Thermodynamic properties, $^{31}$P nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) measurements, and density-functional band-structure calculations for $varepsilon$-LiVOPO$_4$ are reported. This quantum magnet features a singlet ground state and comprises two types of alternating spin-$frac12$ chains that manifest themselves by the double maxima in the susceptibility and magnetic specific heat, and by the two-step magnetization process with an intermediate $frac12$-plateau. From thermodynamic data and band-structure calculations, we estimate the leading couplings of $J_1simeq 20$ K and $J_2simeq 60$ K and the alternation ratios of $alpha_1=J_1/J_1simeq 0.6$ and $alpha_2=J_2/J_2simeq 0.3$ within the two chains, respectively. The zero-field spin gap $Delta_0/k_{rm B}simeq 7.3$ K probed by thermodynamic and NMR measurements is caused by the $J_1$-$J_1$ spin chains and can be closed in the applied field of $mu_{0}H_{rm c1}simeq 5.6$ T, giving rise to a field-induced long-range order. The NMR data reveal predominant three-dimensional spin-spin correlations at low temperatures. Field-induced magnetic ordering transition observed above $H_{c1}$ is attributed to the Bose-Einstein condensation of triplons in the sublattice formed by the $J_1$-$J_1$ chains with weaker exchange couplings.
Thermodynamic properties of a tetrameric bond-alternating Heisenberg spin chain with ferromagnetic-ferromagnetic-antiferromagnetic-antiferromagnetic exchange interactions are studied using the transfer-matrix renormalization group and compared to exp
We present magnetization and magnetostriction studies of the insulating perovskite LaCoO3 in magnetic fields approaching 100 T. In marked contrast with expectations from single-ion models, the data reveal two distinct first-order spin transitions and
The ground state spin-wave excitations and thermodynamic properties of two types of ferrimagnetic chains are investigated: the alternating spin-1/2 spin-5/2 chain and a similar chain with a spin-1/2 pendant attached to the spin-5/2 site. Results for
Quantum spin liquids are exotic states of matter which form when strongly frustrated magnetic interactions induce a highly entangled quantum paramagnet far below the energy scale of the magnetic interactions. Three-dimensional cases are especially ch
We study the topological phase transitions induced by Coulomb engineering in three triangular-lattice Hubbard models $AB_2$, $AC_3$ and $B_2C_3$, each of which consists of two types of magnetic atoms with opposite magnetic moments. The energy bands a
