Destruction of valence-bond order in a sawtooth chain with a Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya term

Zhihao Hao, Yuan Wan, Ioannis Rousochatzakis +4

A small value of the spin gap in quantum antiferromagnets with strong frustration makes them susceptible to nominally small deviations from the ideal Heisenberg model. One of such…
