Q = 0 order in quantum kagome Heisenberg antiferromagnet

Abstract

We have studied the nearest neighbor Heisenberg model with added Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interaction using Schwinger boson mean field theory considering in-plane component as well as out-of-plane component. Motivated by experimental result of Vesigniete that the ground state is in Q = 0 long range order state, we first looked at the classical ground state of the model and consider the mean field ansatz which mimics the classical ground state in the large S limit. We have obtained the ground state phase diagram of this model and calculated properties of different phases. We have also studied the above model numerically using exact diagonalization up to a system size N = 30. We have compared the obtained results from these two approaches. Our results are in agreement with the experimental result of the Vesigniete.
