Abstract:
We investigate spin-12anisotropic model of a linear chain of triangles with competing ferro- and antiferromagnetic interactions and ferromagneic Heisenberg interactions between triangles. For a certain ratio between interactions the one-magnon excitation band is dispersionless leading to an existence of localized-magnon states which form macroscopically degenerated ground states. The spectrum of excitations has a specific structure depending on the value of the triangle-triangle interaction. Such specific structure determines the low-temperature thermodynamics and, in particular, the temperature dependence of a specific heat. In the limit of strong anisotropy of interactions the spectrum has a multi-scale structure which consists of subsets rank-ordered on small parameter. Each subset is responsible for the appearance of the peak in the temperature dependence of the specific heat.

Colors and Magnetism
When atoms or molecules absorb light at the proper frequency, their electrons are excited to higher-energy orbitals. For many main group atoms and molecules, the absorbed photons are in the ultraviolet range of the electromagnetic spectrum, which cannot be detected by the human eye. For coordination compounds, the energy difference between the d orbitals often allows photons in the visible range to be absorbed and emitted, which is seen as colors by the human...
