Phase diagram of the spin-1 Heisenberg model with three-site interactions on the square lattice

F. Michaud, F. Mila

We study the spin S=1 antiferromagnetic Heisenberg model on the square lattice with, in addition to the nearest-neighbor interaction, a three-site interaction of the form (S_i S_j)…

Exact Ground States of Frustrated Spin-1 Ising-Heisenberg and Heisenberg Ladders in a Magnetic Field

Jozef Strecka, Frederic Michaud, Frederic Mila

Ground states of the frustrated spin-1 Ising-Heisenberg two-leg ladder with Heisenberg intra-rung coupling and only Ising interaction along legs and diagonals are rigorously found…

Berry phase investigation of spin-S ladders

Natalia Chepiga, Frédéric Michaud, Frédéric Mila

We investigate the properties of antiferromagnetic spin-S ladders with the help of local Berry phases defined by imposing a twist on one or a few local bonds. In gapped systems wit…

Realization of higher Wess-Zumino-Witten models in spin chains

Frédéric Michaud, Salvatore R. Manmana, Frédéric Mila

Building on the generalization of the exactly dimerized Majumdar-Ghosh ground state to arbitrary spin S for the Heisenberg chain with a three-site term (S_{i-1} S_i)(S_i S_{i+1}) +…

Intermediate magnetization plateaus in the spin-1/2 Ising-Heisenberg and Heisenberg models on two-dimensional triangulated lattices

Jana Cisarova, Frederic Michaud, Frederic Mila +1

The ground state and zero-temperature magnetization process of the spin-1/2 Ising-Heisenberg model on two-dimensional triangles-in-triangles lattices is exactly calculated using ei…

Antiferromagnetic spin-S chains with exactly dimerized ground states

Frédéric Michaud, François Vernay, Salvatore R. Manmana +1

We show that spin S Heisenberg spin chains with an additional three-body interaction of the form (S_{i-1}S_{i})(S_{i}S_{i+1})+h.c. possess fully dimerized ground states if the rati…

Theory of inelastic light scattering in spin-1 systems: resonant regimes and detection of quadrupolar order

Frédéric Michaud, François Vernay, Frédéric Mila

Motivated by the lack of an obvious spectroscopic probe to investigate non-conventional order such as quadrupolar orders in spin S>1/2 systems, we present a theoretical approach to…

Frustration induced plateaux in S>=1/2 Heisenberg spin ladders

F. Michaud, T. Coletta, S. R. Manmana +2

We study the T = 0 magnetization of frustrated two-leg spin ladders with arbitrary value of the spin S. In the strong rung limit, we use degenerate perturbation theory to prove tha…
