Field-induced quantum phase transitions of the asymmetric three-leg spin tube

The S=1/2 three-leg spin tube has a spin gap due to the strong frustration. Using the numerical dyagonalization and the density matrix renormalization group (DMRG) calculation, we revealed new quantum phase transitions between the spin-gap and gapless phases induced by an asymmetric interchain interactions. Under high magnetic field this system also exhibits some interesting phenomena. The same numerical analysis on the magnetization process indicates that the 1/3 magnetization plateau appears for sufficiently large rung interaction caused by two different mechanisms, depending on the asymmetry.
