High-Order Coupled Cluster Method (CCM) Calculations for Quantum Magnets with Valence-Bond Ground States
In this article, we prove that exact representations of dimer and plaquette
valence-bond ket ground states for quantum Heisenberg antiferromagnets may be
formed via the usual coupled cluster method (CCM) from independent-spin product
(e.g. N\'eel) model states. We show that we are able to provide good results
for both the ground-state energy and the sublattice magnetization for dimer and
plaquette valence-bond phases within the CCM. As a first example, we
investigate the spin-half -- model for the linear chain, and we show
that we are able to reproduce exactly the dimerized ground (ket) state at
. The dimerized phase is stable over a range of values for
around 0.5. We present evidence of symmetry breaking by considering
the ket- and bra-state correlation coefficients as a function of . We
then consider the Shastry-Sutherland model and demonstrate that the CCM can
span the correct ground states in both the N\'eel and the dimerized phases.
Finally, we consider a spin-half system with nearest-neighbor bonds for an
underlying lattice corresponding to the magnetic material CaVO (CAVO).
We show that we are able to provide excellent results for the ground-state
energy in each of the plaquette-ordered, N\'eel-ordered, and dimerized regimes
of this model. The exact plaquette and dimer ground states are reproduced by
the CCM ket state in their relevant limits.Comment: 34 pages, 13 figures, 2 table
Frustrated honeycomb-bilayer Heisenberg antiferromagnet: The spin-½ <i>J</i><sub>1</sub>- <i>J</i><sub>2</sub>-<i>J</i><sub>1</sub><sup>⊥</sup> model
We use the coupled cluster method to study the zero-temperature quantum phase diagram of the spin-½ J1-J2-J1⊥ model on the honeycomb bilayer lattice. In each layer, we include both nearest-neighbor and frustrating next-nearest-neighbor antiferromagnetic exchange couplings, of strength J1 > 0 and J2 ≡ κJ1 > 0, respectively. The two layers are coupled by an interlayer nearest-neighbor exchange, with coupling constant J1⊥≡ δJ1 > 0. We calculate directly in the infinite-lattice limit both the ground-state energy per spin and the Néel magnetic order parameter, as well as the triplet spin gap. By implementing the method to very high orders of approximation we obtain an accurate estimate for the full boundary of the Néel phase in the κδ plane. For each value δ < δc> (0) ≈1.70(5), we find an upper critical value κc(δ), such that Néel order is present for κ < κc(δ). Conversely, for each value κ < κc (0) ≈ 0.19(1), we find an upper critical value δc>(κ), such that Néel order persists for 0 < δ < δc>(κ). Most interestingly, for values of κ in the range κc(0) < κ < κ> ≈ 0.215(2), we find a reentrant behavior such that Néel order exists only in the range δc<(κ) < δ < δc>(κ), with δc<(κ) > 0. These latter upper and lower critical values coalesce when κ = κ>, such that δc<(κ>) = δc> (κ>) ≈ 0.25(5)
A frustrated quantum spin-{\boldmath s} model on the Union Jack lattice with spins {\boldmath s>1/2}
The zero-temperature phase diagrams of a two-dimensional frustrated quantum
antiferromagnetic system, namely the Union Jack model, are studied using the
coupled cluster method (CCM) for the two cases when the lattice spins have spin
quantum number and . The system is defined on a square lattice and
the spins interact via isotropic Heisenberg interactions such that all
nearest-neighbour (NN) exchange bonds are present with identical strength
, and only half of the next-nearest-neighbour (NNN) exchange bonds are
present with identical strength . The bonds are
arranged such that on the unit cell they form the pattern of the
Union Jack flag. Clearly, the NN bonds by themselves (viz., with )
produce an antiferromagnetic N\'{e}el-ordered phase, but as the relative
strength of the frustrating NNN bonds is increased a phase transition
occurs in the classical case () at to a canted ferrimagnetic phase. In the quantum cases considered
here we also find strong evidence for a corresponding phase transition between
a N\'{e}el-ordered phase and a quantum canted ferrimagnetic phase at a critical
coupling for and for . In both cases the ground-state energy and its first
derivative seem continuous, thus providing a typical scenario of a
second-order phase transition at , although the order
parameter for the transition (viz., the average ground-state on-site
magnetization) does not go to zero there on either side of the transition.Comment: 1
The Extended Coupled Cluster Treatment of Correlations in Quantum Magnets
The spin-half XXZ model on the linear chain and the square lattice are
examined with the extended coupled cluster method (ECCM) of quantum many-body
theory. We are able to describe both the Ising-Heisenberg phase and the
XY-Heisenberg phase, starting from known wave functions in the Ising limit and
at the phase transition point between the XY-Heisenberg and ferromagnetic
phases, respectively, and by systematically incorporating correlations on top
of them. The ECCM yields good numerical results via a diagrammatic approach,
which makes the numerical implementation of higher-order truncation schemes
feasible. In particular, the best non-extrapolated coupled cluster result for
the sublattice magnetization is obtained, which indicates the employment of an
improved wave function. Furthermore, the ECCM finds the expected qualitatively
different behaviours of the linear chain and the square lattice cases.Comment: 22 pages, 3 tables, and 15 figure
Magnetic order in spin-1 and spin-3/2 interpolating square-triangle Heisenberg antiferromagnets
Using the coupled cluster method we investigate spin- -
Heisenberg antiferromagnets (HAFs) on an infinite, anisotropic, triangular
lattice when the spin quantum number or . With respect to a
square-lattice geometry the model has antiferromagnetic () bonds
between nearest neighbours and competing () bonds between
next-nearest neighbours across only one of the diagonals of each square
plaquette, the same one in each square. In a topologically equivalent
triangular-lattice geometry, we have two types of nearest-neighbour bonds:
namely the bonds along parallel chains and the
bonds producing an interchain coupling. The model thus interpolates
between an isotropic HAF on the square lattice at and a set of
decoupled chains at , with the isotropic HAF on the
triangular lattice in between at . For both the and the
models we find a second-order quantum phase transition at
and respectively,
between a N\'{e}el antiferromagnetic state and a helical state. In both cases
the ground-state energy and its first derivative are
continuous at , while the order parameter for the transition
(viz., the average on-site magnetization) does not go to zero on either side of
the transition. The transition at for both the and
cases is analogous to that observed in our previous work for the
case at a value . However, for the higher
spin values the transition is of continuous (second-order) type, as in the
classical case, whereas for the case it appears to be weakly
first-order in nature (although a second-order transition could not be
excluded).Comment: 17 pages, 8 figues (Figs. 2-7 have subfigs. (a)-(d)
A Coupled-Cluster Formulation of Hamiltonian Lattice Field Theory: The Non-Linear Sigma Model
We apply the coupled cluster method (CCM) to the Hamiltonian version of the
latticised O(4) non-linear sigma model. The method, which was initially
developed for the accurate description of quantum many-body systems, gives rise
to two distinct approximation schemes. These approaches are compared with each
other as well as with some other Hamiltonian approaches. Our study of both the
ground state and collective excitations leads to indications of a possible
chiral phase transition as the lattice spacing is varied.Comment: 44 Pages, 14 figures. Uses Latex2e, graphicx, amstex and geometry

Charged Higgs bosons from the 3-3-1 models and the anomalies
Several anomalies in the semileptonic B-meson decays such as
have been reported by , Belle, and LHCb
collaborations recently. In this paper, we investigate the contributions of the
charged Higgs bosons from the 3-3-1 models to the
anomalies. We find that, in a wide range of parameter space, the 3-3-1 models
might give reasonable explanations to the anomalies and
other analogous anomalies of the B meson's semileptonic decays.Comment: Accpeted by Physical Review
