Abstract

We study the spin-1/2 and spin-1 [Formula: see text] Heisenberg antiferromagnets (HAFs) on an infinite, anisotropic, two-dimensional triangular lattice, using the coupled cluster method. With respect to an underlying square-lattice geometry the model contains antiferromagnetic (J1 > 0) bonds between nearest neighbours and competing [Formula: see text] bonds between next-nearest-neighbours across only one of the diagonals of each square plaquette, the same diagonal in each square. In a topologically equivalent triangular-lattice geometry the model has two sorts of nearest-neighbour bonds, with [Formula: see text] bonds along parallel chains and with J1 bonds providing an interchain coupling. The model thus interpolates between an isotropic HAF on the square lattice at one extreme (κ = 0) and a set of decoupled chains at the other (κ → ∞), with the isotropic HAF on the triangular lattice in between at κ = 1. For the spin-1/2 [Formula: see text] model, we find a weakly first-order (or possibly second-order) quantum phase transition from a Néel-ordered state to a helical state at a first critical point at κc1 = 0.80 ± 0.01, and a second critical point at κc2 = 1.8 ± 0.4 where a first-order transition occurs between the helical state and a collinear stripe-ordered state. For the corresponding spin-1 model we find an analogous transition of the second-order type at κc1 = 0.62 ± 0.01 between states with Néel and helical ordering, but we find no evidence of a further transition in this case to a stripe-ordered phase.

We study the spin-1/2 and spin-1 J1-J2 Heisenberg antiferromagnets (HAFs) on an in–nite, anisotropic, two-dimensional triangular lattice, using the coupled cluster method. With respect to an underlying square–lattice geometry the model contains antiferromag- netic (J1 > 0) bonds between nearest neighbours and competing (J02 > 0) bonds between next-nearest-neighbours across only one of the diagonals of each square plaquette, the same diagonal in each square. In a topologically equivalent triangular-lattice geometry the model has two sorts of nearest-neighbour bonds, with bonds along parallel chains and with J1 bonds providing an interchain coupling. The model thus interpolates between an isotropic HAF on the square lattice at one extreme and a set of de- coupled chains at the other, with the isotropic HAF on the triangular lattice in between at k = 1. For the spin-1/2 J1-J2 2 model, we a weakly order (or possibly second-order) quantum phase transition from a eel-ordered state to a helical state at critical point at and a second critical point at where a transition occurs between the helical state and a collinear stripe- ordered state. For the corresponding spin-1 model we an analogous transition of the second-order type at between states with and helical ordering, but we no evidence of a further transition in thiSocase to a stripe-ordered phase.

The effect of anisotropy on the ground-state magnetic ordering of the spin-1 quantumJ1XXZ–J2XXZmodel on the square lattice

R. F. Bishop, P. H. Y. Li, R. Darradi +2 more

We study the zero-temperature phase diagram of the J 1 XXZ – J 2 XXZ Heisenberg model for spin-1 particles on an infinite square lattice interacting via nearest-neighbour ( ) and next-nearest-neighbour ( J 2 >0) bonds. The two bonds have the same XXZ -type anisotropy in spin space. The effects on the quasiclassical Néel-ordered and collinear stripe-ordered states of varying the anisotropy parameter Δ are investigated using the coupled cluster method carried out up to high orders. By contrast with the case for spin- particles studied previously, no intermediate disordered phase between the Néel and collinear stripe phases, for any value of the frustration J 2 / J 1 , for either the z -aligned (Δ>1) or xy -planar-aligned (0≤Δ<1) states, is predicted here. The quantum phase transition is determined as first order for all values of J 2 / J 1 and Δ. The position of the phase boundary J 2 c (Δ) is determined accurately. It is observed to deviate most from its classical position (for all values of Δ>0) at the Heisenberg isotropic point (Δ = 1), where J 2 c (1) = 0.55 ± 0.01. By contrast, at the XY isotropic point (Δ = 0), we find J 2 c (0) = 0.50 ± 0.01. In the Ising limit ( ), as expected.

Quantum phase transitions of a square-lattice Heisenberg antiferromagnet with two kinds of nearest-neighbor bonds: A high-order coupled-cluster treatment

Sven E. Krüger, Johannes Richter, Jörg Schulenburg +2 more

We study the zero-temperature phase diagram and the low-lying excitations of a square-lattice spin-half Heisenberg antiferromagnet with two types of regularly distributed nearest-neighbor exchange bonds $[J>0$ (antiferromagnetic) and $\ensuremath{-}\ensuremath{\infty}<{J}^{\ensuremath{'}}<\ensuremath{\infty}]$ using the coupled cluster method (CCM) for high orders of approximation (up to LSUB8). We use a N\'eel model state as well as a helical model state as a starting point for the CCM calculations. We find a second-order transition from a phase with N\'eel order to a finite-gap quantum disordered phase for sufficiently large antiferromagnetic exchange constants ${J}^{\ensuremath{'}}>0.$ For frustrating ferromagnetic couplings ${J}^{\ensuremath{'}}<0$ we find indications that quantum fluctuations favor a first-order phase transition from the N\'eel order to a quantum helical state, by contrast with the corresponding second-order transition in the corresponding classical model. The results are compared to those of exact diagonalizations of finite systems (up to 32 sites) and those of spin-wave and variational calculations. The CCM results agree well with the exact diagonalization data over the whole range of the parameters. The special case of ${J}^{\ensuremath{'}}=0,$ which is equivalent to the honeycomb lattice, is treated more closely.

The quantum J 1 –J 1 ′–J 2 spin-1 Heisenberg model: Influence of the interchain coupling on the ground-state magnetic ordering in 2D

R. F. Bishop, P. H. Y. Li, R. Darradi +1 more

We study the phase diagram of the isotropic J 1 – J 1 '– J 2 Heisenberg model for spin-1 particles on an anisotropic square lattice, using the coupled-cluster method. We find no evidence for an intermediate phase between the Néel and stripe states, as compared with all previous results for the corresponding spin-1/2 case. However, we find a quantum tricritical point at J 1 '/ J 1 ≈0.66±0.03, J 2 / J 1 ≈0.35±0.02, where a line of second-order phase transitions between the quasi-classical Néel and stripe-ordered phases (for J 1 '/ J 1 ≲0.66) meets a line of first-order phase transitions between the same two states (for J 1 '/ J 1 ≳0.66).

The spin-1/2 and spin-1 quantum J1-J1'-J2 Heisenberg models on the square lattice

RF Bishop, P. H. Y. Li, Darradi, R +1 more

We study the J1-J1'-J2 quantum spin model on the two-dimensional square lattice using the coupled cluster method. We compare and contrast the influence of the interchain coupling J1' on the zero-temperature phase diagrams for the two spin values s = 1/2 and s = 1. Our most important result for the s = 1/2 case is the predicted existence of a quantum triple point (QTP) at (J1' ≈ 0.60 ± 0.03, J2 ≈ 0.33 ± 0.02) when J1 = 1. Below the QTP (J1'/J1 ≤ 0.60) we predict a second-order phase transition between the quasi-classical Neel and stripe-ordered phases, whereas the corresponding classical model, which contains only these two phases for all spin values s, yields a first-order transition. Above the QTP (J1'/J1 ≥ 0.60) an intermediate disordered phase emerges, which has no classical counterpart. By contrast, the situation for s = 1 is qualitatively different. Instead of a QTP where three phases co-exist, we now predict a quantum tricritical point at (J1' ≈ 0.66 ± 0.03, J2 ≈ 0.35 ± 0.02) when J1 = 1, where a line of second-order phase transitions between the quasi classical Neel and stripe-ordered phases (for J1'/J1 ≤ 0.66) meets a line of first-order phase transitions between the same two states (for J1'/J1 ≥ 0.66). Surprisingly, we find no evidence at all for any intermediate disordered phase in the s = 1 case.

Spin-gap study of the $\text{spin-}\frac{1}{2}\ \text{J}_{1}\text{-J}_{2}$ model on the triangular lattice

R. F. Bishop, P. H. Y. Li

We use the coupled cluster method implemented at high orders of approximation to study the spin- 1 2 J 1 - J 2 model on the triangular lattice with Heisenberg interactions between nearest-neighbour and next-nearest-neighbour pairs of spins, with coupling strengths J 1 > 0 and J 2 ≡ κ J 1 > 0 , respectively. In the window 0 ≤ κ ≤ 1 we find that the 3-sublattice 120° Néel-ordered and 2-sublattice 180° stripe-ordered antiferromagnetic states form the stable ground-state phases in the regions κ < κ 1 c = 0.060 ( 10 ) and κ > κ 2 c = 0.165 ( 5 ) , respectively. The spin-triplet gap is found to vanish over essentially the entire region κ 1 c < κ < κ 2 c of the intermediate phase.
