Kagomé Heisenberg Antiferromagnets
نویسنده
چکیده
The magnetization process of the S = 1 and 1/2 kagomé Heisenberg antiferromagnet is studied by means of the numerical exact diagonalization method. It is found that the magnetization curve at zero temperature has a plateau at 1/3 of the full magnetization. In the presence of √ 3 × √ 3 lattice distortion, this plateau is enhanced and eventually the ferrimagnetic state is realized. There also appear the minor plateaux above the main plateau. The physical origin of these phenomena is discussed.

Slow Relaxation Process in Ising like Heisenberg Kagome Antiferromagnets due to Macroscopic Degeneracy in the Ordered State
We study relaxation phenomena in the macroscopically ordered state in the Ising like Heisenberg kagome antiferromagnets. In recent experiments, slow relaxation phenomena have been observed in kagome compounds. We introduce the ”weathervane loop” in order to characterize the ordered state and study the microscopic mechanism of the slow relaxation from a view point of the dynamics of the weatherv...
متن کاملUnconventional dynamics in triangular Heisenberg antiferromagnet NaCrO2.
We report magnetization, specific heat, muon spin rotation, and Na NMR measurements on the S=3/2 rhombohedrally stacked Heisenberg antiferromagnet NaCrO2. This compound appears to be a good candidate for the study of isotropic triangular Heisenberg antiferromagnets with very weak interlayer coupling. While specific heat and magnetization measurements indicate the onset of a transition in the ra...
متن کاملLocal Spin Correlations in Heisenberg Antiferromagnets
We use linked cluster series expansion methods to estimate the values of various short distance correlation functions in S = 1/2 Heisenberg antiferromagnets at T = 0, for dimension d = 1, 2, 3. The method incorporates the possibility of spontaneous symmetry breaking, which is manifest in d = 2, 3. The results are important in providing a test for approximate theories of the antiferromagnetic gr...
متن کاملHeisenberg antiferromagnets with exchange and cubic anisotropies
We study classical Heisenberg antiferromagnets with uniaxial exchange anisotropy and a cubic anisotropy term on simple cubic lattices in an external magnetic field using ground state considerations and extensive Monte Carlo simulations. In addition to the antiferromagnetic phase field–induced spin–flop and non–collinear, biconical phases may occur. Phase diagrams and critical as well as multicr...
