A Z spin-orbital liquid state in the square lattice Kugel-Khomskii model
Fa Wang, Ashvin Vishwanath
We argue for the existence of a liquid ground state in a class of square lattice models of orbitally degenerate insulators. Starting with the SU(4) symmetric Kugel-Khomskii model,…
Spin phonon induced colinear order and magnetization plateaus in triangular and kagome antiferromagnets. Applications to CuFeO_2
Fa Wang, Ashvin Vishwanath
Coupling between spin and lattice degrees of freedom are important in geometrically frustrated magnets where they can lead to degeneracy lifting and novel orders. We show that mode…
Quantum and Classical Spins on the Spatially Distorted Kagome Lattice: Applications to Volborthite
Fa Wang, Ashvin Vishwanath, Yong Baek Kim
In Volborthite, spin-1/2 moments form a distorted Kagomé lattice, of corner sharing isosceles triangles with exchange constants on two bonds and on the third bond. We stud…
Spin Liquid States on the Triangular and Kagome Lattices: A Projective Symmetry Group Analysis of Schwinger Boson States
Fa Wang, Ashvin Vishwanath
A symmetry based analysis (Projective Symmetry Group) is used to study spin liquid phases on the triangular and Kagomé lattices in the Schwinger boson framework. A maximum of eight…
