摘要:

我们认为,一个相对简单的模型,只包含SU(2)不变的手征三自旋相互作用的S=1/2自旋的Kagome晶格可以产生一个带隙和无带隙的量子自旋液体。我们的论点是植根于制定网络模型的边缘状态,并通过仔细的数值分析。对于在晶格上均匀选择的手征,我们实现了Kalmeyer-Laughlin态,即被识别为nu=1/2玻色子Laughlin态的带隙自旋液体。对于交错的手征性,出现了一个无间隙的自旋液体,表现出沿动量空间中的线,我们通过研究有限宽度的准二维系统探测的功能,无间隙的自旋激发。因此,我们提供了一个单一的,吸引人的简单自旋模型(i)可能是最简单的实现Kalmeyer-Laughlin状态的日期,以及(ii)的非费米液体状态与线的无隙SU(2)自旋激发。

英文摘要:

We argue that a relatively simple model containing only SU(2)-invariant chiral three-spin interactions on a Kagome lattice of S=1/2 spins can give rise to both a gapped and a gapless quantum spin liquid. Our arguments are rooted in a formulation in terms of network models of edge states and are backed up by a careful numerical analysis. For a uniform choice of chirality on the lattice, we realize the Kalmeyer-Laughlin state, i.e. a gapped spin liquid which is identified as the nu=1/2 bosonic Laughlin state. For staggered chiralities, a gapless spin liquid emerges which exhibits gapless spin excitations along lines in momentum space, a feature that we probe by studying quasi-two-dimensional systems of finite width. We thus provide a single, appealingly simple spin model (i) for what is probably the simplest realization of the Kalmeyer-Laughlin state to date, as well as (ii) for a non-Fermi liquid state with lines of gapless SU(2) spin excitations.
