The ground state and zero-temperature magnetization process of the spin-1/2 Ising-Heisenberg model on two-dimensional triangles-in-triangles lattices is exactly calculated using eigenstates of the smallest commuting spin clusters. Our ground-state analysis of the investigated classical--quantum spin model reveals three unconventional dimerized or trimerized quantum ground states besides two classical ground states. It is demonstrated that the spin frustration is responsible for a variety of magnetization scenarios with up to three or four intermediate magnetization plateaus of either quantum or classical nature. The exact analytical results for the Ising-Heisenberg model are confronted with the corresponding results for the purely quantum Heisenberg model, which were obtained by numerical exact diagonalizations based on the Lanczos algorithm for finite-size spin clusters of 24 and 21 sites, respectively. It is shown that the zero-temperature magnetization process of both models is quite reminiscent and hence, one may obtain some insight into the ground states of the quantum Heisenberg model from the rigorous results for the Ising-Heisenberg model even though exact ground states for the Ising-Heisenberg model do not represent true ground states for the pure quantum Heisenberg model.
A bipartite entanglement between two nearest-neighbor Heisenberg spins of a spin-1/2 Ising-Heisenberg model on a triangulated Husimi lattice is quantified using a concurrence. It is shown that the concurrence equals zero in a classical ferromagnetic and a quantum disordered phase, while it becomes sizable though unsaturated in a quantum ferromagnetic phase. A thermally-assisted reentrance of the concurrence is found above a classical ferromagnetic phase, whereas a quantum ferromagnetic phase displays a striking cusp of the concurrence at a critical temperature.

Spin-1/2 orthogonal-dimer chain composed of regularly alternating Ising and Heisenberg dimers is exactly solved in a presence of the magnetic field by the transfer-matrix method. It is shown that the ground-state phase diagram involves in total six different phases. Besides the ferromagnetic phase with fully polarized spins one encounters the singlet antiferromagnetic and modulated antiferromagnetic phases manifested in zero-temperature magnetization curves as zero magnetization plateau, the frustrated ferrimagnetic and singlet ferrimagnetic phases causing existence of an intermediate one-half…
Ground-state phase diagrams and magnetization curves of a spin-1 Heisenberg diamond cluster with two different coupling constants and uniaxial single-ion anisotropy are investigated in a presence of the external magnetic field with the help of exact diagonalization methods. It is shown that the spin-1 Heisenberg diamond cluster exhibits several remarkable quantum ground states, which are manifested in zero- and low-temperature magnetization curves as intermediate plateaus at one-quarter, one-half and three-quarters of the saturation magnetization. It is found that the width of the fractional m…
Magnetic and magnetocaloric properties of a spin-1 Heisenberg diamond cluster with two different coupling constants are investigated with the help of an exact diagonalization based on the Kambe's method, which employs a local conservation of composite spins formed by spin-1 entities located in opposite corners of a diamond spin cluster. It is shown that the spin-1 Heisenberg diamond cluster exhibits several intriguing quantum ground states, which are manifested in low-temperature magnetization curves as intermediate plateaus at 1/4, 1/2 and 3/4 of the saturation magnetization. Besides, the spi…

The spin-1/2 Ising-Heisenberg branched chain composed of regularly alternating Ising spins and Heisenberg dimers involving an additional side branching is rigorously solved in a magnetic field by the transfer-matrix approach. The ground-state phase diagram, the magnetization process and the concurrence measuring a degree of bipartite entanglement within the Heisenberg dimers are examined in detail. Three different ground states were found depending on a mutual interplay between the magnetic field and two different coupling constants: the modulated quantum antiferromagnetic phase, the quantum f…
We establish a solvable Heisenberg-Ising model on a spin-1 Ni-containing polymer chain, $[Ni (NN'-dmen) (μ-N_3)_2]$, with $NN'-dmen$ being $NN'-dimethylethylenediamine$, that fully covers the interaction characteristics of the material and by which, we can characterize all the peculiar magnetic features of the polymer, which has been partly studied in experiment. By purely analytical calculations, we can see that the magnetization exhibits three plateaus at zero, mid, and 3/4 of the saturation value at low temperatures below 2 K. The corresponding featuring peaks of magnetic susceptibility are…

The ground state and magnetization process of an exactly solved spin-$1/2$ Ising-Heisenberg orthogonal-dimer chain with two different gyromagnetic factors of the Ising and Heisenberg spins are investigated in detail. It is shown that the investigated quantum spin chain exhibits up to seven possible ground states depending on a mutual interplay of the magnetic field, intra- and inter-dimer coupling constants. More specifically, the frustrated and modulated quantum antiferromagnetic phases are responsible in zero-temperature magnetization curves for a zero magnetization plateau. The intermediate…
The ground state, magnetization scenario and the local bipartite quantum entanglement of a mixed spin-$1/2$ Ising--Heisenberg model in a magnetic field on planar lattices formed by identical corner-sharing bipyramidal plaquettes is examined by combining the exact analytical concept of generalized decoration-iteration mapping transformations with Monte Carlo simulations utilizing the Metropolis algorithm. The ground-state phase diagram of the model involves six different phases, namely, the standard ferrimagnetic phase, fully saturated phase, two unique quantum ferrimagnetic phases, and two mac…
The magnetization process of the spin-1/2 antiferromagnetic Heisenberg model on two-dimensional square-kagome lattice is studied theoretically. The metamagnetic jumps exist in the magnetization process at the higher edge of the 1/3 and 2/3 plateaus. The parameter-dependencies of the critical field and the magnitude of the magnetization jump at the higher edge of the 1/3 plateau are obtained by using the approximated state in the unit cell and compared with the nu- merical results of the exact diagonalization of 42 sites.
In the present paper, we consider two species of small spin clusters known as; two spin-1/2 Heisenberg edge-shared tetrahedra and spin-1/2 Heisenberg octahedron with the corresponding Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya terms in a longitudinal magnetic field, then we examine magnetization process and electric polarization of the models as functions of magnetic and electric fields at Low temperature using exact numerical diagonalization. Our exact results are in a good agreement with recent analysis carried out by J. Strečka and K. Kar{\v l}ova \cite{str18b,str17a}. It is demonstrated that the polarization b…

Low-temperature magnetization curves and thermodynamics of a frustrated spin-1/2 Heisenberg triangular bilayer with the antiferromagnetic intradimer interaction and either ferromagnetic or antiferromagnetic interdimer interaction are investigated in a highly frustrated parameter region, where localized many-magnon eigenstates provide the most dominant contribution to magnetothermodynamics. Low-energy states of the highly frustrated spin-1/2 Heisenberg triangular bilayer can be accordingly found from a mapping correspondence with an effective triangular-lattice spin-1/2 Ising model in a field. …

The mixed spin-(1,1/2) Ising-Heisenberg double sawtooth ladder containing mixture of both spin-1 and spin-1/2 nodal atoms, and the spin-1/2 interstitial dimers is approximately solved by the transfer-matrix method. Here, we study in detail the ground-state phase diagrams, also influences of the bilinear exchange coupling on the rungs and cyclic four-spin exchange interaction in square plaquette of each block on the magnetization and magnetic susceptibility of the suggested ladder at low temperature. Such a double sawtooth ladder may be found in a Shastry-Sutherland Lattice-type. In spite of od…
We report a detailed theoretical investigation into the influence of anisotropy on the magnetic and thermodynamic properties of an octanuclear nickel phosphonate cage with butterfly-shaped molecular geometry, namely $\mathrm{Ni}_8(μ_3-\mathrm{OH})_4(\mathrm{OMe})_2(\mathrm{O}_3\mathrm{PR}_1)_2 (\mathrm{O}_2\mathrm{C}^t\mathrm{Bu})_6 (\mathrm{HO}_2\mathrm{C}^t\mathrm{Bu})_8$. To validate our exact diagonalization approach, we firstly compare results with simulations and experiment in the isotropic case. Having established concurrence, we then introduce uniaxial single-ion anisotropy and Heisenb…
Bulk properties of quantum phases should be independent of a specific choice of boundary conditions as long as the boundary respects the symmetries. Based on this physically reasonable requirement, we discuss the Lieb-Schultz-Mattis-type ingappability in two-dimensional quantum magnets under a boundary condition that makes evident a quantum anomaly underlying the lattice system. In particular, we direct our attention to those on the checkerboard lattice which are closely related to frustrated quantum magnets on the square lattice and on the Shastry-Sutherland lattice. Our discussion is focused…
