Triplet and Singlet Excitations in the Valence Bond Crystal Phase of Kagome Lattice Heisenberg Model

Abstract

A proposed ground state for the Kagome Lattice Heisenberg Model (KLHM) consists of a Valence Bond Crystal (VBC) with a 36-site unit cell. We calculate the low-lying triplet and singlet excitations in the VBC phase for the infinite-lattice model and for the 36-site cluster. For the infinite lattice, the lowest triplet excitation is found to have a spin gap of approximately $0.08\pm 0.02J$ and a bandwidth of only about $0.01J$. For the 36-site cluster, consisting of a single unit cell with periodic boundary conditions, there are substantial finite-size effects: the spin gap there is estimated to be approximately $0.2J$, close to the exact diagonalization result of $0.164J$. The triplet excitations attract one another and form many bound states in the spin-singlet channel. We find a large number of such bound states for the 36-site cluster, many of which appear to lie below the spin gap, again in agreement with the results from exact diagonalization.
