Possible coexistence of short-range resonating-valence-bond and long-range stripe correlations in the spatially anisotropic triangular-lattice quantum magnet Cu${}_2$(OH)${}_3$NO${}_3$

Long Yuan, Yuqian Zhao, Boqiang Li +5

We show that short-range resonating-valence-bond correlations and long-range order can coexist in the ground state (GS) of a frustrated spin system. Our study comprises a comprehen…
