Magnetic-field-induced transition in BaVS3
The metal-insulator transition (MIT) of BaVS3 is suppressed under pressure
and above the critical pressure of p~2GPa the metallic phase is stabilized. We
present the results of detailed magnetoresistivity measurements carried out at
pressures near the critical value, in magnetic fields up to B=12T. We found
that slightly below the critical pressure the structural tetramerization --
which drives the MIT -- is combined with the onset of magnetic correlations. If
the zero-field transition temperature is suppressed to a sufficiently low value
(T_MI<15K), the system can be driven into the metallic state by application of
magnetic field. The main effect is not the reduction of T_MI with increasing B,
but rather the broadening of the transition due to the applied magnetic field.
We tentatively ascribe this phenomenon to the influence on the magnetic
structure coupled to the bond-order of the tetramers.Comment: 5 pages, 5 figure
Quantum Disordered Ground States in Frustrated Antiferromagnets with Multiple Ring Exchange Interactions
We present a certain class of two-dimensional frustrated quantum Heisenberg
spin systems with multiple ring exchange interactions which are rigorously
demonstrated to have quantum disordered ground states without magnetic
long-range order. The systems considered in this paper are s=1/2
antiferromagnets on a honeycomb and square lattices, and an s=1 antiferromagnet
on a triangular lattice. We find that for a particular set of parameter values,
the ground state is a short-range resonating valence bond state or a valence
bond crystal state. It is shown that these systems are closely related to the
quantum dimer model introduced by Rokhsar and Kivelson as an effective
low-energy theory for valence bond states.Comment: 6 pages, 4 figure
The electronic structure and the phases of BaVS3
BaVS3 is a moderately correlated d-electron system with a rich phase diagram.
To construct the corresponding minimal electronic model, one has to decide
which d-states are occupied, and to which extent. The ARPES experiment
presented here shows that the behavior of BaVS3 is governed by the coexistence
of wide-band (A_1g) and narrow-band (twofold degenerate E) d-electrons. We
sketch a lattice fermion model which may serve as a minimal model of BaVS3.
This serves foremost for the understanding of the metal-insulator in pure BaVS3
and its absence in some related compounds. The nature of the low temperature
magnetic order differs for several systems which may be described in terms of
the same electron model. We describe several recent experiments which give
information about magnetic order at high pressures. In particular, we discuss
field-induced insulator-to-metal transition at slightly subcritical pressures,
and an evidence for magnetic order in the high-pressure metallic phase. The
phase diagram of Sr-doped BaVS3 is also discussed. The complexity of the phases
of BaVS3 arises from the fact that it is simultaneously unstable against
several kinds of instabilities.Comment: Presented at the International Conference on Magnetism 2006 (Kyoto),
