Plaquette Ordering in SU(4) Antiferromagnets

چکیده
We use fermion mean field theory to study possible plaquette ordering in the antiferromagnetic SU(4) Heisenberg model. We find the ground state for both the square and triangular lattices to be the disconnected plaquette state. Our mean field theory gives a first order transition for plaquette ordering for the triangular lattice. Our results suggest a large number of low lying states.

Quantum phase transition in the Plaquette lattice with anisotropic spin exchange
I study the influence of anisotropic spin exchange on a quantum phase transition in the Plaquette lattice driven by the purely quantum effect of singlet formation. I study the influence of i) a Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya exchange and ii) four spin exchange on the transition point by evaluating spin–spin correlations and the spin gap with exact diagonalization. The results point to a stabilization of...
متن کاملExact spontaneous plaquette ground states for high-spin ladder models
We study the exchange physics in high-spin Mott insulating systems with S=3/2 which is realizable in ultracold atomic systems. The high symmetry of SO 5 or SU 4 therein renders stronger quantum fluctuations than the usual spin-1 /2 systems. A spontaneous plaquette ground state without any site and bond spin orders is rigorously proved in a ladder spin-3 /2 model, whose topological excitations e...
متن کاملResonating plaquette phases in SU(4) Heisenberg antiferromagnet
Large spin cold atom systems can exhibit magnetic properties that do not appear in usual spin-1 /2 systems. We investigate the SU 4 resonating plaquette state in the three-dimensional cubic optical lattice with spin-3 /2 cold fermions. A gauge field formalism is constructed to describe the Rokhsar–Kivelson type of Hamiltonian and a duality transformation is used to study the phase diagram. Due ...
متن کاملPlaquette expectation value and lattice free energy of three - dimensional SU ( N c ) gauge theory
We use high precision lattice simulations to calculate the plaquette expectation value in three-dimensional SU(Nc) gauge theory for Nc = 2, 3, 4, 5, 8. Using these results, we study the Nc-dependence of the first non-perturbative coefficient in the weak-coupling expansion of hot QCD. We demonstrate that, in the limit of large Nc, the functional form of the plaquette expectation value with ultra...
متن کاملAshkin-Teller criticality and weak first-order behavior of the phase transition to a fourfold degenerate state in two-dimensional frustrated Ising antiferromagnets.
We study the thermal phase transition of the fourfold degenerate phases (the plaquette and single-stripe states) in the two-dimensional frustrated Ising model on the Shastry-Sutherland lattice using Monte Carlo simulations. The critical Ashkin-Teller-like behavior is identified both in the plaquette phase region and the single-stripe phase region. The four-state Potts critical end points differ...
