Optimizing the RVB state on a triangular lattice: Presence of the long-range order
نویسنده
چکیده
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, energies and spin-spin correlations in excellent agreement with the exact diagonalization result on finite lattices (up to 36 sites). We conclude that the optimized RVB wavefunction possesses a long-range three-sublattice order.

We consider RVB state as a variational estimate for the ground state of Heisenberg antiferromagnet in square lattice. We present numerical calculation of energy, spin-spin correlation function and spin excitation spectrum. We show, that the quantum flactuations reduce of magnetization respect to Neel order.

متن کاملResonating valence bond liquid physics on the triangular lattice
We give an account of the short-range RVB liquid phase on the triangular lattice, starting from an elementary introduction to quantum dimer models including details of the overlap expansion used to generate them. The fate of the topological degeneracy of the state under duality is discussed, as well as recent developments including its possible relevance for quantum computing. §1. Short-range R...

Takada et al. have reported superconductivity in layered NaxCoO2.yH2O (Tc ≈ 5 K) and more recently Wen et al. in AxCoO2+δ (A = Na, K)(Tc ≈ 31 K). We model a reference neutral CoO2 layer as an orbitally non-degenerate spin1 2 antiferromagnetic Mott insulator on a triangular lattice and NaxCoO2.yH2O and AxCoO2+δ as electron doped Mott insulators described by a tJ model. It is suggested that at op...
متن کاملNearest-neighbour resonating valence bonds in YbMgGaO4
Since its proposal by Anderson, resonating valence bonds (RVB) formed by a superposition of fluctuating singlet pairs have been a paradigmatic concept in understanding quantum spin liquids. Here, we show that excitations related to singlet breaking on nearest-neighbour bonds describe the high-energy part of the excitation spectrum in YbMgGaO4, the effective spin-1/2 frustrated antiferromagnet o...

It is shown that the problem of calculating spin-spin correlation functions, in the dimers RVB states, on a possibly diluted 2D square lattice, can be formulated in terms of a transfer matrix. The transfer matrix is used for exact numerical calculations of spin-spin correlation functions on ladders up to four units wide. Typeset using REVTEX 1 In the last few years, the class of Resonating Vale...
