Abstract

We study the ground-state (gs) phase diagram of the frustrated spin-1/2 -- antiferromagnet with () on the honeycomb lattice, using the coupled-cluster method. We present results for the ground-state energy, magnetic order parameter and plaquette valence-bond crystal (PVBC) susceptibility. We find a paramagnetic PVBC phase for , where and . The transition at to the Néel phase seems to be a continuous deconfined transition (although we cannot exclude a very narrow intermediate phase in the range ), while that at is of first-order type to another quasiclassical antiferromagnetic phase that occurs in the classical version of the model only at the isolated and highly degenerate critical point . The spiral phases that are present classically for all values are absent for all .
