Abstract
The ground state, the entropy and the magnetic Grüneisen parameter of the antiferromagnetic spin-1/2 Ising-Heisenberg model on a double sawtooth ladder are rigorously investigated using the classical transfer-matrix technique. The model includes the XXZ interaction between the interstitial Heisenberg dimers, the Ising coupling between nearest-neighbor spins of the legs and rungs, and additional cyclic four-spin Ising term in each square plaquette. For a particular value of the cyclic four-spin exchange we found in the ground-state phase diagram of the Ising Heisenberg ladder a quadruple point, at which four different ground states coexist together. During an adiabatic demagnetization process a fast cooling accompanied with an enhanced magnetocaloric effect can be detected nearby this quadruple point. The ground-state phase diagram of the Ising-Heisenberg ladder is confronted with the zero-temperature magnetization process of the purely quantum Heisenberg ladder, which is calculated by using exact diagonalization (ED) based on the Lanczos algorithm for a finite-size ladder of 24 spins and the density-matrix renormalization group (DMRG) simulations for a finite-size ladder with up to 96 spins. Some indications of existence of intermediate magnetization plateaus in the magnetization process of the full Heisenberg model for a small but non-zero four-spin Ising coupling were found. The DMRG results reveal that the quantum Heisenberg double sawtooth ladder exhibits a quantum Luttinger spin-liquid phase that is absent in the Ising-Heisenberg counterpart model. Except this difference the magnetic behavior of the full Heisenberg model is quite analogous to its simplified Ising-Heisenberg counterpart and hence, one may bring insight into the fully quantum Heisenberg model from rigorous results for the Ising-Heisenberg model.
