Phase diagram of the Kitaev-Heisenberg model using various finite-size clusters
Abstract
We estimate phase boundaries of four ordered and two spin-liquid phases for the spin-12 Kitaev-Heisenberg (KH) model using four kinds of relatively-small clusters, based on the second derivative of ground-state energy. The estimated values are compared between the clusters as well as the previous iPEPS results. We thus find that the boundaries can be accurately estimated within limited-size clusters. The used clusters may appropriate to study higher-S KH models having less fluctuations.
