Valence-bond crystal in a {111} slice of the pyrochlore antiferromagnet
Oleg Tchernyshyov, Hong Yao, R. Moessner
We investigate theoretically the ordering effect of quantum spin fluctuations in a Heisenberg antiferromagnet on a two-dimensional network of corner sharing tetrahedra. This networ…
On bipartite Rokhsar-Kivelson points and Cantor deconfinement
Eduardo Fradkin, David A. Huse, R. Moessner +2
Quantum dimer models on bipartite lattices exhibit Rokhsar-Kivelson (RK) points with exactly known critical ground states and deconfined spinons. We examine generic, weak, perturba…
Three dimensional resonating valence bond liquids and their excitations
R. Moessner, S. L. Sondhi
We show that there are two types of RVB liquid phases present in three-dimensional quantum dimer models, corresponding to the deconfining phases of U(1) and Z_2 gauge theories in d…
Theory of the [111] magnetization plateau in spin ice
R. Moessner, S. L. Sondhi
The application of a magnetic field along the [111] direction in the spin ice compounds leads to two magnetization plateaux, in the first of which the ground state entropy is reduc…
Interplay of quantum and thermal fluctuations in a frustrated magnet
S. V. Isakov, R. Moessner
We demonstrate the presence of an extended critical phase in the transverse field Ising magnet on the triangular lattice, in a regime where both thermal and quantum fluctuations ar…
Bond order from disorder in the planar pyrochlore magnet
O. Tchernyshyov, O. A. Starykh, R. Moessner +1
We study magnetic order in the Heisenberg antiferromagnet on the checkerboard lattice, a two-dimensional version of the pyrochlore network with strong geometric frustration. By emp…
