三角晶格各向异性二聚海森堡反铁磁体:量子顺磁相的稳定性和激发

Triangular-lattice anisotropic dimerized Heisenberg antiferromagnet: Stability and excitations of the quantum paramagnetic phase

R. L. Doretto, Matthias Vojta

摘要:

受非磁性三角晶格莫特绝缘体实验的启发,我们研究了一个候选顺磁相,柱状二聚体(或价键)相。我们应用键算子理论的变体,二聚和空间各向异性自旋1/2海森堡模型,并确定其零温度相图和基本三重激发(三重子)的光谱。根据模型参数,我们发现,最低的三体子能量位于一个公度或非公度波矢。在这个三重态-无公度跃迁处的三重态凝聚定义了一个量子Lifshitz点,有效的降维可能导致在三重态带隙的闭合附近出现非平凡的顺磁(例如自旋液体)态。我们还讨论了高能三重子的两粒子衰变,我们评论的相关性,我们的结果为有机莫特绝缘体EtMe 3 P [Pd(dmit)2]2。

英文摘要:

Motivated by experiments on non-magnetic triangular-lattice Mott insulators, we study one candidate paramagnetic phase, the columnar dimer (or valence-bond) phase. We apply variants of the bond-operator theory to a dimerized and spatially anisotropic spin-1/2 Heisenberg model and determine its zero-temperature phase diagram and the spectrum of elementary triplet excitations (triplons). Depending on model parameters, we find that the minimum of the triplon energy is located at either a commensurate or an incommensurate wavevector. Condensation of triplons at this commensurate-incommensurate transition defines a quantum Lifshitz point, with effective dimensional reduction which possibly leads to non-trivial paramagnetic (e.g. spin-liquid) states near the closing of the triplet gap. We also discuss the two-particle decay of high-energy triplons, and we comment on the relevance of our results for the organic Mott insulator EtMe3P[Pd(dmit)2]2.
