Abstract

We study spin-1/2 Heisenberg antiferromagnets on a diamond-like-decorated square lattice. The diamond-like-decorated square lattice is a lattice in which the bonds in a square lattice are replaced with diamond units. The diamond unit has two types of antiferromagnetic exchange interactions, and the ratio λ of the diagonal bond strength to that of the other four edges controls the frustration strength. For 0.974 < λ < 2, the present system has a nontrivial macroscopic degeneracy, which is called the macroscopically degenerated tetramer-dimer (MDTD) states. The MDTD states are identical to the Hilbert space of the Rokhsar–Kivelson (RK) quantum dimer model (QDM). By introducing further neighbor couplings in the MDTD states, we calculate the second-order effective Hamiltonian, which is exactly the same as the square-lattice QDM with a finite hopping amplitude t and dimer-dimer interaction v. Furthermore, we calculate v/|t| as a function of the ratio λ in the Heisenberg model and examine which phases of the square-lattice QDM appear in our obtained states. Our obtained QDM has a region where λ exhibits a finite hopping amplitude (|t| > 0) and repulsive interaction between dimers (v > 0). This suggests the possibility of realizing the resonating valence bond (RVB) state because the RVB state is obtained at v = |t|, which is known as the RK point.

Quantum dimer model containing Rokhsar-Kivelson point expressed by spin- 1 2 Heisenberg antiferromagnets

Yuhei Hirose, Akihide Oguchi, Yoshiyuki Fukumoto

We obtain a quantum dimer model (QDM) containing a Rokhsar-Kivelson (RK) point expressed by spin-$\frac{1}{2}$ Heisenberg antiferromagnets on a diamond-like decorated square lattice. This lattice has macroscopically degenerated nonmagnetic ground states, which are equivalent to the Hilbert space of a square-lattice QDM. Then, a square-lattice QDM containing the RK point as a second-order effective Hamiltonian is obtained by introducing further neighbor couplings as perturbation. Our model can provide a new method for the experimental realization of a resonating valence bond state in the QDM.

Ground-state properties of spin-1/2 Heisenberg antiferromagnets with frustration on the diamond-like-decorated square and triangular lattices

Yuhei Hirose, Shoma Miura, Chitoshi Yasuda +1 more

We study the ground-state phase diagrams and properties of spin-1/2 Heisenberg models on the diamond-like-decorated square and triangular lattices. The diamond-like-decorated square (triangular) lattice is a lattice in which the bonds of a square (triangular) lattice are replaced with diamond units. The diamond unit has two types of antiferromagnetic exchange interactions, and the ratio λ of the strength of the diagonal bond to that of the other four edges determines the ground-state properties. In particular, the macroscopically degenerated tetramer-dimer states, which are equivalent to the dimer covering states of the original lattices, are stabilized for λc < λ < 2, where the value of λc depends on the lattices. To determine the phase diagrams and boundaries λc, we employ the modified spin wave (MSW) method and the quantum Monte Carlo (QMC) method to estimate the ground-state energies of the ferrimagnetic states for λ < λc, where we can consider the mixed spin-1 and spin-1/2 Lieb-lattice and triangular Lieb-lattice Heisenberg antiferromagnets instead, and obtain λc(square)=0.974 and λc(triangular)=0.988. We also calculate the long-range order (LRO) parameters using the MSW and QMC methods and find the scaling relations where the spin reductions of each sublattice are inversely proportional to the number of sublattice sites. We prove these scaling relations by applying an infinitesimal uniform magnetic field. Furthermore, by examining the calculation process in the MSW, we clarify the mathematical structure behind the scaling relations for the sublattice LROs.

Emergence of a Dimer–Dimer Interaction in the Low-Energy Effective Quantum-Dimer Model of a Diamond-Like-Decorated Square-Lattice Heisenberg Antiferromagnets with Further Neighbor Couplings

Yuhei Hirose, Akihide Oguchi, Yoshiyuki Fukumoto

We study spin-1/2 Heisenberg antiferromagnets on a diamond-like-decorated square lattice perturbed by two kinds of further neighbor couplings. In our previous study [J. Phys. Soc. Jpn. 85, 094002 (2016)], the second-order effective Hamiltonian for the Heisenberg model perturbed by a further neighbor coupling was found to be a square-lattice quantum-dimer model with a finite hopping amplitude, t>0, and no dimer-dimer interaction, v=0. In this study, we introduce another kind of further neighbor coupling and show that it leads to an attractive interaction between dimers, which suggests the stabilization of the columnar phase of the square-lattice quantum-dimer model. The calculated v/t is presented as a function of the ratio of the two exchange parameters in the Heisenberg model.

Exact Realization of a Quantum-Dimer Model in Heisenberg Antiferromagnets on a Diamond-Like Decorated Lattice

Yuhei Hirose, Akihide Oguchi, Yoshiyuki Fukumoto

We study Heisenberg antiferromagnets on a diamond-like decorated square lattice perturbed by further neighbor couplings. The second-order effective Hamiltonian is calculated and the resultant Hamiltonian is found to be a square-lattice quantum-dimer model with a finite hopping amplitude and no repulsion, which suggests the stabilization of the plaquette phase. Our recipe for constructing quantum-dimer models can be adopted for other lattices and provides a route for the experimental realization of quantum-dimer models.

Thermodynamic properties of the macroscopically degenerate tetramer-dimer phase of the spin- 1 2 Heisenberg model on the diamond-decorated square lattice

Katarína Karľová, A. Honecker, Nils Caci +3 more

The spin-1/2 Heisenberg antiferromagnet on the diamond-decorated square lattice in the presence of a magnetic field displays various quantum phases including the Lieb-Mattis ferrimagnetic, dimer-tetramer, monomer-dimer, and spin-canted phases, in addition to the trivial fully saturated state. Thermodynamic properties of this model are investigated using several complementary analytical and numerical methods such as exact diagonalization up to the systems of 40 spins, an effective monomer-dimer description, sign-problem-free quantum Monte Carlo simulations for up to 180 spins, and a decoupling approximation. Our particular attention is focused on the parameter region favoring the dimer-tetramer phase. This ground state can be represented by a classical hard-dimer model on the square lattice and retains a macroscopic degeneracy even under a magnetic field. However, the description of the low-temperature thermodynamics close to the boundary between the macroscopically degenerate dimer-tetramer and the nondegenerate monomer-dimer phases requires an extended classical monomer-dimer lattice-gas model. Anomalous thermodynamic properties emerging in the vicinity of the dimer-tetramer phase are studied in detail. Under the adiabatic demagnetization we detect an enhanced magnetocaloric effect promoting an efficient cooling to absolute zero temperature.
