We give a short review of our recent works on the first-order quantum phase transitions in frustrated spin chains with orthogonal-dimer structure. When the ratio of the competing antiferromagnetic exchange couplings is varied, a first-order…

Different from the usual conclusion that the separation of the photon angular momentum into orbital and spin parts is physically meaningless, the orbital and spin angular momenta are demonstrated in the first-quantization framework not to…

It is here pointed out that the antiferromagnetic spin fluctuation may be associated with a gauge field which gives rise to the antiferromagnetic ground state chirality. This is associated with the chiral anomaly and Berry phase when we…
