چکیده

We predict that a temperature gradient can induce a magnon-mediated spin Hall response in an antiferromagnet with nontrivial magnon Berry curvature. We develop a linear response theory which gives a general condition for a Hall current to be well defined, even when the thermal Hall response is forbidden by symmetry. We apply our theory to a honeycomb lattice antiferromagnet and discuss a role of magnon edge states in a finite geometry.

Universal low-temperature behavior of frustrated quantum antiferromagnets in the vicinity of the saturation field

We study the low-temperature thermodynamic properties of a number of frustrated quantum antiferromagnets which support localized magnon states in the vicinity of the saturation field. For this purpose we use 1) a mapping of the low-energy degrees of freedom of spin systems onto the hard-core object lattice gases and 2) an exact diagonalization of finite spin systems of up to N = 30 sites. The c...

Spin-wave interactions in quantum antiferromagnets

– We study spin-wave interactions in quantum antiferromagnets by expressing the usual magnon annihilation and creation operators in terms of Hermitian field operators representing transverse staggered and ferromagnetic spin fluctuations. In this parameterization, which was anticipated by Anderson in 1952, the two-body interaction vertex between staggered spin fluctuations vanishes at long wavel...

Spin-current order in anisotropic triangular antiferromagnets.

We analyze instabilities of the collinear up-up-down state of a two-dimensional quantum spin-S spatially anisotropic triangular lattice antiferromagnet in a magnetic field. We find, within the large-S approximation, that near the end point of the plateau, the collinear state becomes unstable due to the condensation of two-magnon bound pairs rather than single magnons. The two-magnon instability...

Quasiparticle excitations in frustrated antiferromagnets

We have computed the quasiparticle wave function corresponding to a hole injected in a triangular antiferromagnet. We have taken into account multi-magnon contributions within the self consistent Born approximation. We have found qualitative differences, under sign reversal of the integral transfer t, regarding the multi-magnon components and the own existence of the quasiparticle excitations. ...

Raman spectra of two-dimensional spin-$ Heisenberg antiferromagnets

The Raman spectrum of two-dimensional spin-$ Heisenberg antiferromagnets is calculated by exactly diagonalizing clusters of up to 26 sites. The obtained spectra are compared to experimental results for various high-T, precursors, such as La,CuO, and YBa,Cu,O,,. In spite of good agreement in the position of the main excitation in the B rg channel, i.e, the two-magnon peak around 0.4 eV, an addit...
