摘要:

本文导出并研究了蜂窝晶格上自旋二分之一的哈密顿量,它描述了层状铱酸盐$A_2$ IrO $_3$($A$ =Li,Na)中Ir $^{4+}$离子之间的交换作用.根据微观参数,哈密尔顿插值之间的海森堡和精确可解的Kitaev模型。精确的对角化和互补的自旋波分析揭示了Kitaev极限附近的扩展自旋液相和海森堡极限附近的传统Néel状态的存在。两相被一个不寻常的条纹状反铁磁态所分隔,这正是模型在两个极限中点处的基态。

英文摘要:

We derive and study a spin one-half Hamiltonian on a honeycomb lattice describing the exchange interactions between Ir$^{4+}$ ions in a family of layered iridates $A_2$IrO$_3$ ($A$=Li,Na). Depending on the microscopic parameters, the Hamiltonian interpolates between the Heisenberg and exactly solvable Kitaev models. Exact diagonalization and a complementary spin-wave analysis reveal the presence of an extended spin-liquid phase near the Kitaev limit and a conventional Néel state close to the Heisenberg limit. The two phases are separated by an unusual stripy antiferromagnetic state, which is the exact ground state of the model at the midpoint between two limits.
