Frustration effects in antiferromagnetic molecules: the cuboctahedron

نویسنده

  • Jürgen Schnack
چکیده

Frustration of magnetic systems which is caused by competing interactions is the driving force of several unusual phenomena such as plateaus and jumps of the magnetization curve as well as of unusual energy spectra with for instance many singlet levels below the first triplet state. The antiferromagnetic cuboctahedron can serve as a paradigmatic example of certain frustrated antiferromagnets. In addition it has the advantage that its complete energy spectrum can be obtained up to individual spin quantum numbers of s = 3/2 (16,777,216 states).

Frustration effects inmagneticmolecules

By means of exact diagonalization we study the ground-state and the low-temperature physics of the Heisenberg antiferromagnet on the cuboctahedron and the icosidodecahedron. Both are frustrated magnetic polytopes and correspond to the arrangement of magnetic atoms in the magnetic molecules Cu12La8 and Mo72Fe30. The interplay of strong quantum fluctuations and frustration influences the ground s...

بسط دمای بالای پذیرفتاری مدل آیزینگ شبکه کاگومه با برهم‌کنش نزدیکترین همسایه‌ها

 The Ising model is one of the simplest models describing the interacting particles. In this work, we calculate the high temperature series expansions of zero field susceptibility of ising model with ferromagnetic, antiferromagnetic and one antiferromagnetic interactions on two dimensional kagome lattice. Using the Pade´ approximation, we calculate the susceptibility of critical exponent of fer...

Step-induced frustration of antiferromagnetic order in Mn on Fe(001).

We studied the spin arrangement in ultrathin antiferromagnetic Mn films in contact with a ferromagnetic Fe(001) substrate using spin-polarized scanning tunneling microscopy. Mn shows a layerwise antiferromagnetic order on Fe(001). In regions where Mn overgrows Fe steps, a frustration of the antiferromagnetic order occurs which is similar to a 180 degrees domain wall. This topologically enforced...

Antiferromagnetic Metal and Mott Transition on Shastry-Sutherland Lattice

The Shastry-Sutherland lattice, one of the simplest systems with geometrical frustration, which has an exact eigenstate by putting singlets on diagonal bonds, can be realized in a group of layered compounds and raises both theoretical and experimental interest. Most of the previous studies on the Shastry-Sutherland lattice are focusing on the Heisenberg model. Here we opt for the Hubbard model ...

Disorder in Rare Earth Metal Halide Carbide Nitrides

Structural frustration in a rod packing exhibits analogy to frustration effects in antiferromagnetic systems. Like the spins in a triangular Ising net, rods with periodic contour may arrange randomly. Such frustration effects are observed in rare earth metal carbide nitride halides composed of C2 centered RE6 octahedra and N centered RE4 tetrahedra. These can be connected in varying sequences t...
