We study numerically the thermodynamic properties of the spin nematic phases in a magnetic field in the spin-1 bilinear-biquadratic model. When the field is applied, the phase transition temperature once goes up and then decreases rapidly toward zero, which is detected by the peak-shift in the specific heat. The underlying mechanism of the reentrant behavior is the entropic effect. In a weak field the high temperature paramagnetic phase rapidly loses its entropy while the ferroquadrupolar nematic phase remains robust by modifying the shape of the ferroquadrupolar moment. This feature serves as a fingerprint of generic ferroquadrupolar phases, while it is not observed for the case of antiferroquadrupoles.

Specific heat ($C_V$) measurements in the spin-1/2 Cu$_2$(C$_2$H$_{12}$N$_2$)$_2$Cl$_4$ system under a magnetic field up to $H=8.25 T$ are reported and compared to the results of numerical calculations based on the 2-leg antiferromagnetic Heisenberg ladder. While the temperature dependences of both the susceptibility and the low field specific heat are accurately reproduced by this model, deviations are observed below the critical field $H_{C1}$ at which the spin gap closes. In this Quantum High Field phase, the contribution of the low-energy quantum fluctuations are stronger than in the Heisenberg ladder model. We argue that this enhancement can be attributed to dynamical lattice fluctuations. Finally, we show that such a Heisenberg ladder, for $H>H_{C1}$, is unstable, when coupled to the 3D lattice, against a lattice distortion. These results provide an alternative explanation for the observed low temperature ($T_Csim 0.5K$ -- $0.8K$) phase (previously interpreted as a 3D magnetic ordering) as a new type of incommensurate gapped state.
We investigate the quantum spin liquid (QSL) ground state of anisotropic Kitaev model with antiferromagnetic (AFM) coupling under the $[001]$ magnetic field with the finite-temperature Lanczos method (FTLM). In this anisotropic AFM Kitaev model with $K_{X}=K_{Y}$, $K_{X}+K_{Y}+K_{Z}=-3K$, and $K_{Z}<-K$, with magnetic field increasing, the gapped QSL experiences a transition to a gapless QSL at $h_{c1}=gmu_{B}H_{z1}/K$, to another gapless QSL with $C_{6}$ rotational symmetry at $h_{c2}$, and to a new $U(1)$ gapless QSL between $h_{c3}$ and $h_{c4}$, respectively. These indicate that magnetic field could first turn the anisotropic gapped or gapless QSL back into the isotropic $C_{6}$ gapless one and then make it to undergo the similar evolution as the isotropic case. Moreover, the critical magnetic fields $h_{c1}$, $h_{c2}$, $h_{c3}$, and $h_{c4}$ come up monotonically with the increasing Kitaev coupling; this suggests that the magnetic field can be applied to the modulation of the anisotropic Kitaev materials.
The thermodynamic properties of the pyrochlore Yb2Ti2O7 material are calculated using the numericallinked-cluster (NLC) calculation method for an effective anisotropic-exchange spin-1/2 Hamiltonian with parameters recently determined by fitting the neutron scattering spin wave data obtained at high magnetic field h. Magnetization, M(T,h), as a function of temperature T and for different magnetic fields h applied along the three high symmetry directions [100], [110] and [111], are compared with experimental measurements on the material for temperature T>1.8K. The excellent agreement between experimentally measured and calculated M(T,h) over the entire temperature and magnetic field range considered provides strong quantitative validation of the effective Hamiltonian. It also confirms that fitting the high-field neutron spin wave spectra in the polarized paramagnetic state is an excellent method for determining the microscopic exchange constants of rare-earth insulating magnets that are described by an effective spin-1/2 Hamiltonian. Finally, we present results which demonstrate that a recent analysis of the polarized neutron scattering intensity of Yb2Ti2O7 using a random phase approximation (RPA) method [Chang et al., Nature Communications {3}, 992 (2012)] does not provide a good description of M(T,h) for $Tlesssim 10$ K, that is in the entire temperature regime where correlations become non-negligible.
We present a comprehensive experimental and theoretical investigation of the thermodynamic properties: specific heat, magnetization and thermal expansion in the vicinity of the field-induced quantum critical point (QCP) around the lower critical field $H_{c1} approx 2$,T in DTN . A $T^{3/2}$ behavior in the specific heat and magnetization is observed at very low temperatures at $H=H_{c1}$ that is consistent with the universality class of Bose-Einstein condensation of magnons. The temperature dependence of the thermal expansion coefficient at $H_{c1}$ shows minor deviations from the expected $T^{1/2}$ behavior. Our experimental study is complemented by analytical calculations and Quantum Monte Carlo simulations, which reproduce nicely the measured quantities. We analyze the thermal and the magnetic Gr{u}neisen parameters that are ideal quantities to identify QCPs. Both parameters diverge at $H_{c1}$ with the expected $T^{-1}$ power law. By using the Ehrenfest relations at the second order phase transition, we are able to estimate the pressure dependencies of the characteristic temperature and field scales.
We discuss the Hubbard model in an applied magnetic field and analyze the properties of neutral spin-1/2 fermions within the so-called statistically consistent Gutzwiller approximation (SGA). The magnetization curve reproduces in a semiquantitative manner the experimental data for liquid 3 He in the regime of moderate correlations and in the presence of small number of vacant cells, modeled by a non-half filled-band situation, when a small number of vacancies (up to 5%) is introduced in the virtual fcc lattice. We also present the results for the magnetic susceptibility and the specific heat, in which a metamagnetic-like behavior is also singled out in a non-half-filled band case.
