三角晶格上S=1模型中具有费米面的成对手征自旋液体

Paired chiral spin liquid with a Fermi surface in S=1 model on the triangular lattice

摘要:

受Ba_3NiSb_2O_9最近实验的启发,我们研究了三角晶格上自旋S=1的海森堡模型可能的量子自旋液体基态.我们用变分蒙特卡罗方法计算了微观自旋液体波函数的能量,其中自旋由三种费米子自旋算符表示。这些能量与各种竞争的三个子晶格有序状态的能量进行了比较。我们的方法表明,具有双二次项和单离子各向异性的反铁磁海森堡模型不存在低温自旋液相。然而,对于具有足够强的环交换项的SU(3)不变量模型,我们发现了一个成对的手性量子自旋液体,其费米表面是由非受限的自旋子组成的,它对我们考虑的所有类型的有序模式都是稳定的。我们讨论了这种奇异的自旋液体状态的物理与最近的实验,并提出了新的方法来测试这种情况。

英文摘要:

Motivated by recent experiments on Ba3NiSb2O9, we investigate possible quantum spin liquid ground states for spin S=1 Heisenberg models on the triangular lattice. We use Variational Monte Carlo techniques to calculate the energies of microscopic spin liquid wave functions where spin is represented by three flavors of fermionic spinon operators. These energies are compared with the energies of various competing three-sublattice ordered states. Our approach shows that the antiferromagnetic Heisenberg model with biquadratic term and single-ion anisotropy does not have a low-temperature spin liquid phase. However, for an SU(3)-invariant model with sufficiently strong ring-exchange terms, we find a paired chiral quantum spin liquid with a Fermi surface of deconfined spinons that is stable against all types of ordering patterns we considered. We discuss the physics of this exotic spin liquid state in relation with the recent experiment and suggest new ways to test this scenario.
