We study a generalized Shastry-Sutherland model for the material SrCu2(BO3)(2). Along a line in the parameter space, we show rigorously that the model has a first-order phase transition between dimerized and Neel-ordered ground states. Furthermore, when a magnetic field is applied in the dimerized phase, magnetization plateaus develop at commensurate values of the magnetization. We also discuss various aspects of the phase diagram and properties of this model away from this exactly soluble line, which include gap-closing continuous transitions between dimerized and magnetically ordered phases. 相似文献

SrCu2(BO3)(2) is a two-dimensional dimerized quantum spin system which is close to a quantum critical point. The sound velocity for the longitudinal and transverse acoustic modes shows strong spin-lattice effects. The shear c(66) mode exhibits a pronounced softening of 4.5% as a function of temperature and softens more than 25% in fields up to 50 T. This huge effect occurs in the vicinity of the magnetization plateaus m/m(0) = 1/4 and 1/3. We can analyze quantitatively the temperature dependence of all measured elastic modes c(11), c(44), and c(66) with an exchange striction mechanism. The soft c(66) mode with B(2g) symmetry enables us to predict the possible symmetry of the condensed triplets in some plateaus. 相似文献

The antiferromagnetic Heisenberg model on the frustrated Shastry-Sutherland lattice is studied by a mapping onto spinless fermions carrying one quantum of statistical flux. Using a mean-field approximation these fermions populate the bands of a generalized Hofstadter problem. Their filling leads to the magnetization curve. For SrCu(2)(BO(3))(2) we reproduce plateaus at 1/3 and 1/4 of the saturation moment and predict a new one at 1/2. Gaussian fluctuations of the gauge field are shown to be massive at these plateau values. 相似文献

has been discovered in the two-dimensional spin dimer compound SrCu2(BO3)2. The temperature evolution of the structure in both phases has been studied by X-ray diffraction and Raman scattering, supplemented
by differential scanning calorimetry and SQUID magnetometry. The implications of this transition and of the observed phonon
anomalies in Raman scattering for spin-phonon and interlayer coupling in this quantum spin system will be discussed.

Raman light scattering of the two-dimensional quantum spin system SrCu2(BO3)(2) shows a rich structure in the magnetic excitation spectrum, including several well-defined bound state modes at low temperature, and a scattering continuum and quasielastic light scattering contributions at high temperature. The key to the understanding of the unique features of SrCu2(BO3)(2) is the presence of strong interactions between well-localized triplet excitations in the network of orthogonal spin dimers realized in this compound. 相似文献

We performed inelastic neutron scattering on the 2D Shastry-Sutherland system SrCu2(11BO3)2 with an exact dimer ground state. Three energy levels at around 3, 5, and 9 meV were observed at 1.7 K. The lowest excitation at 3.0 meV is almost dispersionless with a bandwidth of 0.2 meV at most, showing a significant constraint on a single-triplet hopping owing to the orthogonality of the neighboring dimers. In contrast, the correlated two-triplet excitations at 5 meV exhibit a more dispersive behavior. 相似文献

X-band electron paramagnetic resonance measurements on a single crystal of the highly frustrated SrCu2(BO3)2 system are shown to provide an essential inspection of the magnetic anisotropy present in this compound. The very broad absorption lines seem to be consistent with the largest anisotropy term, namely, the antisymmetric Dzyaloshinsky-Moriya (DM) interaction allowed by symmetry. However, the previously well-accepted model of only interdimer interaction is generalized with additional intradimer DM terms. Moreover, spin-phonon coupling is recognized as the cause of the line width broadening with increasing temperature. 相似文献

The specific heat of a two-dimensional spin gap system SrCu2(BO3)2 realizing the Shastry-Suther-land model was measured between 1.3 and 25 K under various magnetic fields up to 12 T. The analysis based on an isolated dimer model in a low temperature region revealed that the value of the spin gap at zero field is Δ = 34.4 K. It turned out that Δ decreases in proportion to H due to the Zeeman splitting of the excited triplet levels. This simplest model, however, fails to reproduce the result in a high-temperature region, suggesting rather strong spin-spin correlation of the system. 相似文献

High resolution neutron scattering measurements on a single crystal of SrCu(2-x)Mgx(BO3)2 with x approximately 0.05 reveal the presence of new spin excitations within the gap of this quasi-two-dimensional, singlet ground state system. The application of a magnetic field induces Zeeman-split states associated with S=1/2 unpaired spins which are antiferromagnetically correlated with the bulk singlet. Substantial broadening of both the one- and two-triplet excitations in the doped single crystal is observed, as compared with pure SrCu2(BO3)2. Theoretical calculations using a variational algorithm and a single quenched magnetic vacancy on an infinite lattice are shown to qualitatively account for these effects. 相似文献

We consider a quantum impurity model in which a bosonic impurity
level is coupled to a non-interacting bosonic bath, with the bosons
at the impurity site subject to a local Coulomb repulsion U. Numerical
renormalization group calculations for this bosonic single-impurity
Anderson model reveal a zero-temperature phase diagram where
Mott phases with reduced charge fluctuations are separated from a
Bose-Einstein condensed phase by lines of quantum critical
points. We discuss possible realizations of this model, such as
atomic quantum dots in optical lattices. Furthermore, the bosonic
single-impurity Anderson model appears as an effective impurity model
in a dynamical mean-field theory of the Bose-Hubbard model. 相似文献

We report a study of the ferromagnetism of ZrZn2, the most promising material to exhibit ferromagnetic quantum criticality, at low temperatures T as a function of pressure p. We find that the ordered ferromagnetic moment disappears discontinuously at p(c)=16.5 kbar. Thus a tricritical point separates a line of first order ferromagnetic transitions from second order (continuous) transitions at higher temperature. We also identify two lines of transitions of the magnetization isotherms up to 12 T in the p-T plane where the derivative of the magnetization changes rapidly. These quantum phase transitions (QPT) establish a high sensitivity to local minima in the free energy in ZrZn2, thus strongly suggesting that QPT in itinerant ferromagnets are always first order. 相似文献

We present 11B NMR studies of the 2D frustrated dimer spin system SrCu2(BO3)_{2} in the field range 27-31 T covering the upper phase boundary of the 1/8 magnetization plateau, identified at 28.4 T. Our data provide a clear evidence that above 28.4 T the spin superlattice of the 1/8 plateau is modified but does not melt even though the magnetization increases. Although this is precisely what is expected for a supersolid phase, the microscopic nature of this new phase is much more complex. We discuss the field-temperature phase diagram on the basis of our NMR data. 相似文献

The observed phase transitions in Tetrathiafulvalene-Tetracyanoquinodimethane (TTF-TCNQ) are discussed using a simple model for the interchain coupling of charge density waves. Estimates based on Coulomb energies show that for 38 K < T < 49 K the components and qz of the wave vector associated with the charge density wave satisfy , with and T2 = 49 K. A possible mechanism for the first order transition at 38 K is proposed. The results are compared with neutron and X-ray scattering and with isotope shifts of the transition temperatures. 相似文献

The thermal conductivity and specific heat of SrCu2(BO3)2, a quasi-two-dimensional metal oxide compound with a spin gap, were studied at low temperatures. In the temperature interval 0.4<T<3.2 K, the thermal conductivity of a single crystal sample in the ab plane varies according to the power law κ∝T 2.73. As the temperature increases further, a deep minimum is observed in the region of T min≈9.8 K. This behavior is explained by the scattering of phonons—the major heat carriers—on the fluctuations of the spin subsystem. 相似文献

In this paper we study the quantum phase transition in a three-dimensional XY model with single-ion anisotropy D and spin S=1. The low D phase is studied using the self consistent harmonic approximation, and the large D phase using the bond operator formalism. We calculate the critical value of the anisotropy parameter where a transition occurs from the large-D phase to the Néel phase. We present the behavior of the energy gap, in the large-D phase, as a function of the temperature. In the large D region, a longitudinal magnetic field induces a phase transition from the singlet to the antiferromagnetic state, and then from the AFM one to the paramagnetic state. 相似文献

By using the density matrix renormalization group technique, the quantum phase transitions in the frustrated Majumdar-Ghosh model are investigated. The behaviors of the conventional order parameter and the quantum entanglement entropy are analyzed in detail. The order parameter is found to peak at J2∼0.58, but not at the Majumdar-Ghosh point (J2=0.5). Although, the quantum entanglements calculated with different subsystems display dissimilarly, the extremes of their first derivatives approach to the same critical point. By finite size scaling, this quantum critical point JC2 converges to around 0.301 in the thermodynamic limit, which is consistent with those predicted previously by some authors (Tonegawa and Harada, 1987 [6]; Kuboki and Fukuyama, 1987 [7]; Chitra et al., 1995 [9]). Across the JC2, the system undergoes a quantum phase transition from a gapless spin-fluid phase to a gapped dimerized phase. 相似文献

The giant natural optical activity of vibronic replicas of the f–f 5 I 8 → 5 F 2 transition in HoAl3(BO3)4 is observed. It exceeds the optical activity related to purely electronic transitions by two orders of magnitude and corresponds to the almost complete circular polarization of the transitions. This effect is explained by the local distortions of the crystal in the excited electronic state, which lead to the mixing of electron and vibrational wavefunctions and, as a consequence, to the delocalization of the vibronic wavefunction and the enhancement of spatial dispersion, which is responsible for the optical activity. 相似文献

The ground state spin-wave excitations and thermodynamic properties of two types of ferrimagnetic chains are investigated: the alternating spin-1/2 spin-5/2 chain and a similar chain with a spin-1/2 pendant attached to the spin-5/2 site. Results for magnetic susceptibility, magnetization and specific heat are obtained through the finite-temperature Lanczos method with the aim of describing the available experimental data, as well as comparison with theoretical results from the semiclassical approximation and the low-temperature susceptibility expansion derived from Takahashi's modified spin-wave theory. In particular, we study in detail the temperature versus magnetic field phase diagram of the spin-1/2 spin-5/2 chain, in which several low-temperature quantum phases are identified: the Luttinger liquid phase, the ferrimagnetic plateau and the fully polarized phase, and the respective quantum critical points and crossover lines. 相似文献
