In this work, we consider a frustrated two-leg spin-1/2 ladder composed of Heisenberg ferromagnetic and antiferromagnetic spin-1/2 chains, and nearest spins from different legs interact via Heisenberg type rung exchange interactions that can be either ferromagnetic or antiferromagnetic in nature. The competing exchange interactions in the system lead to five different quantum phases like ferromagnetic, non-collinear ferrimagnetic (NCF), m À 1=4, antiferromagnetic and dimer phases. The quantum phase diagram is constructed for the Heisenberg spin-1/2 model and the phases are characterized using the correlation functions which are calculated by the density matrix renormalization group method. We also analyze the stability of m À 1=4 phase and calculate the pitch angle q ð Þ in the NCF phase.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
