Abstract
Thermodynamic properties, specific heat and magnetic susceptibility, of spin-1/2 Ising-like Heisenberg model are investigated by an exact diagonalization method for small finite size kagome- and triangular-lattices up to 18-spins. The enhancement of magnetic susceptibility from the Curie–Weiss law and the peaks-structure of specific heat, rather generally detected experimentally in triangle-based spin systems including herbertsmithite, are interpreted as an intrinsic property of triangle-based frustrated spin systems with some extent of exchange anisotropy and are inferred as owing to a quantum-classical crossover.
