Emergence of a Dimer-Dimer Interaction in the Low-Energy Effective Quantum-Dimer Model of a Diamond-Like-Decorated Square-Lattice Heisenberg Antiferromagnets with Further Neighbor Couplings

Abstract

We study spin-1/2 Heisenberg antiferromagnets on a diamond-like-decorated square lattice perturbed by two kinds of further neighbor couplings. In our previous study [J. Phys. Soc. Jpn. 85, 094002 (2016)], the second-order effective Hamiltonian for the Heisenberg model perturbed by a further neighbor coupling was found to be a square-lattice quantum-dimer model with a finite hopping amplitude, t>0, and no dimer-dimer interaction, v=0. In this study, we introduce another kind of further neighbor coupling and show that it leads to an attractive interaction between dimers, which suggests the stabilization of the columnar phase of the square-lattice quantum-dimer model. The calculated v/t is presented as a function of the ratio of the two exchange parameters in the Heisenberg model.
