超蜂窝晶格上的SU(4)对称自旋轨道液体

SU(4)-symmetric spin-orbital liquids on the hyperhoneycomb lattice

Willian M. H. Natori, Eric C. Andrade, Rodrigo G. Pereira

摘要:

研究了在理想三配位晶格中描述4 $d^1$和5 $d^1$莫特绝缘体磁性的有效自旋轨道模型。在Hund耦合消失的极限下,该模型有一个涌现的SU(4)对称性,这是明确的赝自旋自由度的克莱因变换的手段。以超蜂窝晶格为例,我们采用赝自旋算符的费米子表示的部分子结构来研究可能的量子自旋轨道液态。然后,我们使用变分蒙特卡罗(VMC)方法来计算投影的波函数的能量。我们的数值计算结果表明,最低能量的量子液体对应于零通量状态的费米表面的四色费米子部分子。尽管费米表面,我们证明,这种状态是稳定的,对四聚。将线性味波理论和VMC相结合应用于完整的微观模型也表明,这种液态对共线长程序的形成是稳定的。

英文摘要:

We study the effective spin-orbital model that describes the magnetism of 4$d^1$ or 5$d^1$ Mott insulators in ideal tricoordinated lattices. In the limit of vanishing Hund's coupling, the model has an emergent SU(4) symmetry which is made explicit by means of a Klein transformation on pseudospin degrees of freedom. Taking the hyperhoneycomb lattice as an example, we employ parton constructions with fermionic representations of the pseudospin operators to investigate possible quantum spin-orbital liquid states. We then use variational Monte Carlo (VMC) methods to compute the energies of the projected wave functions. Our numerical results show that the lowest-energy quantum liquid corresponds to a zero-flux state with a Fermi surface of four-color fermionic partons. In spite of the Fermi surface, we demonstrate that this state is stable against tetramerization. A combination of linear flavor wave theory and VMC applied to the complete microscopic model also shows that this liquid state is stable against the formation of collinear long-range order.
