We investigate the interplay of Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interactions and an external field in spin-1∕2 dimers. For isolated dimers and at low field, we derive simple expressions for the staggered and uniform magnetizations which show that the orientation of ...
We investigate the effect of Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya (DM) interactions on torque measurements of quantum magnets with magnetization plateaux in the context of a frustrated spin-1/2 ladder. Using extensive DMRG simulations, we show that the DM contribution to ...
Motivated by recent nuclear magnetic resonance experiments on ZnCu3(OH)(6)Cl-2, we present an exact-diagonalization study of the combined effects of nonmagnetic impurities and Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya (DM) interactions in the s = 1/2 kagome antiferromagnet. T ...
