Abstract

Description

A new quantum spin model with frustration, the `Union Jack' model on the square lattice, is analyzed using spin-wave theory. For small values of the frustrating coupling $α$, the system is N{\' e}el ordered as usual, while for large $α$ the frustration is found to induce a canted phase. The possibility of an intermediate spin-liquid phase is discussed.
