- We establish the double perovskite Ba2CeIrO6 as a nearly ideal model system for j = 1/2 moments, with resonant inelastic x-ray scattering indicating that the ideal j = 1/2 state contributes by more than 99% to the ground-state wave function. The local j = 1/2 moments form an fcc lattice and are found to order antiferromagnetically at T-N = 14 K, more than an order of magnitude below the Curie-Weiss temperature. Model calculations show that the geometric frustration of the fcc Heisenberg antiferromagnet is further enhanced by a next-nearest neighbor exchange, and a significant size of the latter is indicated by ab initio theory. Our theoretical analysis shows that magnetic order is driven by a bond-directional Kitaev exchange and by local distortions via a strong magnetoelastic effect. Both, the suppression of frustration by Kitaev exchange and the strong magnetoelastic effect are typically not expected for j = 1/2 compounds making Ba2CeIrO6 a riveting example for the rich physics of spin-orbit entangled Mott insulators.

Anyonic quantum spin chains : Spin-1 generalizations and topological stability

Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- There are many interesting parallels between systems of interacting non-Abelian anyons and quantum magnetism occurring in ordinary SU(2) quantum magnets. Here we consider theories of so-called SU(2)(k) anyons, well-known deformations of SU(2), in which only the first k + 1 angular momenta of SU(2) occur. In this paper, we discuss in particular anyonic generalizations of ordinary SU(2) spin chains with an emphasis on anyonic spin S = 1 chains. We find that the overall phase diagrams for these anyonic spin-1 chains closely mirror the phase diagram of the ordinary bilinear-biquadratic spin-1 chain including anyonic generalizations of the Haldane phase, the AKLT construction, and supersymmetric quantum critical points. A novel feature of the anyonic spin-1 chains is an additional topological symmetry that protects the gapless phases. Distinctions further arise in the form of an even/odd effect in the deformation parameter k when considering su(2)(k) anyonic theories with k >= 5, as well as for the special case of the su(2)(4) theory for which the spin-1 representation plays a special role. We also address anyonic generalizations of spin-1/2 chains with a focus on the topological protection provided for their gapless ground states. Finally, we put our results into the context of earlier generalizations of SU(2) quantum spin chains, in particular so-called (fused) Temperley-Lieb chains.
