Long-Range Néel Order in the Triangular Heisenberg Model
نویسندگان
چکیده
We have studied the Heisenberg model on the triangular lattice using quantum Monte Carlo techniques (up to 144 sites) and exact diagonalization (up to 36 sites). By studying the spin gap as a function of the system size we have obtained robust evidence for a gapless spectrum, confirming the existence of long-range Néel order. Our best estimate is that in the thermodynamic limit the order parameter my 0.41 6 0.02 is reduced by about 59% from its classical value and the ground state energy per site is e0 20.5458 6 0.0001 in units of the exchange coupling. We have identified the ground state correlations that are important at short distances. [S0031-9007(99)09099-7]

Optimizing the RVB state on a triangular lattice: Presence of the long-range order
We present a Schwinger-boson approach for the RVB state of the spin-1/2 Heisenberg antiferromagnet on a triangular lattice. It is shown that a Gutzwiller projection of the mean-field state that includes both antiferromagnetic and ferromagnetic decouplings leads to optimizing the RVB pair amplitudes within a self-consistent approximation. The resulting state yields, by Monte Carlo simulations, e...
متن کاملMagnetic properties of the two-dimensional Heisenberg model on a triangular lattice
The spin Green’s function of the antiferromagnetic Heisenberg model on a triangular lattice is calculated using Mori’s projection operator technique. At T = 0 the spin excitation spectrum is shown to have gaps at the wave vectors of the classical Néel ordering. This points to the absence of the antiferromagnetic long-range order in the ground state. The calculated spin correlation on the neighb...
متن کاملQuantum Effects and Broken Symmetries in Frustrated Antiferromagnets
We investigate the interplay between frustration and zero-point quantum fluctuations in the ground state of the triangular and J1−J2 Heisenberg antiferromagnets, using finitesize spin-wave theory, exact diagonalization, and quantum Monte Carlo methods. In the triangular Heisenberg antiferromagnet, by performing a systematic size-scaling analysis, we have obtained strong evidences for a gapless ...
متن کاملEmergent Power-Law Phase in the 2D Heisenberg Windmill Antiferromagnet: A Computational Experiment.
In an extensive computational experiment, we test Polyakov's conjecture that under certain circumstances an isotropic Heisenberg model can develop algebraic spin correlations. We demonstrate the emergence of a multispin U(1) order parameter in a Heisenberg antiferromagnet on interpenetrating honeycomb and triangular lattices. The correlations of this relative phase angle are observed to decay a...
متن کاملDamage spreading in two dimensional geometrically frustrated lattices: the triangular and kagome anisotropic Heisenberg model
The technique of damage spreading is used to study the phase diagram of the easy axis anisotropic Heisenberg antiferromagnet on two geometrically frustrated lattices. The triangular and kagome systems are built up from triangular units that either share edges or corners respectively. The triangular lattice undergoes two sequential Kosterlitz-Thouless transitions while the kagome lattice undergo...
