Theoretical Analysis of the Reduction of Neel Temperature in La(CuZn(or Mg)O
Using Tyablikov's decoupling approximation, we calculate the initial
suppression rate of the Neel temperature, , in a quasi two-dimensional diluted Heisenberg antiferromagnet with
nonmagnetic impurities of concentration . In order to explain an
experimental fact that of the Zn-substitution is different
from of the Mg-substitution, we propose a model in which
impurity substitution reduces the intra-plane exchange couplings surrounding
impurities, as well as dilution of spin systems. The decrease of 12% in
exchange coupling constants by Zn substitution and decrease of 6% by Mg
substitution explain those two experimental results, when an appropriate value
of the interplane coupling is used.Comment: 2 pages, 3 figure
Instability of isolated triplet excitations on the Shastry-Sutherland lattice (SSL)
Configurations of singlets and triplets on the SSL have been proposed in the
literature as variational ground states of the Shastry-Sutherland model at
fixed magnetization M. We prove, that isolated triplet excitations on the SSL
are unstable if the coupling alpha falls below a critical value alpha_c=2.0
(approx.). The instability should be visible in the compound SrCu_2(BO_3)_2
where a coupling alpha^*=1.48 is realized.Comment: 4 pages, 4 figures, RevTe
Numerical Study of Excited States in the Shastry-Sutherland Model
We investigate excited states of the Shastry-Sutherland model using a kind of
variational method. Starting from various trial states which include one or two
triplet dimers, we numerically pursue the best evaluation of the energy for
each set of quantum numbers. We present the energy difference as a function of
either the coupling ratio or the momentum and compare them with the
perturbative calculations. Our data suggest that the helical order phase exists
between the singlet dimer phase and the magnetically ordered phase. In
comparison with the experimental data we can estimate the intra-dimer coupling
J and the inter-dimer coupling J' for
SrCu2(BO3)2 : J'/J =0.65 and J = 87K.Comment: 15pages, 5figures to be published in JPS
