Flat-band ferromagnetic transition on a Bethe lattice — •Mykola Maksymenko1, Kirill Shtengel2, and Roderich Moessner11MPIPKS, 01187 Dresden, Germany — 2Department of Physics and Astronomy, University of California, Riverside, California 92521, USA

An exotic example of itinerant-electron magnetism is the so-called "flat-band ferromagnetism", in a wide class of geometrically frustrated lattices. Here electrons become trapped in restricted parts of the lattice and interactions may favor a ferromagnetic state across a range a electronic fillings.

We provide an exact solution for the problem of the para-ferro transition in a Hubbard model on lattices in which trapping cells form a Bethe lattice. This can be studied as a Pauli-correlated percolation transition in which due to spin-rotational degeneracy, different clusterings of electrons obtain different statistical weights [1]. As in the case of recent numerical studies for the 2D case, we show that the paramagnetic phase persists beyond the uncorrelated percolation point and the transition is via a first-order jump to an unsaturated ferromagnetic phase.
