We implement the coupled cluster method to very high orders of approximation to study the spin-$\frac{1}{2}$ $J_{1}$--$J_{2}$ Heisenberg model on a cross-striped square lattice. Every nearest-neighbour pair of sites on the square lattice…

Different liquid crystalline phases with long-range orientational but not positional order, so-called nematic phases, are scarce. It rarely occurs that a new nematic phase is discovered and such event is inevitably accompanied by a great…

We investigate the resilience of spinon quasiparticles in the $J_1$-$J_2$ zig-zag spin chain ($J_2>0$) from the viewpoint of momentum-space entanglement. For small $J_2$, we show that deconfined spinons survive well past the liquid-dimer…
