Low-Lying Magnetic Excitation of the Shastry-Sutherland Model

الأصل · EN

By using perturbation calculation and numerical diagonalization, low-energy spin dynamics of the Shastry-Sutherland model is investigated paying particular attention to the two-particle coherent motion. In addition to spin-singlet- and triplet bound states, we find novel branches of coherent motion of a bound quintet pair, which are usually unstable because of repulsion. Unusual dispersion observed in neutron-scattering measurements are explained by the present theory. The importance of the effects of phonon is also pointed out.
