چکیده
We propose stacked two-dimensional lattice designs of frustrated and SO(3) symmetric spin models consisting antiferromagnetic (AFM) triangular ferromagnetic (FM) sixfold sublattices that realize emergent Z3 Potts nematic order. Considering bilinear-biquadratic interactions, our describe an SO(3)-symmetric AFM subject to a fluctuating magnetization arising from the FM coupled sublattice. focus on classical AFM-FM windmill model map out zero- finite-temperature phase diagram using Monte Carlo simulations analytical calculations. discover state with composite order above ferrimagnetic three-sublattice up-up-down ground relate it phases in SO(3)-broken Heisenberg Ising AFMs external magnetic fields. Finally, we show biquadratic exchange is automatically induced by thermal quantum fluctuations purely bilinear model, easing requirements for realizing these experimentally.

Order reconstruction in frustrated nematic twist cells.
Within the Landau-de Gennes theory of liquid crystals, we study the equilibrium configurations of a nematic cell with twist boundary conditions. Under the assumption that the order tensor Q be uniaxial on both bounding plates, we find three separate classes of solutions, one of which contains the absolute energy minimizer, a twistlike solution that exists for all values of the distance d betwee...
متن کاملNematic order in square lattice frustrated ferromagnets.
We present a new scenario for the breakdown of ferromagnetic order in a two-dimensional quantum magnet with competing ferromagnetic and antiferromagnetic interactions. In this, dynamical effects lead to the formation of two-magnon bound states, which undergo Bose-Einstein condensation, giving rise to bond-centered nematic order. This scenario is explored in some detail for an extended Heisenber...
متن کاملSpin-lattice order in frustrated ZnCr2O4.
Using synchrotron x-ray and neutron diffraction, we disentangle spin-lattice order in highly frustrated ZnCr2O4 where magnetic chromium ions occupy the vertices of regular tetrahedra. Upon cooling below 12.5 K the quandary of antialigning spins surrounding the triangular faces of tetrahedra is resolved by establishing weak interactions on each triangle through an intricate lattice distortion. H...

We investigate the phase diagram and, in particular, the nature of the the multicritical point in three-dimensional frustrated N -component spin models with noncollinear order in the presence of an external field, for instance easyaxis stacked triangular antiferromagnets in the presence of a magnetic field along the easy axis. For this purpose we study the renormalization-group flow in a Landau...
متن کاملNematic order by thermal disorder in a three-dimensional lattice spin model with dipolarlike interactions.
At low temperatures, some lattice spin models with simple ferromagnetic or antiferromagnetic interactions (for example, nearest-neighbor interaction being isotropic in spin space on a bipartite three-dimensional lattice) produce orientationally ordered phases exhibiting nematic (second-rank) order, in addition to the primary first-rank one; on the other hand, in the literature, they have been r...
