Magnetization Process of the Spin-S Kagome-Lattice Heisenberg Antiferromagnet

arXiv:1505.04853 · doi:10.7566/JPSJ.84.063705

Abstract

The magnetization process of the spin-S Heisenberg antiferromagnet on the kagome lattice is studied by the numerical-diagonalization method. Our numerical-diagonalization data for small finite-size clusters with S=1, 3/2, 2, and 5/2 suggest that a magnetization plateau appears at one-third of the height of the saturation in the magnetization process irrespective of S. We discuss the S dependences of the edge fields and the width of the plateau in comparison with recent results obtained by real-space perturbation theory.
