Monte Carlo Simulations of Spin Liquids

POSTER

Abstract

Using Monte Carlo, we simulate the ground state spin configurations of spin liquids at low temperatures. The program requires only basic unit cell and coupling energy information to be run. Thus, most materials can be easily simulated. We have modeled the frustrated diamond lattice for a range of J2/J1 energies. As well as the frustrated pyrochlore lattice for a select J2/J1 energies. In particular, we compare the modeled critical temperature and structure factor with that from previous models and experiments.
