Four-Spin Terms and the Origin of the Chiral Spin Liquid in Mott Insulators on the Triangular Lattice

Kavli Affiliate: Joel E. Moore | First 5 Authors: Tessa Cookmeyer, Johannes Motruk, Joel E. Moore, , | Summary: At strong repulsion, the triangular-lattice Hubbard model is described by $s=1/2$ spins with nearest-neighbor antiferromagnetic Heisenberg interactions and exhibits conventional 120$^circ$ order. Using the infinite density matrix renormalization group and exact diagonalization, we study the effect […]
