Abstract

We study magnetic properties of the S=l/2 Ising-like XXZ model on the Shastry-Sutherland lattices considering the effect of long range interactions. By performing quantum Monte Carlo simulations, we find that magnetization plateau phases appear at one-half and one-third of the saturation magnetization. We also study the finite temperature transition to the magnetic plateau phases and discuss the universality class of the transition.

Magnetic properties of the spin- 12 XXZ model on the Shastry-Sutherland lattice: Effect of long-range interactions

Takahumi Suzuki, Yusuke Tomita, Naoki Kawashima

We study magnetic properties of the spin-$\frac{1}{2}$ Ising-like XXZ model on the Shastry-Sutherland lattices with long-range interactions, using the quantum Monte Carlo method. This model shows magnetization plateau phases at one-half and one-third of the saturation magnetization when additional couplings are considered. We investigate the finite temperature transition to one-half and one-third plateau phases. The obtained results suggest that the former case is of the first order and the latter case is of the second order. We also find that the system undergoes two successive transitions with the two-dimensional Ising model universality although there is a single phase transition in the Ising limit case. Finally, we estimate the coupling ratio to explain the magnetization process observed in ${\text{TmB}}_{4}$.

Magnetization plateau of the classical Ising model on the Shastry-Sutherland lattice: A tensor renormalization-group approach

Ming‐Che Chang, Min-Fong Yang

We study the magnetization for the classical antiferromagnetic Ising model on the Shastry-Sutherland lattice using the tensor renormalization-group approach. With this method, one can probe large spin systems with little finite-size effect. For a range of temperature and coupling constant, a single magnetization plateau at one third of the saturation value is found. We investigate the dependence of the plateau width on temperature and on the strength of magnetic frustration. Furthermore, the spin configuration of the plateau state at zero temperature is determined.

Magnetic properties of the quantum Shastry–Sutherland model with spin S = 1/2

Victor V. Slavin, A. A. Krivchikov

Magnetization dependence on the external magnetic field was studied in a system with the Shastry–Sutherland lattice using exact diagonalization method at zero temperature within the xxz-model with spin S = 1/2. It was found that contrary to the classical Heisenberg model, the magnetization plateaus corresponding to m* = m/msat = 1/4, 1/3, and 1/2 (here msat is the saturation magnetization) exist even in the case of isotropic exchange interactions. The effect of exchange interaction on the width of the plateaus was studied. It was shown that depending on the ratio of exchange constants, there exist three regions corresponding to different types of the behavior of the system: the regions of a Neel-like antiferromagnet, a “dimer” antiferromagnet, and an intermediate region where the unique properties of Shastry–Sutherland lattices are most pronounced. The boundaries of these regions were also determined.

Phases and magnetization process of an anisotropic Shastry-Sutherland model

Zi Yang Meng, Stefan Weßel

We examine ground-state properties of the spin-1/2 easy-axis Heisenberg model on the Shastry-Sutherland lattice with ferromagnetic transverse spin exchange using quantum Monte Carlo and degenerate perturbation theory. For vanishing transverse exchange, the model reduces to an antiferromagnetic Ising model that, besides N\'eel order, harbors regions of extensive ground-state degeneracy. In the quantum regime, we find a dimerized phase of triplet states separated from the N\'eel ordered phase by a superfluid. The quantum phase transitions between these phases are characterized. The magnetization process shows a magnetization plateau at 1/3 of the saturation value, which persists down to the Ising limit, and a further plateau at 1/2 only in the quantum regime. For both plateaus, we determine the crystalline patterns of the localized triplet excitations. No further plateaus or supersolid phases are found in this model.

Critical properties of generalized four-state clock model on square lattices

Takafumi J. Suzuki, Yusuke Tomita, Naoki Kawashima +1 more

We study the finite-temperature transition to the 1/2 magnetization plateau in a model of interacting S = 1/2 spins with longer range interactions and strong exchange anisotropy on the geometrically frustrated Shastry-Sutherland lattice. In previous studies, it was obtained from Monte Carlo calculations that the transition to the plateau state occurs via two successive transitions with the two-dimensional Ising universality class, when the quantum exchange interactions are finite, while a single phase transition takes place in the purely Ising limit[l]. To understand these behaviors, we introduce the generalized four-state chiral clock model and perform Monte Carlo calculations for this model. By comparing the phase diagrams of the two models, we find that the topology of the thermal phase diagram is the same each other - the criticality of the thermal phase transition in the original model can be well explained by that of the generalized four-state chiral clock model.

A comparative study of the magnetization process of two-dimensional antiferromagnets

A. Honecker

Plateaux in the magnetization curves of the square-, triangular- and hexagonal-lattice spin-1/2 XXZ antiferromagnet are investigated. One finds a zero-magnetization plateau (corresponding to a spin gap) on the square and hexagonal lattice with Ising-like anisotropies, and a plateau with one-third of the saturation magnetization on the triangular lattice which survives a small amount of easy-plane anisotropy. Here we start with transfer-matrix computations for the Ising limit and continue with series in the XXZ anisotropy for plateau boundaries using the ground states of the Ising limit. The main focus is then a numerical computation of the magnetization curves with anisotropies in the vicinity of the isotropic situation. Finally, we discuss the universality class associated with the asymptotic behaviour of the magnetization curve close to saturation, as observed numerically in two and higher dimensions.
