Quantum spin liquid states

Y Zhou, K Kanoda, TK Ng - Reviews of Modern Physics, 2017 - APS
This is an introductory review of the physics of quantum spin liquid states. Quantum
magnetism is a rapidly evolving field, and recent developments reveal that the ground states …

Quantum magnetism in minerals

DS Inosov - Advances in Physics, 2018 - Taylor & Francis
The discovery of magnetism by the ancient Greeks was enabled by the natural occurrence of
lodestone–a magnetized version of the mineral magnetite. Nowadays, natural minerals …

Spin liquid nature in the Heisenberg triangular antiferromagnet

Y Iqbal, WJ Hu, R Thomale, D Poilblanc, F Becca - Physical Review B, 2016 - APS
We investigate the spin-1 2 Heisenberg model on the triangular lattice in the presence of
nearest-neighbor J 1 and next-nearest-neighbor J 2 antiferromagnetic couplings. Motivated …

Classification of time-reversal-invariant crystals with gauge structures

ZY Chen, Z Zhang, SA Yang, YX Zhao - Nature Communications, 2023 - nature.com
A peculiar feature of quantum states is that they may embody so-called projective
representations of symmetries rather than ordinary representations. Projective …

Spinful Topological Phases in Acoustic Crystals with Projective Symmetry

Y Meng, S Lin, B Shi, B Wei, L Yang, B Yan, Z Zhu… - Physical Review Letters, 2023 - APS
For the classification of topological phases of matter, an important consideration is whether a
system is spinless or spinful, as these two classes have distinct symmetry algebra that gives …

Noncoplanar orders and quantum disordered states in maple-leaf antiferromagnets

M Gembé, L Gresista, HJ Schmidt, C Hickey, Y Iqbal… - Physical Review B, 2024 - APS
A promising route towards the realization of chiral spin liquids is the quantum melting of
classically noncoplanar spin states via quantum fluctuations. In the classical realm, such …

Chiral spin liquid and quantum criticality in extended Heisenberg models on the triangular lattice

A Wietek, AM Läuchli - Physical Review B, 2017 - APS
We investigate the J 1-J 2 Heisenberg model on the triangular lattice with an additional
scalar chirality term and show that a chiral spin liquid is stabilized in a sizable region of the …

Pinwheel valence bond crystal ground state of the spin- Heisenberg antiferromagnet on the shuriken lattice

N Astrakhantsev, F Ferrari, N Niggemann, T Müller… - Physical review B, 2021 - APS
We investigate the nature of the ground state of the spin-1 2 Heisenberg antiferromagnet on
the shuriken lattice by complementary state-of-the-art numerical techniques, such as …

Global phase diagram and quantum spin liquids in a spin- triangular antiferromagnet

SS Gong, W Zhu, JX Zhu, DN Sheng, K Yang - Physical Review B, 2017 - APS
We study the spin-1/2 Heisenberg model on the triangular lattice with the nearest-neighbor J
1> 0, the next-nearest-neighobr J 2> 0 Heisenberg interactions, and the additional scalar …

Pinch-points to half-moons and up in the stars: The kagome skymap

D Kiese, F Ferrari, N Astrakhantsev, N Niggemann… - Physical Review …, 2023 - APS
Pinch point singularities, associated with flat band magnetic excitations, are tell-tale
signatures of Coulomb spin liquids. While their properties in the presence of quantum …
