Two-step restoration of SU(2) symmetry in a frustrated ring-exchange magnet.

We demonstrate the existence of a spin-nematic, moment-free phase in a quantum four-spin ring-exchange model on the square lattice. This unusual quantum state is created by the interplay of frustration and quantum fluctuations that lead to a partial restoration of SU(2) symmetry when going from a four-sublattice orthogonal biaxial Néel order to this exotic uniaxial magnet. A further increase of frustration drives a transition to a fully gapped SU(2) symmetric valence bond crystal.

Magnetothermodynamics of the spin- 1 / 2 Kagome antiferromagnet

In this paper, we use a new hybrid method to compute the thermodynamic behavior of the spin- 1 / 2 Kagome antiferromagnet under the influence of a large external magnetic field. We find a T2 low-temperature behavior and a very low sensitivity of the specific heat to a strong external magnetic field. We display clear evidence that this low-temperature magnetothermal effect is associated with the existence of low-lying fluctuating singlets, but also that the whole picture ( T2 behavior of C(v) and the thermally activated spin susceptibility) implies contribution of both nonmagnetic and magnetic excitations. Comparison with experiments is made.
