Bose-Einstein condensation in honeycomb dimer magnets and $\mathrm{Y}{\mathrm{b}}_2\mathrm{S}{\mathrm{i}}_2{\mathrm{O}}_7$

Abstract

An asymmetric Bose-Einstein condensation (BEC) dome was observed in a recent experiment on the quantum dimer magnet $\mathrm{Y}{\mathrm{b}}_2\mathrm{S}{\mathrm{i}}_2{\mathrm{O}}_7$, which is modeled by a "breathing" honeycomb lattice Heisenberg model with possible anisotropies. We report a remarkable agreement between key experimental features and predictions from numerical simulations of the magnetic model. Both critical fields, as well as critical temperatures of the BEC dome, can be accurately captured, as well as the occurrence of two regimes inside the BEC phase. Furthermore, we investigate the role of anisotropies in the exchange coupling and the $g$-tensor. While we confirm a previous proposal that anisotropy can induce a zero temperature phase transition at magnetic fields smaller than the fully polarizing field strength, we find that this effect becomes negligible at temperatures above the anisotropy scale. Instead, the two regimes inside the BEC dome are found to be due to a non-linear magnetization behavior of the isotropic breathing honeycomb Heisenberg antiferromagnet. Our analysis is performed by combining the density matrix renormalization group (DMRG) method with the finite-temperature techniques of minimally entangled typical thermal states (METTS) and quantum Monte Carlo (QMC).
