We study a dimerised spin chain with biaxial magnetic interacting ions in the presence of an externally induced three-site interactions out of equilibrium. In the general case, the three-site interactions play a role in renormalizing the…
Any state of matter is classified according to its order, and the kind of order a physical system can posses is profoundly affected by its dimensionality. Conventional long-range order, like in a ferromagnet or a crystal, is common in…
