Quantum Melting of Magnetic Order due to Orbital Fluctuations
Louis Felix Feiner, Andrzej M. Oles, Jan Zaanen
Abstract
We have studied the phase diagram and excitations of the spin-orbital model derived for a three dimensional perovskite lattice, as in KCuF3. The results demonstrate that the orbital degeneracy drastically increases quantum fluctuations and suppresses the classical long-range order near the multicritical point in the mean-field phase diagram. This generates a qualitatively new spin liquid, providing the first example of a valence bond ground state in three dimensions.
