Magnetic order in a spin-1/2 interpolating kagome-square Heisenberg antiferromagnet

arXiv:1005.0526 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevB.82.104406

Abstract

The coupled cluster method is applied to a spin-half model at zero temperature (), which interpolates between Heisenberg antiferromagnets (HAF's) on a kagome and a square lattice. With respect to an underlying triangular lattice the strengths of the Heisenberg bonds joining the nearest-neighbor (NN) kagome sites are along two of the equivalent directions and along the third. Sites connected by bonds are themselves connected to the missing NN non-kagome sites of the triangular lattice by bonds of strength . When and the model reduces to the square-lattice HAF. The magnetic ordering of the system is investigated and its phase diagram discussed. Results for the kagome HAF limit are among the best available.
