Weakly anisotropic frustrated zigzag spin chain

Anisotropic susceptibility of the geometrically frustrated spin-chain compound Ca3Co2O6

Ca3Co2O6 is a system exhibiting a series of fascinating properties, including magnetization plateaus and remarkably slow dynamics at low-T . These properties are intimately related to the geometrical frustration, which results from a particular combination of features: (i) the chains are arranged on a triangular lattice; (ii) there is a large uniaxial anisotropy; (iii) the intrachain and interc...

Spin-stripe phase in a frustrated zigzag spin-1/2 chain

Motifs of periodic modulations are encountered in a variety of natural systems, where at least two rival states are present. In strongly correlated electron systems, such behaviour has typically been associated with competition between short- and long-range interactions, for example, between exchange and dipole-dipole interactions in the case of ferromagnetic thin films. Here we show that spin-...

Title Chiral Spin Liquid in a Frustrated Anisotropic Kagome

Ground-State Phase Diagram of Frustrated Anisotropic Quantum Spin Chains

The low-energy properties of one-dimensional quantum spin systems with frustrating interactions have been studied extensively for many years. This is mainly because they exhibit a variety of ground-state phases accompanied with various types of spontaneous symmetry breaking, e.g., the dimer phase with the translational symmetry breaking. More recently novel phases have been found in the ground ...

Spin gapped behavior of a frustrated delta chain compound euchroite

We find Cu2(AsO4)(OH)·3H2O (euchroite) is a model compound for the frustrated delta chain which is composed of corner-sharing triangles. Magnetic susceptibility, specific heat, high field magnetization and H-NMR measurements are carried out using natural mineral samples of euchroite to study magnetic properties. Large spin gap of about 100 K is shown to be presented in this compound. ∗Present a...
