Spin nematic states in antiferromagnets containing ferromagnetic bonds

Abstract

The majority of recent works devoted to spin nematic phases deal with either frustrated magnets or with those described by Hamiltonians with large non-Heisenberg terms. We show in the present study that nonfrustrated antiferromagnets (AFs) containing ferromagnetic (FM) bonds can show nematic phases in a strong magnetic field. Among the particular spin systems discussed are a ladder with FM rungs, two AF layers coupled ferromagnetically, a chain containing alternating AF and FM bonds, and an AF anisotropic spin-1 chain.
