摘要:

我们研究了一类二维和三维装饰晶格上自旋-1/2 Heisenberg模型的基态性质。每个星形单元由共享边的三角形构成,共享边具有反铁磁相互作用,其他边具有铁磁相互作用。在临界耦合比下,理想星形模型(定义为等强度铁磁相互作用)表现出宏观退相干的基态,我们将其映射到Lieb晶格上的位点渗透问题。这种映射使我们能够计算指数级基态退相干和相应的残余熵,适用于正方形、三角形、蜂窝状和立方晶格。值得注意的是,所有研究的晶格的残余熵仍保持较高,超过最大值ln(2)的60%。尽管存在无能隙的二次单磁子谱,但低温热力学由指数级众多的有能隙激发支配。对于变形星形变体模型,基态空间等同于解耦的铁磁簇,导致指数退相干,残余熵较低但仍然显著。在低温下,系统模拟非相互作用高自旋(s=4对于正方形晶格)的顺磁晶体。获得的结果建立了一种结构设计原理,用于工程具有高基态退相干的量子磁体,表明有前景的候选者用于增强磁卡诺冷却和量子热机。

英文摘要:

We study the ground-state properties of a family of frustrated spin-1/2 Heisenberg models on two- and three-dimensional decorated lattices composed of connected star-shaped units. Each star is built from edge-sharing triangles with an antiferromagnetic interaction on the shared side and ferromagnetic interactions on the others. At a critical coupling ratio, the ideal star model - defined by equal ferromagnetic interactions - exhibits a macroscopically degenerate ground state, which we map onto a site percolation problem on the Lieb lattice. This mapping enables the calculation of exponential ground-state degeneracy and the corresponding residual entropy for square, triangular, honeycomb, and cubic lattices. Remarkably, the residual entropy remains high for all studied lattices, exceeding 60\% of the maximal value ln(2). Despite a gapless quadratic one-magnon spectrum, the low-temperature thermodynamics is governed by exponentially numerous gapped excitations. For a distorted-star variant of the model, the ground-state manifold is equivalent to that of decoupled ferromagnetic clusters, leading to exponential degeneracy with a lower, yet still substantial, residual entropy. At low temperature the system mimics a paramagnetic crystal of non-interacting spins with high spin value ($s=4$ for a square lattice). The obtained results establish a structural design principle for engineering quantum magnets with a high ground-state degeneracy, suggesting promising candidates for enhanced magnetocaloric cooling and quantum thermal machines.
