代数自旋液体中的自旋-声子相互作用

Spinon-Phonon Interaction in Algebraic Spin Liquids

Maksym Serbyn, Patrick A. Lee

摘要:

出于寻找实验探针的动机,以访问自旋液体中的分数激发称为自旋子的物理,我们研究自旋子与晶格振动的相互作用。我们考虑的情况下,代数自旋液体,自旋子有费米子统计和Dirac-like色散。我们建立了基于对称性考虑的自旋-声子相互作用的一般推导过程。该程序示出了四种不同的代数自旋液体:π通量和交错通量相的正方形晶格上,π通量相的戈薇晶格上,和零通量相的蜂窝晶格。虽然所有这些相的低能描述是相似的,不同的基本对称群导致不同形式的自旋-声子相互作用哈密顿量。利用自旋-声子相互作用的显式形式计算了超声波在代数自旋液体中的衰减。讨论了声衰减作为自旋子探针的前景。

英文摘要:

Motivated by a search for experimental probes to access the physics of fractionalized excitations called spinons in a spin liquids, we study the interaction of spinons with lattice vibrations. We consider the case of algebraic spin liquid, when spinons have fermionic statistics and a Dirac-like dispersion. We establish the general procedure for deriving spinon-phonon interactions which is based on a symmetry considerations. The procedure is illustrated for four different algebraic spin liquids: pi-flux and staggered-flux phases on a square lattice, pi-flux phase on a kagome lattice, and zero flux phase on a honeycomb lattice. Although the low energy description is similar for all these phases, different underlying symmetry group leads to a distinct form of spinon-phonon interaction Hamiltonian. The explicit form of the spinon-phonon interaction is used to estimate the attenuation of ultrasound in an algebraic spin liquid. The perspectives of the sound attenuation as probe of spinons are discussed.
