Title: Signatures of the finite-temperature mirror symmetry breaking in the $S$=1/2 Shastry-Sutherland model
(Submitted on 31 Dec 2020 (v1), last revised 29 Mar 2021 (this version, v2))
Abstract: We investigate the finite-temperature properties of the $S$=1/2 Shastry-Sutherland Heisenberg model using a quantum typicality method. In the intermediate plaquette state region, we naturally expect to realize the finite-temperature phase transition associated with breaking the mirror symmetry of this model. We reveal some signatures of the spontaneous phase transition within a two-point correlation level at moderate temperatures since the constructed typical state can sense the existence of the degenerated excited states depending on the initial random state. We also confirm that the local mirror order parameter shows the intriguing recovering phenomenon of the mirror symmetry in very low-temperatures, which could be understood from the nature of the ground and excited states of the finite-size systems. We expect that this recovering feature disappears; instead, a saturated behavior appears in the local mirror order parameter in the thermodynamic limit. We discuss the relationship to the recent experimental results on ${\rm SrCu_2(BO_3)_2}$ under high pressures.
