چکیده

We examine a possible spin Hall effect for localized spin systems with no charge degrees of freedom. In this scenario, a longitudinal magnetic field gradient induces a transverse spin current carried by spin wave excitations with an anomalous velocity which is caused by a topological Berry-phase effect associated with spin chirality, in analogy with anomalous Hall effects in itinerant electron systems. Our argument is based on semiclassical equations of motion applicable to general spin systems. Also, a microscopic model of frustrated magnets which exhibits the anomalous spin Hall effect is presented.

Ultra-robust high-field magnetization plateau and supersolidity in bond-frustrated MnCr2S4

Frustrated magnets provide a promising avenue for realizing exotic quantum states of matter, such as spin liquids and spin ice or complex spin molecules. Under an external magnetic field, frustrated magnets can exhibit fractional magnetization plateaus related to definite spin patterns stabilized by field-induced lattice distortions. Magnetization and ultrasound experiments in MnCr2S4 up to 60 ...

Spin-nematic and spin-density-wave orders in spatially anisotropic frustrated magnets in a magnetic field.

We develop a microscopic theory of finite-temperature spin-nematic orderings in three-dimensional spatially anisotropic magnets consisting of weakly coupled frustrated spin-1/2 chains with nearest-neighbor and next-nearest-neighbor couplings in a magnetic field. Combining a field theoretical technique with density-matrix renormalization group results, we complete finite-temperature phase diagra...

Multiply periodic states and isolated skyrmions in an anisotropic frustrated magnet

Multiply periodic states appear in a wide variety of physical contexts, such as the Rayleigh-Bénard convection, Faraday waves, liquid crystals and skyrmion crystals recently observed in chiral magnets. Here we study the phase diagram of an anisotropic frustrated magnet which contains five different multiply periodic states including the skyrmion crystal. We clarify the mechanism for stabilizati...

Spin-charge separation in two-dimensional frustrated quantum magnets.

The dynamics of a mobile hole in two-dimensional frustrated quantum magnets is investigated by exact diagonalization techniques. Our results provide evidence for spin-charge separation upon doping the kagome lattice, a prototype of a spin liquid. In contrast, in the checkerboard lattice, a symmetry broken valence bond crystal, a small quasiparticle peak is seen for some crystal momenta, a findi...

Frustrated Bonds and Long Range Order in Quasi-2d Magnets. Typeset Using Revt E X 2

We employ the Schwinger boson mean-field approach to study the effects of arbitrary frustrated bonds and plaquettes (formed from four frustrated bonds) in two-dimensional ferro-and antiferromagnets on the spin-wave spectrum and the correlation length at finite temperatures. We distinguish between strongly frustrated bonds (plaquettes), when the frustrated coupling J ′ exceeds the spin canting t...
