We explored a chiral spin liquid using a projected BCS state. Odd chains dimerize, satisfying the Lieb-Schultz-Mattis theorem, while even chains and 2D limits do not, supporting a gapless spin liquid state.

Area of Science:

  • Condensed Matter Physics
  • Quantum Magnetism
  • Theoretical Physics

Background:

  • Chiral spin liquids are exotic quantum states of matter.
  • Understanding their properties is crucial for novel electronic devices.
  • The Lieb-Schultz-Mattis theorem provides constraints on magnetic systems.

Purpose of the Study:

  • Investigate a specific chiral spin liquid wave function.
  • Determine conditions for dimerization in finite and infinite systems.
  • Explore the possibility of a 2D spin liquid ground state.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized a Gutzwiller projected Bardeen-Cooper-Schrieffer (BCS) state.
  • Employed a complex pairing function.
  • Analyzed spontaneous dimerization in systems with varying numbers of chains.

Main Results:

  • Spontaneous dimerization observed for odd numbers of chains, consistent with the Lieb-Schultz-Mattis theorem.
  • No dimerization occurred for an even number of chains.
  • The dimer order parameter vanished in the two-dimensional thermodynamic limit.

Conclusions:

  • The findings support the existence of a 2D chiral spin liquid.
  • This state possesses a gap to excitations and no broken translation symmetry.
  • The model provides a pathway to realizing 2D spin liquid states.
