摘要:

在Ising kagome晶格中,用团簇方法研究了几何挫折(GF)和键无序之间的相互作用。该模型考虑了反铁磁(AF)短程耦合和长程团簇间无序相互作用。使用复制形式获得有效的单团簇模型,并通过精确对角化分析热力学。我们发现,GF的存在下,可以引入集群冻结在非常低的水平的混乱。该系统表现出一个熵高原,然后是一个大的熵下降接近冻结温度。在这种情况下,自旋液体(SL)的行为,防止传统的长程序,但一个无穷小的障碍挑选出未补偿的集群状态从多简并SL制度,潜在的集群间的无序耦合,并带来集群自旋玻璃态。总之,我们的研究结果表明,SL状态结合低水平的障碍可以激活小集群,提供超敏的冻结过程中的几何挫折的材料,并发挥了关键作用的玻璃稳定。我们建议,这种物理机制可能存在于几个几何挫折的材料。特别是,我们讨论了我们的结果与最近的实验研究的伊辛戈薇化合物Co $_3$ Mg(OH)$_6$ Cl $_2$。

英文摘要:

The interplay between geometric frustration (GF) and bond disorder is studied in the Ising kagome lattice within a cluster approach. The model considers antiferromagnetic (AF) short-range couplings and long-range intercluster disordered interactions. The replica formalism is used to obtain an effective single cluster model from where the thermodynamics is analyzed by exact diagonalization. We found that the presence of GF can introduce cluster freezing at very low levels of disorder. The system exhibits an entropy plateau followed by a large entropy drop close to the freezing temperature. In this scenario, a spin-liquid (SL) behavior prevents conventional long-range order, but an infinitesimal disorder picks out uncompensated cluster states from the multi degenerate SL regime, potentializing the intercluster disordered coupling and bringing the cluster spin-glass state. To summarize, our results suggest that the SL state combined with low levels of disorder can activate small clusters, providing hypersensitivity to the freezing process in geometrically frustrated materials and playing a key role in the glassy stabilization. We propose that this physical mechanism could be present in several geometrically frustrated materials. In particular, we discuss our results in connection to the recent experimental investigations of the Ising kagome compound Co$_3$Mg(OH)$_6$Cl$_2$.
