Confinement and deconfinement of spinons in a frustrated spin-1/2 Heisenberg model
In this publication I discuss the phase diagram of a frustrated spin-1/2
Heisenberg model suggested in A. A. Nersesyan and A. M. Tsvelik, Phys. Rev.
B{\bf 67}, 024422 (2003). The phase diagram contains and
antiferromagnetic phases separated by the Valence Bond Crystal (VBC) state. I
argue that the point of the phase diagram with deconfined spinons, predicted in
the aforementioned work, is situated in the middle of VBC state, at the point
where the dimerization order parameter changes sign.Comment: 13 pages, 5 figures; an important reference and some explanations
