摘要
Spin chirality has generated great interest recently both from possible applications to flux phases and intrinsically, as an example of a several-site magnetic order parameter that can be long-ranged even where simpler order parameters are not. Previous work (motivated by the flux phases) has focused on antiferromagnetic chiral order; we construct a model in which the chirality orders ferromagnetically and investigate the model's behavior as a function of spin. Enlisting the aid of exact diagonalization, spin-waves, perturbation theory, and mean fields, we conclude that the model likely has long-ranged chiral order for spins 1 and greater and no non-trivial chiral order for spin 1/2.
