摘要:

利用精确对角化方法得到的全谱,计算了可果美晶格上具有空间各向异性交换的海森堡反铁磁体的磁化率和比热等热力学性质.这种方法被证明提供了一个很好的代表性以上的温度约$J_{\rm av}/5$的这些热力学性质,其中$J_{\rm av}$是平均的耦合常数。与Hiroi { \it {et al}} [J. Phys. Soc. Jpn. { \bf 70},3377(2001)]表明,尽管在该化合物中磁性位点的kagomé晶格的显著畸变,但通过具有几乎各向同性交换的模型来最好地描述Volborthite,并表明存在额外的相互作用。低温比热的比较提高了伏硼硫石在低能下的态密度可能比海森堡模型低得多的可能性。还研究了该模型在外加磁场下的磁化曲线。发现M=1/3平台存在于各向异性的情况下,并随着各向异性的增加而向低场延伸。对于足够的各向异性,这个平台将是可观察到的一个领域合理的实验。低于$\sim$ 70特斯拉的平台的缺失将进一步支持几乎各向同性的模型。

英文摘要:

Thermodynamic properties such as magnetic susceptibility and specific heat have been computed for the Heisenberg Antiferromagnet with spatially anisotropic exchange on the kagome lattice on clusters up to N=24 spins from the full spectra obtained by exact diagonalization. This approach is shown to provide a good represention of these thermodynamic properties above temperatures of about $J_{\rm av}/5$ where $J_{\rm av}$ is an average of the coupling constants. Comparison with experimental Volborthite data obtained by Hiroi {\it {et al}} [J. Phys. Soc. Jpn. {\bf 70},3377 (2001)] shows that Volborthite is best described by a model with nearly isotropic exchanges in spite of the significant distortion of the kagomé lattice of magnetic sites in this compound and suggests that additional interactions are present. Comparison of the specific heat at low temperature raise the possibility that the density of states at low energy in Volborthite might be much lower than in the Heisenberg model. Magnetization curves under an applied field of the model are also investigated. The M=1/3 plateau is found to subsist in the anisotropic case and extend to lower field with increased anisotropy. For sufficient anisotropy, this plateau would then be observable for a field reasonably accessible to experiment. The absence of a plateau well below $\sim$ 70 Teslas would further support a nearly isotropic model.
