Reentrant Transitions of Ising-Heisenberg Ferromagnet on a Triangular Lattice with Diamond-Like Decorations

Abstract: The mixed spin-1/2 and spin-1 Ising-Heisenberg ferromagnet on the decorated triangular lattice consisting of inter-connected diamonds is investigated within the framework of an exact decoration-iteration mapping transformation. It is shown that the diamond-like decoration by a couple of the Heisenberg spins gives rise to a diverse critical behaviour including reentrant phase transitions with two consecutive critical points.

“…It is worth mentioning that all obtained results are universal as they hold regardless of whether ferromagnetic or antiferromagnetic interaction parameters J I and J H are assumed, as well as, independently of the lattice topology or spatial dimensionality of the investigated spin system. As proved, however, there are some fundamental differences between magnetic behaviour of models with distinct nature of the Heisenberg interaction (see our preliminary reports 32, 35, 36). Considering this fact, we will restrict ourselves here just to the case with the ferromagnetic Heisenberg interaction J H > 0.…”

“…Unfortunately, searching for the exact solution for the geometrically frustrated quantum Heisenberg models often fails due to a non‐commutability between spin operators involved in their Hamiltonians. Owing to this fact, we have recently proposed a special class of geometrically frustrated Ising–Heisenberg models on diamond‐like decorated lattices 32–38, which can be examined within the framework of an exact analytical approach based on the generalised decoration–iteration transformation 39–41. These simplified quantum models overcome the afore‐mentioned mathematical difficulty by introducing the Ising spins at nodal lattice sites and the Heisenberg dimers on interstitial decorating sites of the considered planar lattice.…”

“…(12)-(13), the former ket vector unambiguously determines the states of four nodal Ising spins from an elementary square face of the pth octahedron and the latter ket vector unambiguously specifies the relevant state of the Heisenberg spin pair. It should be also noticed that another equivalent representations of these eigenstates can be obtained from the eigenvectors (12)- (13) under the reversal of all four nodal Ising spins and consequently, the phases |I and |II are both four-fold degenerate.…”

“…It is also worth mentioning that the Ising-Heisenberg models on the diamond-like decorated lattices have turned out to be a very useful testing ground for elucidating several typical quantum features. Indeed, these interesting but still exactly tractable spin systems may exhibit diverse quantum ordered and disordered ground states [11-15, 18, 19], the multi-step magnetization process with quantized intermediate magnetization plateaus [14,17,18], the enhanced magnetocaloric effect [14,18], as well as the non-trivial criticality [13,16,19].…”
