Finite-temperature Lanczos approach to frustrated quantum spin systems — •Andreas Honecker¹, Malo Rouxel¹, and Katarína Karl’ová² — ¹Laboratoire de Physique Théorique et Modélisation, CNRS, CY Cergy Paris Université, France — ²Department of Theoretical Physics and Astrophysics, P.J. Šafárik University, Košice, Slovakia

The finite-temperature Lanczos method or its quantum typicality variants are a method of choice for computing thermodynamic properties of frustrated quantum spin systems, in particular in two dimensions. Here we show that quasi-exact results can be obtained with moderate numerical effort for systems with N≤40 spins 1/2, even if the method involves Monte Carlo sampling. We illustrate the approach on the diamond-decorated square and honeycomb lattices. These models not only distinguish themselves by the presence of local conservation laws, but also offer a rich phase diagram, including phases with macroscopic ground-state degeneracy. We comment in particular on the resulting enhanced magnetocaloric effect [1].
