We investigate a model of a frustrated spin-1/2 Heisenberg chain coupled to adiabatic phonons with a general form of magnetoelastic coupling. For large enough frustration and lattice coupling, a new tetramerized phase with three different bond lengths is found. We argue that the zigzag spin-1/2 chain LiV2O5 might be a good candidate to observe such a phase.

The antiferromagnetic structure of Yb_{3}Ga_{5}O_{12} is identified by neutron diffraction experiments below the previously known transition at T_{λ}=54 mK. The magnetic propagation vector is found to be k=(1/2,1/2,0), an unusual wave vector in the garnet structure. The associated complex magnetic structure highlights the role of exchange interactions in a nearly isotropic system dominated by dipolar interactions and finds echoes with exotic structures theoretically proposed.

Motivated by the experiments on the triangular lattice bilayer colbaltate K_{2}Co_{2}(SeO_{3})_{3}, we consider an extended XXZ model to explore the underlying physics. The model is composed of interacting Co^{2+} dimers on the triangular lattice, where the Co^{2+} ion provides an effective spin-1/2 local moment via the spin-orbit coupling and the crystal field effect. The intradimer interaction is dominant and would simply favor the local spin singlet, and the interdimer interactions compete with the interdimer interaction, leading to rich behaviors.

New mixed-valence copper pnictides ACuAs (A = Li and Na) adopt a quasi-2D structure type, featuring alkalis and [CuAs] slabs along the -axis alternatively. The face-sharing connection between CuAs polyhedra leads to a higher valence state for the inside Cu ions than that of Cu ions with the other connectivity way. This is confirmed by X-ray photoemission spectroscopy results.

Computing the ground state of interacting quantum matter is a long-standing challenge, especially for complex two-dimensional systems. Recent developments have highlighted the potential of neural quantum states to solve the quantum many-body problem by encoding the many-body wavefunction into artificial neural networks. However, this method has faced the critical limitation that existing optimization algorithms are not suitable for training modern large-scale deep network architectures.

Article Synopsis
- The study focuses on the synthesis and analysis of YCo(OH)Br single crystals, which crystallize in a trigonal structure featuring a kagomé lattice formed by Co ions.
- Magnetic susceptibility measurements reveal two notable transitions at temperatures of 6.5 K and 7.8 K, indicating strong antiferromagnetic coupling and significant magnetic frustration in the material.
- Specific heat experiments suggest that these transitions are due to antiferromagnetic ordering of Co ions and indicate the presence of effective spin-1/2 behavior within this unique kagomé lattice system.
