摘要
The magnetization process of the S=1/2 Kagome-lattice quantum antiferromagnet is investigated using the numerical exact diagonalization up to 39-site clusters, comparing with the triangular-lattice antiferromagnet. Our previous finite-size scaling analysis with the rhombic clusters indicated the "magnetization ramp" as a novel field-induced quantum phase transition at 1/3 of the saturation magnetization. As another possible exotic behavior, we focus on the feature of the magnetization curve at the 2/3 of the saturation. The same critical exponent analysis indicates that a different singular behavior occurs at the 2/3 magnetization of the Kagome-lattice antiferromagnet, while no anomaly in the triangular-lattice one.
