Fluxoid quantization in the resonating-valence-bond model

Journal Article · · Phys. Rev. B: Condens. Matter; (United States)

Fluxoid quantization in the resonating-valence-bond model is investigated. It is shown that the explicit solution of the one-dimensional model is periodic with period h/2e in the fluxoid, but that in the zero-temperature limit there are two families of states corresponding to odd and even multiples of h/2e. It is shown that for a general lattice, not necessarily bipartite, a topological constraint leads to the conclusion that h/2e is the unit of fluxoid.
