We present a large-scale density matrix renormalization group (DMRG) study of the spin-$1$ SU(3) bilinear-biquadratic model on the square lattice, which was shown to host a nematic spin liquid state in recent DMRG calculations. We report that this spin liquid appears to strongly compete with a three-sublattice magnetic order. To further study the competition between the two states, and the reason of the emergent nematic spin liquid, we included an additional next-nearest-neighbor SU(3) symmetric interactions along one of the two plaquette diagonal directions. This allows to tune the square-lattice model to the triangular-lattice model. By computing spin correlation functions and various order parameters, we find that the three-sublattice order may develop at infinitesimal additional new coupling, at least within the precision of our study. Compared with the previous findings that the nematic spin liquid is stable in extended parameter regions with additional couplings that respect the lattice symmetries of the square lattice, we argue that here the diagonal couplings, which frustrate the bipartite-lattice structure, rapidly suppress the two-sublattice fluctuations and the three-sublattice order thus wins. This numerical result is consistent with the conjecture that the nematic spin liquid emerges from the competition between two- and three-sublattice fluctuations.

Frustration in quantum spin systems promote a variety of novel quantum phases. An important example is the frustrated spin-$1$ model on the square lattice with the nearest-neighbor bilinear ($J_1$) and biquadratic ($K_1$) interactions. We provide str
ong evidence for a nematic spin liquid phase in a range of $K_1/J_1$ near the SU(3)-symmetric point ($J_1 = K_1$), based on the linear flavor-wave theory and extensive density matrix renormalization group calculation. This phase displays no spin dipolar or quadrupolar order, preserves translational symmetry but spontaneously breaks $C_4$ lattice rotational symmetry, and possesses fluctuations peaked at the wavevector $(pi, 2pi/3)$. The spin excitation gap drops rapidly with system size and appears to be gapless, and the nematic order is attributed to the dominant $(pi, 2pi/3)$ fluctuations. Our results provide a novel mechanism for electronic nematic order and, more generally, open up a new avenue to explore frustration-induced exotic ground states.
The exotic normal state of iron chalcogenide superconductor FeSe, which exhibits vanishing magnetic order and possesses an electronic nematic order, triggered extensive explorations of its magnetic ground state. To understand its novel properties, we
study the ground state of a highly frustrated spin-$1$ system with bilinear-biquadratic interactions using unbiased large-scale density matrix renormalization group. Remarkably, with increasing biquadratic interactions, we find a paramagnetic phase between Neel and stripe magnetic ordered phases. We identify this phase as a candidate of nematic quantum spin liquid by the compelling evidences, including vanished spin and quadrupolar orders, absence of lattice translational symmetry breaking, and a persistent non-zero lattice nematic order in the thermodynamic limit. The established quantum phase diagram natually explains the observations of enhanced spin fluctuations of FeSe in neutron scattering measurement and the phase transition with increasing pressure. This identified paramagnetic phase provides a new possibility to understand the novel properties of FeSe.
Guided by the recent discovery of SU($2$)$_1$ and SU($3$)$_1$ chiral spin liquids on the square lattice, we propose a family of generic time-reversal symmetry breaking SU($N$)-symmetric models, of arbitrary $Nge 2$, in the fundamental representation,
with short-range interactions extending at most to triangular units. The evidence for Abelian chiral spin liquid (CSL) phases in such models is obtained via a combination of complementary numerical methods such as exact diagonalizations (ED), infinite density matrix renormalization group (iDMRG) and infinite Projected Entangled Pair State (iPEPS). Extensive ED on small clusters are carried out up to $N=10$, revealing (in some range of the Hamiltonian parameters) a bulk gap and ground-state degeneracy on periodic clusters as well as linear dispersing chiral modes on the edge of open systems, whose level counting is in full agreement with SU($N$)$_1$ Wess-Zumino-Witten conformal field theory predictions. Using an SU($N$)-symmetric version of iDMRG for $N=2,3$ and $4$ to compute entanglement spectra on (infinitely-long) cylinders in all topological sectors, we provide additional unambiguous signatures of the SU($N$)$_1$ character of the chiral liquids. An SU($4$)-symmetric chiral PEPS is shown to provide a good variational ansatz of the $N=4$ ground state, constructed in a manner similar to its $N=2$ and $N=3$ analogs. The entanglement spectra in all topological sectors of an infinitely long cylinder reveal specific features of the chiral edge modes originating from the PEPS holographic bulk-edge correspondence. Results for the correlation lengths suggest some form of long-range correlations in SU($N$) chiral PEPS, which nevertheless do not preclude an accurate representation of the gapped SU($N$) CSL phases. Finally, we discuss the possible observation of such Abelian CSL in ultracold atom setups.
A quantum spin liquid state has long been predicted to arise in spin-1/2 Heisenberg square-lattice antiferromagnets at the boundary region between Neel (nearest-neighbor interaction dominates) and columnar (next-nearest-neighbor dominates) antiferrom
agnetic order. However, there are no known compounds in this region. Here we use $d^{10}$-$d^0$ cation mixing to tune the magnetic interactions on the square lattice while simultaneously introducing disorder. We find spin-liquid-like behavior in the double perovskite Sr$_2$Cu(Te$_{0.5}$W$_{0.5}$)O$_6$, where the isostructural end phases Sr$_2$CuTeO$_6$ and Sr$_2$CuWO$_6$ are Neel and columnar type antiferromagnets, respectively. We show that magnetism in Sr$_2$Cu(Te$_{0.5}$W$_{0.5}$)O$_6$ is entirely dynamic down to 19 mK. Additionally, we observe at low temperatures for Sr$_2$Cu(Te$_{0.5}$W$_{0.5}$)O$_6$, similar to several spin liquid candidates, a plateau in muon spin relaxation rate and a strong $T$-linear dependence in specific heat. Our observations for Sr$_2$Cu(Te$_{0.5}$W$_{0.5}$)O$_6$ highlight the role of disorder in addition to magnetic frustration in spin liquid physics.
Iridate oxides on a honeycomb lattice are considered promising candidates for realization of quantum spin liquid states. We investigate the magnetic couplings in a structural model for a honeycomb iridate K$_2$IrO$_3$, with $C_3$ point group symmetry
at the Ir sites, which is an end member of the recently synthesized iridate family K$_x$Ir$_y$O$_2$. Using textit{ab-initio} quantum chemical methods, we elucidate the subtle relationship between the real space symmetry and magnetic anisotropy and show that the higher point group symmetry leads to high frustration with strong magnetic anisotropy driven by the unusually large off-diagonal exchange couplings ($Gamma$s) as opposed to other spin-liquid candidates considered so far. Consequently, large quantum fluctuations imply lack of magnetic ordering consistent with the experiments. Exact diagonalization calculations for the fully anisotropic $K$-$J$-$Gamma$ Hamiltonian reveal the importance of the off-diagonal anisotropic exchange couplings in stabilizing a spin liquid state and highlight an alternative route to stabilize spin liquid states for ferromagnetic $K$.
