摘要:

最近的实验表明,Na $_4$ Ir $_3$ O $_8$,其中s=1/2铱局域矩形成角共享三角形的三维网络的材料,可能具有无隙自旋激发的量子自旋液体基态。结合精确对角化、费米平均场基态的对称性分析和Gutzwiller投影变分波函数的研究,我们提出了一种具有自旋费米面的量子自旋液体作为Na $_4$ Ir $_3$ O $_8$超kagome晶格上海森堡模型基态的有利候选.我们提出了这种自旋液体比热的重整化平均场论,并讨论了自旋费米面可能的低温不稳定性。

英文摘要:

Recent experiments indicate that Na$_4$Ir$_3$O$_8$, a material in which s=1/2 iridium local moments form a three dimensional network of corner-sharing triangles, may have a quantum spin liquid ground state with gapless spin excitations. Using a combination of exact diagonalization, symmetry analysis of fermionic mean field ground states and Gutzwiller projected variational wavefunction studies, we propose a quantum spin liquid with spinon Fermi surfaces as a favorable candidate for the ground state of the Heisenberg model on the hyper-kagome lattice of Na$_4$Ir$_3$O$_8$. We present a renormalized mean field theory of the specific heat of this spin liquid and also discuss possible low temperature instabilities of the spinon Fermi surfaces.
