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 …

Spin liquids in frustrated magnets

L Balents - nature, 2010 - nature.com
Frustrated magnets are materials in which localized magnetic moments, or spins, interact
through competing exchange interactions that cannot be simultaneously satisfied, giving rise …

Fractionalized excitations in the spin-liquid state of a kagome-lattice antiferromagnet

TH Han, JS Helton, S Chu, DG Nocera… - Nature, 2012 - nature.com
The experimental realization of quantum spin liquids is a long-sought goal in physics, as
they represent new states of matter. Quantum spin liquids cannot be described by the …

Spin-Liquid Ground State of the S = 1/2 Kagome Heisenberg Antiferromagnet

S Yan, DA Huse, SR White - Science, 2011 - science.org
We use the density matrix renormalization group to perform accurate calculations of the
ground state of the nearest-neighbor quantum spin S= 1/2 Heisenberg antiferromagnet on …

Nature of the Spin-Liquid Ground State of the Heisenberg Model on the Kagome Lattice

S Depenbrock, IP McCulloch, U Schollwöck - Physical review letters, 2012 - APS
We perform a density-matrix renormalization group (DMRG) study of the S= 1 2 Heisenberg
antiferromagnet on the kagome lattice to identify the conjectured spin liquid ground state …

Ultracold atoms in a tunable optical kagome lattice

commensurate triangular optical lattices generated by light at the wavelengths of 532 and …

Kagomé-and triangular-lattice Heisenberg antiferromagnets: Ordering from quantum fluctuations and quantum-disordered ground states with unconfined bosonic …

S Sachdev - Physical Review B, 1992 - APS
The kagome-lattice quantum Heisenberg antiferromagnet is studied by a large-N expansion
based upon groups with symplectic Sp (N) symmetry. Two distinct types of ground states are …

Spin Dynamics of the Spin- Kagome Lattice Antiferromagnet

We have performed thermodynamic and neutron scattering measurements on the S= 1/2
kagomé lattice antiferromagnet ZnCu 3 (OH) 6 Cl 2. The susceptibility indicates a Curie …

Colloquium: Herbertsmithite and the search for the quantum spin liquid

MR Norman - Reviews of Modern Physics, 2016 - APS
Quantum spin liquids form a novel class of matter where, despite the existence of strong
exchange interactions, spins do not order down to the lowest measured temperature …

Projected-Wave-Function Study of the Spin- Heisenberg Model on the Kagomé Lattice

Y Ran, M Hermele, PA Lee, XG Wen - Physical review letters, 2007 - APS
We perform a Gutzwiller projected-wave-function study for the spin-1/2 Heisenberg model
on the Kagomé lattice to compare energies of several spin-liquid states. The result indicates …
