Dynamic and thermodynamic properties of the generalized diamond chain model for azurite

Abstract: The natural mineral azurite Cu(3)(CO(3))(2)(OH)(2) is an interesting spin-1/2 quantum antiferromagnet. Recently, a generalized diamond chain model has been established as a good description of the magnetic properties of azurite with parameters placing it in a highly frustrated parameter regime. Here we explore further properties of this model for azurite. First, we determine the inelastic neutron scattering spectrum in the absence of a magnetic field and find good agreement with experiments, thus lending furth… Show more

“…A fascinating example is the natural mineral azurite Cu 3 (CO 3 ) 2 (OH) 2 , [4,5] which is known as a realization of the frustrated diamond spin chain close to the flat-band point. [5,6] In our recent study [7] we have considered three localized-magnon systems (the diamond and dimer-plaquette chains and the two-dimensional square-kagome lattice) which belong to the monomer universality class [3] with small deviations from the ideal flat-band geometry and have elaborated effective low-energy theories which provide good description of the initial frustrated quantum isotropic (i.e., XXX) Heisenberg antiferromagnets in the low-temperature strong-field regime.…”

“…There are several approximate methods applied in Heisenberg model to explain the experimental measurements in the natural mineral azurite [9]. Recently, Honecker et al [10] studied the dynamic and thermodynamic properties for this model. Furthermore, thermodynamics of the Ising-Heisenberg model on a diamond-like chain was also widely discussed in the references [11][12][13][14].…”

“…For example, a natural mineral, azurite Cu 3 (CO 3 ) 2 (OH) 2 can be considered as one of the first experimental realizations of the distorted diamond chain model [14][15][16]. Recently, a considerable attention has been attracted to the IsingHeisenberg diamond chains.…”
