Abstract

The coupled cluster method is applied to a spin-half model at zero temperature (T=0T=0), which interpolates between Heisenberg antiferromagnets (HAF's) on a kagome and a square lattice. With respect to an underlying triangular lattice the strengths of the Heisenberg bonds joining the nearest-neighbor (NN) kagome sites are J10J_{1} \geq 0 along two of the equivalent directions and J20J_{2} \geq 0 along the third. Sites connected by J2J_{2} bonds are themselves connected to the missing NN non-kagome sites of the triangular lattice by bonds of strength J10J_{1}' \geq 0. When J1=J1J_{1}'=J_{1} and J2=0J_{2}=0 the model reduces to the square-lattice HAF. The magnetic ordering of the system is investigated and its T=0T=0 phase diagram discussed. Results for the kagome HAF limit are among the best available.
