Semiquantitative theory for high-field low-temperature properties of a
distorted diamond spin chain    [PDF]

Oleg Derzhko, Johannes Richter, Olesia Krupnitska

We consider the antiferromagnetic Heisenberg model on a distorted diamond chain and use the localized-magnon picture adapted to a distorted geometry to discuss some of its high-field low-temperature properties. We also discuss the relevance of such a description for azurite.
