Description

Data set underlying the figures in the article "Candidate quantum disordered intermediate phase in the Heisenberg antiferromagnet on the maple-leaf lattice"

Quantum antiferromagnets on geometrically frustrated lattices have long attracted interest for the formation of quantum disordered states and the possible emergence of quantum spin liquid ground states. Here we turn to the nearest-neighbor spin-1/2 Heisenberg antiferromagnet on the maple-leaf lattice, which is known to relieve frustration by the formation of canted 120° magnetic order or valence bond crystal order when varying the bond anisotropy. Employing a pseudo-fermion functional renormalization group approach to assess its ground state phase diagram in detail, we present evidence for a quantum spin liquid (QSL) regime sandwiched between these two limiting phases. The formation of such a QSL might signal proximity to a possible deconfined quantum critical point from which it emerges, and that is potentially accessible by tuning the exchange couplings. Our conclusions are based on large-scale simulations involving a careful finite-size scaling analysis of the behavior of magnetic susceptibility and spin-spin correlation functions under renormalization group flow.
