报告摘要:Frustrated magnetism constitutes a fertile ground breeding exotic spin states and phase transitions. In particular, the archetypal frustrated quantum magnet SrCu2(BO3)2 has recently been attracted much attentions due to both experimental and theoretical advances. In this talk I will discuss our thermal tensor network study on its model Hamiltonian, the paradigmatic Shastry-Sutherland (SS) model. Firstly, I will provide the complete finite-temperature phase diagram of the SS model in zero magnetic field, highlighting the first-order dimer-singlet to plaquette-singlet phase transition ending with a critical point, and the ordered plaquette-singlet transition ending with a critical end point. Moreover, I will introduce a novel type of quantum correlation induced cooling mechanism, dubbed magnetic barocaloric effect, found in the strongly fluctuating supercritical regime above the critical point. Finally, I will talk about the SS model in finite magnetic field, where a quantum phase transition from the plaquette-singlet phase to the spin supersolid phase that breaks simultaneously lattice translational and spin rotational symmetries is identified.
