Abstract

We study the zero-temperature phase diagram of the -- Heisenberg model for spin-1 particles on an infinite square lattice interacting via nearest-neighbour () and next-nearest-neighbour () bonds. Both bonds have the same -type anisotropy in spin space. The effects on the quasiclassical Néel-ordered and collinear stripe-ordered states of varying the anisotropy parameter is investigated using the coupled cluster method carried out to high orders. By contrast with the spin-1/2 case studied previously, we predict no intermediate disordered phase between the Néel and collinear stripe phases, for any value of the frustration , for either the -aligned () or -planar-aligned () states. The quantum phase transition is determined to be first-order for all values of and . The position of the phase boundary is determined accurately. It is observed to deviate most from its classical position (for all values of ) at the Heisenberg isotropic point (), where . By contrast, at the XY isotropic point (), we find . In the Ising limit () as expected.
