The valence bond solid in quasicrystals

چکیده
A generalized model of Heisenberg quantum antiferromagnet on an arbitrary graph is constructed so that the VBS is the unique ground state. The norm of the base state and equal time multi point correlation functions are computed in terms of generalized hyper geometric functions. For the one-dimensional periodic Heisenberg model we present a method of computing multi point correlation functions based on the study of a commuting family of transfer matrices. The connection of multi point correlators with Young tableaux and Gegenbauer polynomials is found.

Direct observation of solid-state reversed transformation from crystals to quasicrystals in a Mg alloy
Phase transformation of quasicrystals is of interest in various fields of science and technology. Interestingly, we directly observed unexpected solid-state epitaxial nucleation and growth of Zn6Mg3Y icosahedral quasicrystals in a Mg alloy at about 573 K which is about 300 K below the melting point of Zn6Mg3Y, in contrast to formation of quasicrystals through solidification that was usually fou...
متن کاملNovel Order Parameter to Characterize Valence-Bond-Solid States
We propose an order parameter to characterize valence-bond-solid (VBS) states in quantum spin chains, given by the ground-state expectation value of a unitary operator appearing in the Lieb-Schultz-Mattis argument. We show that the order parameter changes the sign according to the configuration of the valence bonds. This allows us to determine the phase transition point in between different VBS...
متن کاملTheory of Néel and valence-bond solid phases on the kagome lattice of Zn paratacamite.
Recently, neutron scattering data on powder samples of Zn paratacamite, ZnxCu4-x(OH)6Cl2, with small Zn concentration has been interpreted as evidence for valence-bond solid and Néel ordering [S.-H. Lee, Nat. Mater. 6, 853 (2007)10.1038/nmat1986]. We study the classical and quantum Heisenberg models on the distorted kagome lattice appropriate for Zn paratacamite at low Zn doping. Our theory nat...
متن کاملValence bond solid phases in a cubic antiferromagnet.
We report on a valence bond projector Monte Carlo simulation of the cubic lattice quantum Heisenberg model with additional higher-order exchange interactions in each unit cell. The model supports two different valence bond solid (VBS) ground states. In one of these states, the dimer pattern is a three-dimensional analogue of the columnar pattern familiar from two dimensions. In the other, the d...
متن کاملGround state of antiferromagnetic Heisenberg two-leg ladder in terms of the valence-bond solid picture
We have proposed the plaquette-singlet solid (PSS) ground state for the spin-1 antiferromagnetic Heisenberg twoleg ladder. Based on the PSS picture, we discuss the correspondence of the PSS state to the valence-bond solid (VBS) state of the ground state of spin-2 chain by introducing an appropriate composite spin picture. When the bond alternation is introduced, there occur quantum phase transi...
