Spin-$1$ $J_1-J_2-J_3$ ferromagnetic Heisenberg model with an easy-plane crystal field on the cubic lattice: A bosonic approach

Abstract

We examine the phase diagram of the spin-$1$ $J_1-J_2-J_3$ ferromagnetic Heisenberg model with an easy-plane crystal field on the cubic lattice, in which $J_1$ is the ferromagnetic exchange interaction between nearest neighbors, $J_2$ is the antiferromagnetic exchange interaction between next-nearest neighbors and $J_3$ is the antiferromagnetic exchange interaction between next-next-nearest neighbors. Using the bond-operator formalism, we investigate the phase transitions between the disordered paramagnetic phase and the ordered ones. We show that the nature of the quantum phase transitions change as the frustration parameters ($\frac{J_2}{J_1}$, $\frac{J_3}{J_1}$) are varied. The zero-temperature phase diagram exhibits second- and first-order transitions, depending on the energy gap behavior. Remarkably, we find a disordered nonmagnetic phase, even in the absence of a crystal field, which is suggested to be a quantum spin liquid candidate. We also depict the phase diagram at finite temperature for some values of crystal field and frustration parameters.
