Low-lying spin-wave spectrum of the triangular anti-ferromagnet: A finite-size study

Publication: Canadian Journal of Physics
December 2001

Abstract

We developed a finite-size spin-wave calculation on the Heisenberg anti-ferromagnet on the triangular lattice, which, to order 1/s, favors a singlet (for an even number of sites) ground state. Furthermore, we implement the computation of the low-energy excitation spectrum E (S) where S is the total spin. For s=1/2, the good agreement with the exact diagonalization and quantum Monte Carlo results strengthens the validity of the spin-wave expansion to describe the low-energy spin excitations of the Heisenberg model even in the presence of frustration.
PACS No.: 75.10-b

Résumé

Nous présentons un calcul d'ondes de spin de dimension finie dans le modèle antiferromagnétique de Heisenberg sur réseau triangulaire qui, à l'ordre 1/s, favorise un fondamental singulet (pour un nombre pair de sites). De plus, nous calculons le spectre d'excitation de basse énergie E (S) où S est le spin total. Pour s = 1/2, le bon accord avec les résultats de la diagonalisation exacte et de la méthode Monte Carlo renforce la validité de l'expansion en ondes de spin pour décrire les excitations de basse énergie du modèle de Heisenberg en présence de frustration.
