Ground-state phase diagram of a spin- 12 frustrated three-leg antiferromagnetic Heisenberg ladder

Xiaoqun Wang, Ningsheng Zhu, Changfeng Chen

Using the density matrix renormalization group method we have studied the ground-state phase diagram of a spin-1/2 frustrated three-leg antiferromagnetic Heisenberg ladder, and identified two phases corresponding to the spin-3/2 chain and the standard spin ladder. Varying the diagonal coupling ${J}_{\ifmmode\times\else\texttimes\fi{}}$ leads to a quantum phase transition from one ground state to the other, but does not alter the gapless nature of the excitation spectra. On the phase boundary, the degenerate ground states form a chiral spin liquid with a central charge $c=2.$ The critical value of ${J}_{\ifmmode\times\else\texttimes\fi{}}$ is insensitive to the number of legs in the ladder, suggesting that a quantum phase transition may occur at ${J}_{\ifmmode\times\else\texttimes\fi{}}=0.6$ for the isotropic spin-1/2 antiferromagnetic Heisenberg model on the square lattice.

Finite-Temperature Phase Diagram and Algebraic Paramagnetic Liquid in the Spin-1/2 Kagom\'e Heisenberg Antiferromagnet

Xi Chen, Shi-Ju Ran, Tao Liu +3 more

Quantum fluctuations from frustration can trigger quantum spin liquids (QSLs) at zero temperature. However, it is unclear how thermal fluctuations affect a QSL. We employ state-of-the-art tensor network-based methods to explore the spin-$1/2$ kagom\'e Heisenberg antiferromagnet (KHA). Its ground state is shown to be a gapless U(1) QSL. By studying the behaviors of specific heat and magnetic susceptibility, we propose a finite-temperature phase diagram for the spin-1/2 KHA in a magnetic field. It is unveiled that there exists an algebraic paramagnetic liquid (APL) that possesses both paramagnetic and algebraic behaviors inherited from the QSL. The APL is induced under the interplay between quantum fluctuations from geometrical frustration and thermal fluctuations. Our work suggests that even when the QSL at zero temperature is frozen into a solid state by a magnetic field, proper thermal fluctuations could melt the system into a liquid-like state. We speculate that an APL phase could generally emerge after proper thermal fluctuations intervene in a gapless QSL.

Tensor network study of the spin- 1 2 square-lattice J 1 − J 2 − J 3 model: Incommensurate spiral order, mixed valence-bond solids, and multicritical points

We use the finite projected entangled pair state (PEPS) method to investigate the global phase diagram of the spin-$\frac{1}{2}$ square-lattice ${J}_{1}\text{\ensuremath{-}}{J}_{2}\text{\ensuremath{-}}{J}_{3}$ antiferromagnetic (AFM) Heisenberg model. The ground-state phase diagram is established with a rich variety of phases: the N\'eel AFM, gapless quantum spin liquid, valence-bond solid (VBS), stripe AFM, and incommensurate spiral phases. The nature of the VBS region is revealed, which contains a plaquette VBS and a mixed columnar-plaquette VBS, with the emergence of short-range incommensurate spin correlation in some region. The long-range incommensurate magnetic phase is also explicitly characterized as a planar spiral with incommensurate spatial periodicities. Most interestingly, there exist several multicritical points connecting different phases. These findings elucidate the true nature of the long-standing square-lattice ${J}_{1}\text{\ensuremath{-}}{J}_{2}\text{\ensuremath{-}}{J}_{3}$ antiferromagnet at zero temperature. Our results also pave the way to accurately simulate complex two-dimensional quantum spin systems that may host nonuniform features by means of the finite PEPS.
