    A theoretical model for tellurite-sulfates Na2Cu5(TeO3)(SO4)3(OH)4 and K2Cu5(TeO3)(SO4)3(OH)4

    Authors: I. L. Bartolom/'eL. ErricoV. FernandezM. MateraA. V. Gil RebazaC. A. Lamas

    AbstractA theoretical model for two new tellurite-sulfates, namely Na2Cu5(TeO3)(SO4)3(OH)4 and K2Cu5(TeO3)(SO4)3 (OH)4 is determined to be compatible with ab-initio calculations. The results obtained in this work show that some previous speculations in the literature about the couplings are correct, obtaining a model with a mixture of ferromagnetic and antiferromagnetic… ▽ More

    Authors: Santiago AcevedoCarlos A. LamasAlejo Costa DuranMauricio B. SturlaTomás S. Grigera

    AbstractWe study the so-called neural network flow of spin configurations in the 2-d Ising ferromagnet. This flow is generated by successive reconstructions of spin configurations, obtained by an artificial neural network like a restricted Boltzmann machine or an autoencoder. It was reported recently that this flow may have a fixed point at the critical temperature of the system, and even allow the comput… ▽ More

    An effective field theory approach for the bilayer honeycomb antiferromagnet

    Authors: S. Acevedo, C. A. Lamas, P. Pujol

    Abstract: The spin-3/2 Heisenberg antiferromagnet on the bilayer honeycomb lattice is a minimal model to describe the magnetic behavior of Bi3Mn4O12(NO3). We study this model with frustrating inter-layer second-neighbor couplings, taking into account quantum and thermal fluctuations. We use a path integral formulation in terms of coherent states to describe the low energy physics of the model.… ▽ More

    Phase diagram study of a two-dimensional frustrated antiferromagnet via unsupervised machine learning

    AbstractWe apply unsupervised learning techniques to classify the different phases of the J1J2 antiferromagnetic Ising model on the honeycomb lattice. We construct the phase diagram of the system using convolutional autoencoders. These neural networks can detect phase transitions in the system via `anomaly detection', without the need for any label or a priori knowledge of the phases. We present diff… ▽ More

    Current jumps in flat band ladders with Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interactions

    Authors: S. AcevedoP. PujolC. A. Lamas

    AbstractLocalized magnons states, due to flat bands in the spectrum, is an intensely studied phenomenon and can be found in many frustrated magnets of different spatial dimensionality. The presence of Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya (DM) interactions may change radically the behavior in such systems. In this context, we study a paradigmatic example of a one-dimensional frustrated antiferromagnet, the sawtooth chain… ▽ More

    Exploring neural network training strategies to determine phase transitions in frustrated magnetic models

    Authors: I. CorteS. AcevedoM. ArlegoC. A. Lamas

    AbstractThe transfer learning of a neural network is one of its most outstanding aspects and has given supervised learning with neural networks a prominent place in data science. Here we explore this feature in the context of strongly interacting many-body systems. Through case studies, we test the potential of this deep learning technique to detect phases and their transitions in frustrated spin systems,… ▽ More

    Optimizing configurations for determining the magnetic model based on ab-initio calculations

    AbstractIn this paper, it is presented a novel strategy to optimize the determination of magnetic couplings by using ab-initio calculations of the energy. This approach allows determining efficiently, in terms of a proposed effective magnetic spin model, an optimal set of magnetic configurations to be simulated by DFT methods. Moreover, a procedure to estimate the values of the coupling constants and thei… ▽ More

    AbstractWe analyze the phase diagram of the exact ground state (GS) of spin-s chains with ferromagnetic XXZ couplings under n-alternating field configurations, i.e, sparse alternating fields having nodes at n1 contiguous sites. It is shown that such systems can exhibit a non-trivial magnetic behavior, which can differ significantly from that of the standard (n=1) alternating case and enable mec… ▽ More

    AbstractThe spin1/2 Heisenberg antiferromagnet on the honeycomb bilayer lattice is shown to display a rich variety of semiclassical and genuinely quantum phases, controlled by the interplay between intralayer frustration and interlayer exchange.

This state can be exactly obtained without the need to include any additional three-body interaction in the model. The simplest members of the family can be used as a building block to generate more complex geometries like spin tubes with a fully dimerized ground state. After present some numer… ▽ More

In this regime the classical system is known to have a degenerate manifold of lowest energy configurations, where standard thermal order by disorder occurs. In order to study its quantum version we use a path integral formulation in terms of coherent states. We show that th… ▽ More

We show that for arbitrary S, there is a family of Hamiltonians for which a fully-dimerized state is an exact ground state, being the Majumdar-Ghosh point a particular member of the family. We show that the system presents a transition between a dimerized phase to a Néel-like… ▽ More
