Exotic phases in frustrated quantum systems

In this work, we study the extended Shastry-Sutherland model which is a Quantum spin system with geometrical frustration. It is originated from the compound SrCu2(BO3)2 which exhibits nontrivial magnetization plateaus in the external magnetic field. In the first part, we use a generalized spin wave...
