A class of Heisenberg models with the orthogonal dimer ground states
Abstract
Extensions of the Shastry-Sutherland model are possible in various ways. In particular, it is possible to construct a natural model in three dimensions which has the exact dimer ground state. Recently found spin gap system SrCu2(BO3)2 has this structure. The exchange constants between the layers is expected to be smaller than the intra-layer couplings. However, the exactness of the dimer state for the three dimensional structure is important to understand why magnetic properties of SrCu2(BO3)2 are described well by the two dimensional model.
