Abstract

Extensions of the Shastry-Sutherland model are possible in various ways. In particular, it is possible to construct a natural model in three dimensions which has the exact dimer ground state. Recently found spin gap system SrCu_2(BO_3)_2 has this structure. The exchange constants between the layers is expected to be smaller than the intra-layer couplings. However, the exactness of the dimer state for the three dimensional structure is important to understand why magnetic properties of SrCu_2(BO_3)_2 are described well by the two dimensional model.
