Bond operator theory for the frustrated anisotropic Heisenberg antiferromagnet on a square lattice

POSTER

Abstract

In this work we use the bond operator formalism in a mean field approximation to study quantum phase transitions in the S = 1 Heisenberg antiferromagnet with single ion anisotropy up to the next-next-nearest neighbor coupling (the J1-J2-J3 model) on a square lattice. The model features a complex T = 0 phase diagram, whose ordering vector is subject to quantum corrections with respect to the classical limit. The phase diagram shows a quantum paramagnetic phase situated among Ne\'el, spiral and collinear states.
