Key Role of Orbital Anisotropy in Geometrically Frustrated Electron System

چکیده
By using the density matrix renormalization group method, we investigate groundand excited-state properties of the eg-orbital degenerate Hubbard model at quarter filling for two kinds of lattices, zigzag chain and ladder. In the zigzag chain, the system is effectively regarded as a decoupled double chain of the S=1/2 antiferromagnetic Heisenberg model, and the spin gap is approximately zero, similar to the case of weakly coupled Heisenberg chains. On the other hand, in the ladder, the spin correlation on the rung remains robust and the spin gap exists.

Investigation of broken symmetry phases with long range order in strongly correlated electron systems is among subjects that have always been of interest to condensed matter scientists. In this paper we tried to study the existence of the 120 degrees magnetic spiral order, based on anisotropy in geometrically frustrated triangular lattices, using variational cluster approximation. We observed t...
متن کاملOrbital-spin order and the origin of structural distortion in MgTi2O4
We analyze electronic, magnetic, and structural properties of the spinel compound MgTi2O4 using the local density approximation+U method. We show how MgTi2O4 undergoes to a canted orbitalspin ordered state, where charge, spin and orbital degrees of freedom are frozen in a geometrically frustrated network by electron interactions. In our picture orbital order stabilizes the magnetic ground state...
متن کاملOrbital ordering and one-dimensional magnetic correlation in vanadium spinel oxides AV2O4 (A= Zn, Mg, or Cd)
We present our theoretical results on the mechanism of two transitions in vanadium spinel oxides AV2O4 (A=Zn, Mg, or Cd) in which magnetic V cations constitute a geometrically-frustrated pyrochlore structure. We have derived an effective spin-orbital-lattice coupled model in the strong correlation limit of the multiorbital Hubbard model, and applied Monte Carlo simulation to the model. The resu...
متن کاملAnisotropic susceptibility of the geometrically frustrated spin-chain compound Ca3Co2O6
Ca3Co2O6 is a system exhibiting a series of fascinating properties, including magnetization plateaus and remarkably slow dynamics at low-T . These properties are intimately related to the geometrical frustration, which results from a particular combination of features: (i) the chains are arranged on a triangular lattice; (ii) there is a large uniaxial anisotropy; (iii) the intrachain and interc...
متن کاملEffect of interlayer interactions and lattice distortions on the magnetic ground state and spin dynamics of a geometrically frustrated triangular-lattice antiferromagnet
We investigate the effects of interlayer interactions and lattice distortions on the noncollinear ground state and spin dynamics of a geometrically frustrated triangular-lattice antiferromagnet with implications for the multiferroic phase of doped CuFeO2, where both lattice distortions and anisotropy introduce anharmonic components into the spin ground state. In contrast to the single turn angl...
