fcc反铁磁体中的量子涨落与热涨落:无序有序的替代途径

Quantum versus thermal fluctuations in the fcc antiferromagnet: alternative routes to order by disorder

R. Schick, T. Ziman, M. E. Zhitomirsky

摘要:

在具有竞争相互作用的受挫磁系统中,涨落可以提升剩余的偶然简并。我们认为,状态选择可能有不同的结果,量子和热有序无序。作为一个例子,我们考虑了半经典海森堡面心立方反铁磁体只有最近邻相互作用。零点振荡在T=0时选择3型共线反铁磁态。热涨落反而有利于1型反铁磁结构。相反的趋势导致两个共线状态之间的有限温度转变。无序引起的量子有序效应和热有序效应之间的竞争是一种普遍现象,在J_1-J_2正方晶格反铁磁体中,在临界点J_2 = 0.5J_1处也存在这种现象。

英文摘要:

In frustrated magnetic systems with competing interactions fluctuations can lift the residual accidental degeneracy. We argue that the state selection may have different outcomes for quantum and thermal order by disorder. As an example, we consider the semiclassical Heisenberg fcc antiferromagnet with only the nearest-neighbor interactions. Zero-point oscillations select the type 3 collinear antiferromagnetic state at T=0. Thermal fluctuations favor instead the type 1 antiferromagnetic structure. The opposite tendencies result in a finite-temperature transition between the two collinear states. Competition between effects of quantum and thermal order by disorder is a general phenomenon and is also realized in the J1-J2 square-lattice antiferromagnet at the critical point J2 = 0.5 J1.
