三角晶格Ising反铁磁体对称性破缺的拓扑性质

Topological aspects of symmetry breaking in triangular-lattice Ising antiferromagnets

Andrew Smerald, Sergey Korshunov, Frederic Mila

摘要:

利用一种特殊设计的有向环Monte Carlo算法,研究了三角晶格Ising反铁磁体的超近邻耦合问题。我们发现,从条纹状态的顺磁体的一阶过渡可以分裂,产生一个中间的非线性相位,其中代数相关性与对称性破缺共存。此外,我们证明了出现的几个属性的拓扑性质,如分数边缘激发条纹状态,扩散的双畴壁在双相,和它们之间的Kasteleyn过渡。实验的影响进行了简要讨论。

英文摘要:

Using a specially designed Monte Carlo algorithm with directed loops, we investigate the triangular lattice Ising antiferromagnet with coupling beyond nearest neighbour. We show that the first-order transition from the stripe state to the paramagnet can be split, giving rise to an intermediate nematic phase in which algebraic correlations coexist with a broken symmetry. Furthermore, we demonstrate the emergence of several properties of a more topological nature such as fractional edge excitations in the stripe state, the proliferation of double domain walls in the nematic phase, and the Kasteleyn transition between them. Experimental implications are briefly discussed.
