Abstract
Magnetic properties of the spin-1/2 XXZ Heisenberg cuboctahedron are examined using exact numerical diagonalization depending on a relative strength of the exchange anisotropy. While the Ising cuboctahedron exhibits in a low-temperature magnetization curve only one-third magnetization plateau, the XXZ Heisenberg cuboctahedron displays another four intermediate plateaux at zero, one-sixth, one-half and two-thirds of the saturation magnetization. The novel magnetization plateaux generally extend over a wider range of magnetic fields with increasing of a quantum () part of the XXZ exchange interaction. It is shown that the XXZ Heisenberg cuboctahedron exhibits in a vicinity of all magnetization jumps anomalous thermodynamic behavior accompanied with an enhanced magnetocaloric effect.
