Non-coplanar orders & phase diagram of Kagome Kondo Lattice model Shivam Ghosh, Christopher L. Henley Cornell University Pat O’ Brien, Michael Lawler Binghamton University HFM 2014 –Cambridge U.K.
Kondo Lattice Model - route to finding non-coplanar orders (Martin & Batista 2008 ,Akagi & Motome 2012 Chern 2010) Electrons mediate long ranged oscillatory RKKY interactions Filling (n) {Jij} (Arbitrary units) What spin order minimizes {Jij}? Is it non-coplanar?
From RKKY interactions to spin orders Consider RKKY at n=1/3 Filling (n) {Jij} (arbitrary units) K But coplanar order. Other fillings? Γ √3×√3 F.T. {Jij} to get 3×3 J(q) Construct {Si} from dominant q modes
Predicting spin orders in the RKKY limit Track Qopt(filling) Kagome 1st B.Z. K M Γ Γ K Γ Evolution of optimal mode connected to F.S. Qoptis insufficient to specify spin order on Kagome
Monte Carlo on RKKY couplings at for all n<2/3 Diagnostics real space :4 examples of spins at different fillings (All spin directions plotted with common origin, sublattices in different color) Get a variety of non-coplanar incommensurate states! Decompose in to sublattices Spin config. mixture many Fourier modes Simplify: project on to dominant mode “Purified state”
Phase diagram in the RKKY limit Smoothly evolving phases with the same broken symmetries – Classified as a single phase Incommensurate twists of Ferro locked at Q=0 Locally ferro Skyrmion textures Filling 0.18 5/12 0.2 1/3 0.59 0 0.05 0.53 “Twisted” √3×√3 √3×√3 3Q Cuboc1 (Messio2012) RKKY limit of Kondo Lattice Model gives us a variety of complex non-coplanar orders. Survive at finite JK?
