摘要:

近年来,稀土硫卤族化合物被认为是实现Kitaev自旋液体的候选化合物。本文首次提出了与晶体结构对称群一致的有效自旋哈密顿量。然后我们应用经典的蒙特卡罗模拟对模型进行了初步的研究,并建立了相图。当接近低温极限时,观察到了几种磁性长程序,包括条纹有序、锯齿有序、反铁磁有序(AFM)、铁磁有序(FM)、无公度螺旋有序(IS)、多$\pmb {Q}$有序和120°有序。我们进一步计算了系统的热力学性质,如磁化率和热容的温度依赖性。这两个量所反映的有序化转变温度是一致的。对于大多数相互作用区域,系统在$ab$ -平面上比在$c$ -方向上更易磁化。条纹相是特殊的,在整个温度范围内磁化率是相当各向同性的。这些特征为理解相关材料的磁性提供了有用的信息。

英文摘要:

Recently, the family of rare-earth chalcohalides were proposed as candidate compounds to realize the Kitaev spin liquid (KSL). In the present work, we firstly propose an effective spin Hamiltonian consistents with the symmetry group of the crystal structure. Then we apply classical Monte Carlo simulations to preliminarily study the model and establish a phase diagram. When approaching to the low temperature limit, several magnetic long range orders are observed, including the stripe, the zigzag, the antiferromagnetic (AFM), the ferromagnetic (FM), the incommensurate spiral (IS), the Multi-$\pmb {Q}$ and the 120°. We further calculate the thermodynamic properties of the system, such as the temperature dependence of the magnetic susceptibility and the heat capacity. The ordering transition temperatures reflected in the two quantities agree with each other. For most interaction regions, the system is magnetically more susceptible in the $ab$-plane than in the $c$-direction. The stripe phase is special, where the susceptibility is fairly isotropic in the whole temperature region. These features provide useful information to understand the magnetic properties of related materials.
