摘要:

著名的Kitaev蜂窝模型提供了一个精确的量子自旋液体基态的分析易处理的例子。而在实际材料中,除了Kitaev耦合($K$)之外,还存在其他类型的相互作用,例如海森堡($J$)和对称非对角($Γ$)项,并且这些相互作用也可以推广到三角形晶格。本文采用精确对角化、经典MonteCarlo和解析方法相结合的方法,对覆盖全参数区域的三角格点上的$J$-$K$- $Γ$模型进行了全面的研究.在HK极限($Γ=0$),我们发现五个量子相位是非常相似的,他们的经典同行。其中,条纹A和双Néel相位对$Γ$项是稳健的,特别是对于$Γ<0$,条纹A延伸到连接$K=-1$和$K=1$的区域。虽然120 $^\circ$ Néel相也扩展到有限$Γ$,但其范围与以前的经典结果相比大大缩小。有趣的是,铁磁(称为FM-A)相和条纹B相是不稳定的,在一个无穷小的$Γ$相互作用。此外,我们发现五个新的阶段$Γ\ne 0$这是阐述了量子和经典的数值方法。在经典的研究中,发现部分先前确定为120 $^\circ$ Néel相位的空间让位于调制条纹相位。根据$Γ$的符号,FM-A相转变为具有不同自旋取向的FM-B($Γ>0$)和FM-C($Γ<0$)相,并且条纹B相转变为条纹C($Γ>0$)和条纹A($Γ<0$)。在正$Γ$点附近,由于海森堡、Kiatev和$Γ$相互作用的相互作用,我们发现了一种可能的具有连续自旋激发的量子自旋液体。

英文摘要:

The celebrated Kitaev honeycomb model provides an analytically tractable example with an exact quantum spin liquid ground state. While in real materials, other types of interactions besides the Kitaev coupling ($K$) are present, such as the Heisenberg ($J$) and symmetric off-diagonal ($Γ$) terms, and these interactions can also be generalized to a triangular lattice. Here, we carry out a comprehensive study of the $J$-$K$-$Γ$ model on the triangular lattice covering the full parameters region, using the combination of the exact diagonalization, classical Monte Carlo and analytic methods. In the HK limit ($Γ=0$), we find five quantum phases which are quite similar to their classical counterparts. Among them, the stripe-A and dual Néel phase are robust against the $Γ$ term, in particular the stripe-A extends to the region connecting the $K=-1$ and $K=1$ for $Γ<0$. Though the 120$^\circ$ Néel phase also extends to a finite $Γ$, its region has been largely reduced compared to the previous classical result. Interestingly, the ferromagnetic (dubbed as FM-A) phase and the stripe-B phase are unstable in response to an infinitesimal $Γ$ interaction. Moreover, we find five new phases for $Γ\ne 0$ which are elaborated by both the quantum and classical numerical methods. Part of the space previously identified as 120$^\circ$ Néel phase in the classical study is found to give way to the modulated stripe phase. Depending on the sign of the $Γ$, the FM-A phase transits into the FM-B ($Γ>0$) and FM-C ($Γ<0$) phase with different spin orientations, and the stripe-B phase transits into the stripe-C ($Γ>0$) and stripe-A ($Γ<0$). Around the positive $Γ$ point, due to the interplay of the Heisenberg, Kiatev and $Γ$ interactions, we find a possible quantum spin liquid with a continuum in spin excitations.
