Quantum half-orphans in kagome antiferromagnets
We numerically study the effects of nonmagnetic impurities (vacancies) in the spin-S Heisenberg antiferromagnet on the kagome lattice. For a range of low but nonzero temperatures, and spin values that extend down to S=2, we find that the magnetization response to an external magnetic field is consis...
