Long-range spin correlations in a honeycomb spin model with magnetic field
Abstract
We consider spin- model on the honeycomb lattice in the presence of weak magnetic field . Such a perturbation treated in the second order over leads to the power-law decay of irreducible spin correlation function , where is an oscillating function of , with a wavelength equal to 3 lattice constants. In the present Letter we sum main terms in all orders of the perturbation theory for the correlation function in the limit of large . Our results can be understood in terms of the effective low-energy Hamiltonian written in terms of Majorana fermions, which in the presence of magnetic field acquire vector potential . Correspondingly, the wave vector of the oscillations in changes according to . We also compute the dynamic structure factor ; in the vicinity of corresponding to the inter-conical points excitations it reads as .
