摘要: We study the phase diagram of a symmetric spin-1/2 Heisenberg diamond chain with additional cyclic four-spin exchange interactions. The presented analysis supplemented by numerical exact-diagonalization results for finite periodic clusters implies rich containing, apart from standard magnetic and spin-liquid phases, two different tetramer-dimer phases as well an exotic fourfold degenerate dimerized phase. characteristics established spin nature quantum transitions are discussed well.
