Localized-magnon states in strongly frustrated quantum spin lattices

Recent developments concerning localized-magnon eigenstates in strongly frustrated spin lattices and their effect on the low-temperature physics of these systems in high magnetic fields are reviewed. After illustrating the construction and the properties of localized-magnon states we describe the...

Recent developments concerning localized-magnon eigenstates in strongly frustrated spin lattices and their effect on the low-temperature physics of these systems in high magnetic fields are reviewed. After illustrating the construction and the properties of localized-magnon states we describe the plateau and the jump in the magnetization process caused by these states. Considering appropriate lattice deformations fitting to the localized magnons we discuss a spin-Peierls instability in high magnetic fields related to these states. Last but not least we consider the degeneracy of the localized-magnon eigenstates and the related thermodynamics in high magnetic fields. In particular, we discuss the low-temperature maximum in the isothermal entropy versus field curve and the resulting enhanced magnetocaloric effect, which allows efficient magnetic cooling from quite large temperatures down to very low ones.
The author is indebted to O. Derzhko, A. Honecker, H.-J. Schmidt, J. Schnack, and J. Schulenburg for the fruitful collaboration in the field of localized-magnon states in frustrated antiferromagnets. Most of the results discussed in the paper are based on common publications with these colleagues. In particular, I thank J. Schulenburg for many valuable discussions and hints. Furthermore I thank H. Frahm for directing my attention to the flat-band ferromagnetism. I also acknowledge the support from the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (project No. Ri615/12-1).
