3 Heisenberg ferromagnet ( J1<0 ) on the honeycomb lattice with J3=J2>0

P. H. Y. Li, R. F. Bishop, DAMIAN J. J. FARNELL +2 more

We study the ground-state (GS) properties of the frustrated spin-$\frac{1}{2}$ ${J}_{1}$--${J}_{2}$--${J}_{3}$ Heisenberg model on the two-dimensional honeycomb lattice with ferromagnetic nearest-neighbor (${J}_{1}=\ensuremath{-}1$) exchange and frustrating antiferromagnetic next-nearest-neighbor (${J}_{2}>0$) and next-next-nearest-neighbor (${J}_{3}>0$) exchanges, for the case ${J}_{3}={J}_{2}$. We use the coupled-cluster method implemented to high orders of approximation, complemented by the Lanczos exact diagonalization of a large finite lattice with 32 sites, in order to calculate the GS energy, magnetic order parameter, and spin-spin correlation functions. In one scenario we find a quantum phase transition point between regions characterized by ferromagnetic order and a form of antiferromagnetic (``striped'') collinear order at ${J}_{2}^{c}\ensuremath{\approx}0.1095\ifmmode\pm\else\textpm\fi{}0.0005$, which is below the corresponding hypothetical transition point at ${J}_{2}^{\mathrm{cl}}=\frac{1}{7}$ ($\ensuremath{\approx}0.143$) for the classical version of the model, in which we momentarily ignore the intervening noncollinear spiral phase in the region $\frac{1}{10}<{J}_{2}<\frac{1}{5}$. Hence we see that quantum fluctuations appear to stabilize somewhat the collinear antiferromagnetic order in preference to the ferromagnetic order in this model. We compare results for the present ferromagnetic case (with ${J}_{1}=\ensuremath{-}1$) to previous results for the corresponding antiferromagnetic case (with ${J}_{1}=+1$). The magnetic order parameter is found to behave similarly for the ferromagnetic and the antiferromagnetic models for large values of the frustration parameter ${J}_{2}$. However, there are considerable differences in the behavior of the order parameters for the two models for ${J}_{2}/|{J}_{1}|\ensuremath{\lesssim}0.6$. For example, the quasiclassical collinear magnetic long-range order for the antiferromagnetic model (with ${J}_{1}=+1$) breaks down at ${J}_{2}^{{c}_{2}}\ensuremath{\approx}0.60$, whereas the ``equivalent'' point for the ferromagnetic model (with ${J}_{1}=\ensuremath{-}1$) occurs at ${J}_{2}^{c}\ensuremath{\approx}0.11$. Unlike in the antiferromagnetic model (with ${J}_{1}=+1$), where a plaquette valence-bond crystal phase intrudes between the two corresponding quasiclassical antiferromagnetic phases (with N\'eel and striped order) for ${J}_{2}^{{c}_{1}}<{J}_{2}<{J}_{2}^{{c}_{2}}$, with ${J}_{2}^{{c}_{1}}\ensuremath{\approx}0.47$, we find no clear indications at all in the ferromagnetic model for an intermediate magnetically disordered phase between the corresponding phases exhibiting ferromagnetic and striped order. Instead the evidence for the ferromagnetic model (with ${J}_{1}=\ensuremath{-}1$) points to one of two scenarios: either there is a direct first-order transition between the two magnetically ordered phases, as mentioned above; or there exists an intervening phase between them in the very narrow range $0.10\ensuremath{\lesssim}{J}_{2}\ensuremath{\lesssim}0.12$, which is probably a remnant of the spiral phase that exists in the classical counterpart of the model over the larger range $\frac{1}{10}<{J}_{2}<\frac{1}{5}$.

Quantum phase diagram of the spin-1 J1−J2 Heisenberg model on the honeycomb lattice

Shou-Shu Gong, Wei Kang Zhu, D. N. Sheng

Strongly correlated systems with geometric frustrations can host the emergent phases of matter with unconventional properties. Here, we study the spin $S=1$ Heisenberg model on the honeycomb lattice with the antiferromagnetic first- (${J}_{1}$) and second-neighbor (${J}_{2}$) interactions ($0.0\ensuremath{\le}{J}_{2}/{J}_{1}\ensuremath{\le}0.5$) by means of density-matrix renormalization group. In the parameter regime ${J}_{2}/{J}_{1}\ensuremath{\lesssim}0.27$, the system sustains a N\'eel antiferromagnetic phase. At the large ${J}_{2}$ side ${J}_{2}/{J}_{1}\ensuremath{\gtrsim}0.32$, a stripe antiferromagnetic phase is found. Between the two magnetic ordered phases $0.27\ensuremath{\lesssim}{J}_{2}/{J}_{1}\ensuremath{\lesssim}0.32$, we find a nonmagnetic intermediate region with a plaquette valence-bond order. Although our calculations are limited within a six unit-cell width on cylinder, we present evidence that this plaquette state could be a strong candidate for this nonmagnetic region in the thermodynamic limit. We also briefly discuss the nature of the quantum phase transitions in the system. We gain further insight into the nonmagnetic phases in the spin-1 system by comparing its phase diagram with the spin-$1/2$ system.

We present the zero-temperature phase diagram of a Heisenberg antiferromagnet on a frustrated triangular lattice with nearest-neighbor (J1)({J}_{1})(J1​) and next-nearest-neighbor (J2)({J}_{2})(J2​) interactions, in a magnetic field. We show that the classical model has an accidental degeneracy for all J2/J1{J}_{2}/{J}_{1}J2​/J1​ and all fields, but the degeneracy is lifted by quantum fluctuations. We show that at large spin SSS, for J2/J1<1/8{J}_{2}/{J}_{1}<1/8J2​/J1​<1/8, quantum fluctuations select the same sequence of three sublattice co-planar states in a field as for J2=0{J}_{2}=0J2​=0, and for 1/8<J2/J1<11/8<{J}_{2}/{J}_{1}<11/8<J2​/J1​<1, they select the canted stripe state for all nonzero fields. The transition between the two states is first order in all fields, with the hysteresis width set by quantum fluctuations. We study the model with arbitrary SSS, including S=1/2S=1/2S=1/2, near the saturation field by exploring the fact that near saturation the density of bosons is small for all SSS. We show that for S>1S>1S>1, the transition remains first order, with a finite hysteresis width, but for S=1/2S=1/2S=1/2 and, possibly, S=1S=1S=1, there appears a new intermediate phase without a quasiclassical long-range order.
We use the coupled cluster method (CCM) to study the zero-temperature ground-state (GS) properties of a spin-12\frac{1}{2}21​ ${J}_{1}\ensuremath{-}{J}_{2}$ Heisenberg antiferromagnet on a triangular lattice with competing nearest-neighbor and next-nearest-neighbor exchange couplings J1>0{J}_{1}>0J1​>0 and ${J}_{2}\ensuremath{\equiv}\ensuremath{\kappa}{J}_{1}>0$, respectively, in the window $0\ensuremath{\le}\ensuremath{\kappa}<1$. The classical version of the model has a single GS phase transition at ${\ensuremath{\kappa}}^{\mathrm{cl}}=\frac{1}{8}$ in this window from a phase with 3-sublattice antiferromagnetic (AFM) ${120}^{\ensuremath{\circ}}$ N\'eel order for $\ensuremath{\kappa}<{\ensuremath{\kappa}}^{\mathrm{cl}}$ to an infinitely degenerate family of 4-sublattice AFM N\'eel phases for $\ensuremath{\kappa}>{\ensuremath{\kappa}}^{\mathrm{cl}}$. This classical accidental degeneracy is lifted by quantum fluctuations, which favor a 2-sublattice AFM striped phase. For the quantum model we work directly in the thermodynamic limit of an infinite number of spins, with no consequent need for any finite-size scaling analysis of our results. We perform high-order CCM calculations within a well-controlled hierarchy of approximations, which we show how to extrapolate to the exact limit. In this way we find results for the case $\ensuremath{\kappa}=0$ of the spin-12\frac{1}{2}21​ model for the GS energy per spin, $E/N=\ensuremath{-}0.5521(2){J}_{1}$, and the GS magnetic order parameter, M=0.198(5)M=0.198(5)M=0.198(5) (in units where the classical value is Mcl=12{M}^{\mathrm{cl}}=\frac{1}{2}Mcl=21​), which are among the best available. For the spin-12\frac{1}{2}21​ ${J}_{1}\ensuremath{-}{J}_{2}$ model we find that the classical transition at $\ensuremath{\kappa}={\ensuremath{\kappa}}^{\mathrm{cl}}$ is split into two quantum phase transitions at ${\ensuremath{\kappa}}_{1}^{c}=0.060(10)$ and ${\ensuremath{\kappa}}_{2}^{c}=0.165(5)$. The two quasiclassical AFM states (viz., the ${120}^{\ensuremath{\circ}}$ N\'eel state and the striped state) are found to be the stable GS phases in the regime $\ensuremath{\kappa}<{\ensuremath{\kappa}}_{1}^{c}$ and $\ensuremath{\kappa}>{\ensuremath{\kappa}}_{2}^{c}$, respectively, while in the intermediate regimes ${\ensuremath{\kappa}}_{1}^{c}<\ensuremath{\kappa}<{\ensuremath{\kappa}}_{2}^{c}$ the stable GS phase has no evident long-range magnetic order.
Quantum phase transition at the saturation field is studied for a class of frustrated quantum antiferromagnets. The considered models include (i) the ${J}_{1}\mathrm{\text{\ensuremath{-}}}{J}_{2}$ frustrated square-lattice antiferromagnet with J2=12J1{J}_{2}=\frac{1}{2}{J}_{1}J2​=21​J1​ and (ii) the nearest-neighbor Heisenberg antiferromagnet on a face centered cubic lattice. In the fully saturated phase the magnon spectra for the two models have lines of degenerate minima. Transition into a partially magnetized state is treated via a mapping to a dilute gas of hard-core bosons and by complementary spin-wave calculations. Momentum dependence of the exact four-point boson vertex removes the degeneracy of the single-particle excitation spectra and selects the ordering wave vectors at $(\ensuremath{\pi},\ensuremath{\pi})$ and $(\ensuremath{\pi},0,0)$ for the two models. We predict a unique form for the magnetization curve $\ensuremath{\Delta}M=S\ensuremath{-}M\ensuremath{\simeq}{\ensuremath{\mu}}^{(d\ensuremath{-}1)/2}(\mathrm{log}\ensuremath{\mu}{)}^{(d\ensuremath{-}1)}$, where $\ensuremath{\mu}$ is a distance from the quantum critical point.
We study the S=1S=1S=1 square lattice Heisenberg antiferromagnet with spatially anisotropic nearest-neighbor couplings J1x{J}_{1x}J1x​ and J1y{J}_{1y}J1y​ frustrated by a next-nearest-neighbor coupling J2{J}_{2}J2​ numerically using the density-matrix renormalization-group (DMRG) method and analytically employing the Schwinger-Boson mean-field theory (SBMFT). Up to relatively strong values of the anisotropy, within both methods we find quantum fluctuations to stabilize the N\'eel-ordered state above the classically stable region. Whereas SBMFT suggests a fluctuation-induced first-order transition between the N\'eel state and a stripe antiferromagnet for $1/3\ensuremath{\le}{J}_{1x}/{J}_{1y}\ensuremath{\le}1$ and an intermediate paramagnetic region opening only for very strong anisotropy, the DMRG results clearly demonstrate that the two magnetically ordered phases are separated by a quantum-disordered region for all values of the anisotropy with the remarkable implication that the quantum paramagnetic phase of the spatially isotropic ${J}_{1}\text{\ensuremath{-}}{J}_{2}$ model is continuously connected to the limit of decoupled Haldane spin chains. Our findings indicate that for S=1S=1S=1 quantum fluctuations in strongly frustrated antiferromagnets are crucial and not correctly treated on the semiclassical level.
We study the spin-1 Heisenberg model on the square lattice with the antiferromagnetic nearest-neighbor J1{J}_{1}J1​ and the next-nearest-neighbor J2{J}_{2}J2​ couplings by using the infinite projected entangled-pair state (iPEPS) ansatz and the density matrix renormalization group (DMRG) calculation. The iPEPS simulation, which studies the model directly in the thermodynamic limit, finds a crossing of the ground state from the N\'eel magnetic state to the stripe magnetic state at ${J}_{2}/{J}_{1}\ensuremath{\simeq}0.549$, showing a direct phase transition. In the finite-size DMRG calculation on the cylinder geometry up to the cylinder width Ly=10{L}_{y}=10Ly​=10, we find that around the same critical point the N\'eel and the stripe orders are strongly suppressed, which implies the absence of an intermediate phase. Both calculations identify that the stripe order comes with a first-order transition at ${J}_{2}/{J}_{1}\ensuremath{\simeq}0.549$. Our results indicate that unlike the spin-1/2 ${J}_{1}\text{\ensuremath{-}}{J}_{2}$ square model, quantum fluctuations in the spin-1 model may not be strong enough to stabilize an intermediate nonmagnetic phase.
We study the ground-state (GS) properties of the frustrated spin-12\frac{1}{2}21​ J1{J}_{1}J1​--J2{J}_{2}J2​--J3{J}_{3}J3​ Heisenberg model on the two-dimensional honeycomb lattice with ferromagnetic nearest-neighbor (${J}_{1}=\ensuremath{-}1$) exchange and frustrating antiferromagnetic next-nearest-neighbor (J2>0{J}_{2}>0J2​>0) and next-next-nearest-neighbor (J3>0{J}_{3}>0J3​>0) exchanges, for the case J3=J2{J}_{3}={J}_{2}J3​=J2​. We use the coupled-cluster method implemented to high orders of approximation, complemented by the Lanczos exact diagonalization of a large finite lattice with 32 sites, in order to calculate the GS energy, magnetic order parameter, and spin-spin correlation functions. In one scenario we find a quantum phase transition point between regions characterized by ferromagnetic order and a form of antiferromagnetic (``striped'') collinear order at ${J}_{2}^{c}\ensuremath{\approx}0.1095\ifmmode\pm\else\textpm\fi{}0.0005$, which is below the corresponding hypothetical transition point at J2cl=17{J}_{2}^{\mathrm{cl}}=\frac{1}{7}J2cl​=71​ ($\ensuremath{\approx}0.143$) for the classical version of the model, in which we momentarily ignore the intervening noncollinear spiral phase in the region 110<J2<15\frac{1}{10}<{J}_{2}<\frac{1}{5}101​<J2​<51​. Hence we see that quantum fluctuations appear to stabilize somewhat the collinear antiferromagnetic order in preference to the ferromagnetic order in this model. We compare results for the present ferromagnetic case (with ${J}_{1}=\ensuremath{-}1$) to previous results for the corresponding antiferromagnetic case (with J1=+1{J}_{1}=+1J1​=+1). The magnetic order parameter is found to behave similarly for the ferromagnetic and the antiferromagnetic models for large values of the frustration parameter J2{J}_{2}J2​. However, there are considerable differences in the behavior of the order parameters for the two models for ${J}_{2}/|{J}_{1}|\ensuremath{\lesssim}0.6$. For example, the quasiclassical collinear magnetic long-range order for the antiferromagnetic model (with J1=+1{J}_{1}=+1J1​=+1) breaks down at ${J}_{2}^{{c}_{2}}\ensuremath{\approx}0.60$, whereas the ``equivalent'' point for the ferromagnetic model (with ${J}_{1}=\ensuremath{-}1$) occurs at ${J}_{2}^{c}\ensuremath{\approx}0.11$. Unlike in the antiferromagnetic model (with J1=+1{J}_{1}=+1J1​=+1), where a plaquette valence-bond crystal phase intrudes between the two corresponding quasiclassical antiferromagnetic phases (with N\'eel and striped order) for J2c1<J2<J2c2{J}_{2}^{{c}_{1}}<{J}_{2}<{J}_{2}^{{c}_{2}}J2c1​​<J2​<J2c2​​, with ${J}_{2}^{{c}_{1}}\ensuremath{\approx}0.47$, we find no clear indications at all in the ferromagnetic model for an intermediate magnetically disordered phase between the corresponding phases exhibiting ferromagnetic and striped order. Instead the evidence for the ferromagnetic model (with ${J}_{1}=\ensuremath{-}1$) points to one of two scenarios: either there is a direct first-order transition between the two magnetically ordered phases, as mentioned above; or there exists an intervening phase between them in the very narrow range $0.10\ensuremath{\lesssim}{J}_{2}\ensuremath{\lesssim}0.12$, which is probably a remnant of the spiral phase that exists in the classical counterpart of the model over the larger range 110<J2<15\frac{1}{10}<{J}_{2}<\frac{1}{5}101​<J2​<51​.
Strongly correlated systems with geometric frustrations can host the emergent phases of matter with unconventional properties. Here, we study the spin S=1S=1S=1 Heisenberg model on the honeycomb lattice with the antiferromagnetic first- (J1{J}_{1}J1​) and second-neighbor (J2{J}_{2}J2​) interactions ($0.0\ensuremath{\le}{J}_{2}/{J}_{1}\ensuremath{\le}0.5$) by means of density-matrix renormalization group. In the parameter regime ${J}_{2}/{J}_{1}\ensuremath{\lesssim}0.27$, the system sustains a N\'eel antiferromagnetic phase. At the large J2{J}_{2}J2​ side ${J}_{2}/{J}_{1}\ensuremath{\gtrsim}0.32$, a stripe antiferromagnetic phase is found. Between the two magnetic ordered phases $0.27\ensuremath{\lesssim}{J}_{2}/{J}_{1}\ensuremath{\lesssim}0.32$, we find a nonmagnetic intermediate region with a plaquette valence-bond order. Although our calculations are limited within a six unit-cell width on cylinder, we present evidence that this plaquette state could be a strong candidate for this nonmagnetic region in the thermodynamic limit. We also briefly discuss the nature of the quantum phase transitions in the system. We gain further insight into the nonmagnetic phases in the spin-1 system by comparing its phase diagram with the spin-1/21/21/2 system.
