SrCu2(BO3)2 - a Two Dimensional Spin Liquid
Abstract
We study an extended Shastry-Sutherland model for SrCu2(BO3)2 and analyze the low lying parts of the energy spectrum by means of a perturbative unitary transformation based on flow equations. The derivation of the 1-magnon dispersion (elementary triplets) is discussed. Additionally, we give a quantitative description (symmetries and energies) of bound states made from two elementary triplets. Our high order results allow to fix the model parameters for SrCu2(BO3)2 precisely: J1=6.16(10)meV, x:=J2/J1=0.603(3), J=1.3(2)meV. To our knowledge this is the first quantitative treatment of bound states in a true 2d model.
