Zero-temperature properties of quantum spin models on the triangular lattice II: the antiferromagnet
Keyword(s):
The calculation of two- and four-spin correlations of the [Formula: see text] antiferromagnet has been extended to an N = 21 site triangular lattice. By fitting a quadratic in 1/N to the nearest neighbour transverse spin correlations, we have estimated the ground-state energy per bond on the infinite lattice to be E0/3NJ = −0.2716 ± 0.005. The nearest neighbour longitudinal correlation is estimated to be [Formula: see text]. A short-range order parameter, the chirality, is defined and estimated for the infinite lattice. From the N dependence of the three sublattice or helical magnetization, the spin correlation is conjectured to decay algebraically as [Formula: see text].
