Claims

C1strongest claim

Using a combination of hybrid and semiclassical Monte Carlo simulations of the Kondo lattice model (KLM) on the Shastry-Sutherland lattice (SSL), we find robust magnetization plateaus at fractions 1/6, 2/9, 1/4, 1/3, 1/2, 2/3 and 3/4 of the saturation magnetization. We find that most of the plateau states are partially Kondo screened and emerge from the field-tuning of a complex three-way competition between the kinetic energy, the Kondo coupling, and the magnetic frustration.

C2weakest assumption

The Kondo lattice model on the Shastry-Sutherland lattice, without additional terms such as lattice distortions or further-neighbor interactions, is sufficient to capture the essential low-temperature physics of the rare-earth tetraborides.

C3one line summary

Partial Kondo screening arising from competition between kinetic energy, Kondo coupling, and magnetic frustration in the Kondo lattice model on the Shastry-Sutherland lattice produces robust magnetization plateaus at 1/6, 2/9, 1/4, 1/3, 1/2, 2/3, and 3/4 of saturation in rare-earth tetraborides.
