Self-organised magnon condensation in quasi-1D edge-shared cuprates without external fields
arXiv:2410.00734 · doi:10.1103/gx4w-3rvh
Abstract
Multimagnon bound states were predicted nearly a century ago and have since been a key topic in condensed matter physics due to their intriguing quantum properties. However, their realization in natural materials remains elusive, especially in low-dimensional quantum magnets, where stabilizing them is particularly challenging due to the traditionally required extreme external magnetic fields. Therefore, we introduce a novel mechanism that enables the stabilization of multimagnon bound states in quasi-one-dimensional edge-shared cuprates. Our theoretical framework, supported by numerical simulations and experimental data, demonstrates that small antiferromagnetic interchain couplings act as effective internal magnetic fields, promoting a collinear antiferromagnetic order and enabling magnon condensation even at zero external field. This intrinsic stabilisation mechanism eliminates the need for high external fields, offering a platform that is more accessible for experimental realization. We validate this concept by applying it to representative materials such as LiCuO, CaYCuO, LiCuSbO, and PbCuSO(OH). Beyond its experimental feasibility, this mechanism could drive advancements in magnon-based quantum computing, low-power spintronic devices, and high-speed magnonic circuits. Moreover, our findings reveal that small interchain and/or interlayer couplings can generally unlock previously overlooked magnetic phenomena, redefining the nature of magnetically ordered states and expanding the frontiers of quantum magnetism.
