Abstract
The frustrated t-J model is investigated by using the exact-diagonalization (ED) method on an 8-site cluster. The effect on next-nearest-neighbor (NNN) exchange interaction J′ (frustration) on the hole pairing and the thermodynamic properties of the system is considered. Two holes initially remain unbound at smaller value of J′/t, but tend to bind at larger value. The maximum possibility of pair formation has been observed to be at NNN sites. Entropy calculation shows that the system goes to more disordered state with J′. The specific heat curves show a single peak structure. A decrease in effective exchange energy is observed due to the frustration.
