The effect of interchain coupling on multipolar phases in quasi-1d quantum helimagnets — •S. Nishimoto¹, S.-L Drechsler¹, R.O. Kuzian¹, J. Richter², and J. van den Brink¹ — ¹IFW Dresden, Germany — ²Universität Magdeburg, Germany

Coupled frustrated spin-1/2 chains in high magnetic fields described within the ferro- antiferromagnetic J₁-J₂ Heisenberg model are studied by DMRG, hard core boson, and spin wave theory approaches. Multipolar phases related to magnon bound states are destroyed (supported) by weak antiferromagnetic (ferromagnetic) interchain couplings J_ic. We show that quantum spin nematics might be found for LiVCuO₄ whereas for Li(Na)Cu₂O₂ it is prevented by a sizeable antiferromagnetic J_ic. Also for Li₂ZrCuO₄ with a small antiferromagnetic J_ic expected triatic or quartic phases are unlikely, too. The saturation field is found to be strongly affected even by a relatively small J_ic.
