چکیده

We study bond energy correlation functions in an exactly solvable quantum spin model of Kitaev type on the kagome lattice with stable Fermi surface of partons proposed recently by Chua et al. [arXiv:1010.1035v1]. Even though any spin correlations are of ultrashort range, we find that the bond energy correlations have power-law behavior with a 1/|r|3 envelope and oscillations at incommensurate wave vectors. We determine the corresponding singular surfaces in momentum space, which provide a gauge-invariant characterization of this gapless spin liquid.

Majorana spin liquids on a two-leg ladder

We realize a gapless Majorana orbital liquid (MOL) using orbital degrees of freedom and an SU(2)-invariant Majorana spin liquid (MSL) using both spin and orbital degrees of freedom in Kitaev-type models on a two-leg ladder. The models are exactly solvable by Kitaev’s parton approach, and we obtain long-wavelength descriptions for both Majorana liquids. The MOL has one gapless mode and power-law...

SU(2)-invariant Majorana spin liquid with stable parton Fermi surfaces in an exactly solvable model

We construct an exactly solvable spin-orbital model on a decorated square lattice that realizes an SU(2)-invariant Majorana spin liquid with parton Fermi surfaces, of the kind discussed recently by Biswas et al. [Phys. Rev. B 83, 245131 (2011)]. We find power-law spin correlations as well as power-law spin-nematic correlations with the same dominant 1/|r|3 envelope. The model is solvable also i...

Quantum spin metal state on a decorated honeycomb lattice.

We present a modification of the exactly solvable spin-(1/)2 Kitaev model on the decorated honeycomb lattice, with a ground state of "spin metal" type. The model is diagonalized in terms of Majorana fermions; the latter form a 2D gapless state with a Fermi circle whose size depends on the ratio of exchange couplings. Low-temperature heat capacity C(T) and dynamic spin susceptibility χ(ω,T) are ...

Temperature profile of a power-law fluid over a moving wall with arbitrary injection/suction and internal heat generation/absorption

The heat transfer for a non-Newtonian power-law fluid over a moving surface is investigated by applying a uniform suction/injection velocity profile. The flow is influenced by internal heat generation/absorption. The energy equation is solved at constant surface temperature condition. The Merk-Chao series is applied to obtain a set of ODEs instead of a complicated PDE. The converted ordinary diffe...

Effects of Power-Law Distribution and Exponential with Uniform Pressures on Vibration Behavior of Reinforced Cylindrical Shell Made of Functionally Graded Materials under Symmetric Boundary Conditions

In this paper, the influence of the constituent volume fractions by changing the values of the power-law exponent with uniform pressure on the vibration frequencies of reinforced functionally graded cylindrical shells is studied. The FGM shell with ring is developed in accordance to the volume fraction law from two constituents namely stainless steel and nickel. These constituents are graded th...
