Disorder effects in spiral spin liquids — •Pedro Monteiro Cônsoli and Matthias Vojta — Institut für Theoretische Physik, TU Dresden

Spiral spin liquids are a special kind of paramagnetic state that features a subextensive classical ground-state degeneracy related to a family of spin spirals whose ordering wave vectors form a submanifold of momentum space. As the number of their theoretical and experimental realizations grows, there is cumulative evidence that, under additional perturbations, spiral spin liquids constitute a promising platform for the emergence of exotic phases of matter and excitations, including quantum spin liquids, multiple-q states, and skyrmions. However, little is known about their response to quenched disorder. In this poster, we investigate how various types of defects affect the classical ground-state manifold of a spiral spin liquid on the honeycomb lattice. Among our results, we describe how different order-by-disorder mechanisms can arise, compete among themselves, and lead to spin-glass physics in these systems.
