Teoria quântica de campos aplicada em Modelos de Spins Frustrados

Abstract

In this work we study the antiferromagnetic anisotropic Heisenberg spin-1 model with interactions between nearest neighbors (J1 along the rows and J01 along the columns) and between the next nearest neighbors (J2 along the diagonals) on a square lattice. We apply initially the method of linear spin wave theory (LSWT) to study the behavior of the quantum phase transition (T=0) and compare the results with qualitative values obtained for the model J1􀀀J01 􀀀J2, where we explore the two cases of spin-1/2 and spin-1. We analyse the phase diagram in the plane ( J01=J1) versus ( J2=J1). In the case of spin-1/2 the results are not satisfactory in the region of small value of , where disordered region is present for any value of in contradiction with other results available in the literature that present the disordered phase for > 1, whereas for < 1 we have absence of disordered phase with a phase transition of rst order direct between the phases antiferromagnetic (AF) e collinear antiferromagnetic (CAF). The AF state (Néelstate) is characterized by spins oriented antiparallel over all the square lattice. In the CAF state, the spins are oriented parallel in columns and alternated in opposite senses between a horizontal chains. The literature provides only one result in the case of spin-1, which was obtained years ago by Bishop et al. using the cluster coupled method (CCM), in which they demonstrate that no longer exists disordered intermediate phase, not even to = 1, featuring only rst order transitions ( < 1) and second order ( > 1) with presence of a tricritical point. On the other hand, our results for spin waves shows a phase diagram qualitatively similar to those obtained by other methods in the case of spin-1/2. Facing these controversy results found in spin-1, using CCM and LSWT, we will apply the technique of Sachdev operators (bond operators). Our results indicate that we have intermediate desordered phase for any value of > 0.
