Spin dynamics of the inverted-Y phase in triangular-lattice supersolid induced by transverse magnetic fields
Abstract: The supersolid state in triangular-lattice XXZ model with easy-axis anisotropy has attracted considerable interest recently. It features a Y spin structure stabilized by quantum order-by disorder effect, and possesses an accidental classical degeneracy. In a transverse magnetic field, an inverted-Y phase with non-collinear spin structure and quadratic magnon dispersion can be induced, which subjects to strong magnon decay. Here, we propose to study the spin dynamics of this inverted-Y phase and the corresponding magnon decay using inelastic neutron scattering. The result likely represents a textbook example of a well-ordered magnetic state without any clearly-defined quasiparticle excitation.
