Combining electronic structure and renormalization group techniques we resolve the magnetic interactions and analyze their reciprocal-space susceptibility. We show that the physics of these materials is principally governed by long-range Heisenberg Hamiltonian interactions, a hitherto unappreciated fact. Our calculations uncover that in these isostructural compounds, the choice of chalcogen triggers a proximity of the materials to classical spin liquids featuring degenerate manifolds of wave-vectors of different dimensions: A Coulomb phase with three-dimensional degeneracy for LiInCr4O8 and LiGaCr4O8, a spiral spin liquid with two-dimensional degeneracy for CuInCr4Se8 and one-dimensional line degeneracies characteristic of the face-centered cubic antiferromagnet for LiInCr4S8, LiGaCr4S8, and CuInCr4S8. The surprisingly complex array of prototypical pyrochlore behaviors we discovered in chromium spinels may inspire studies of transition paths between different semi-classical spin liquids by doping or pressure.","10 Seiten","https://refubium.fu-berlin.de/handle/fub188/26683||http://dx.doi.org/10.17169/refubium-26440","eng","https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/","500 Naturwissenschaften und Mathematik::530 Physik::530 Physik","magnetic properties||magnetic materials||quantum fluids||quantum solids","Breathing chromium spinels: a showcase for a variety of pyrochlore Heisenberg Hamiltonians","Wissenschaftlicher Artikel","open access","63","10.1038/s41535-019-0202-z","npj quantum materials","https://doi.org/10.1038/s41535-019-0202-z","4","2397-4648","Physik","no","WoS-Alert"
