Abstract
Dimerized quantum magnets provide a unique possibility to investigate the Bose-Einstein condensation of magnetic excitations in crystalline systems at low temperature. Here, we model the low-temperature magnetic properties of the recently synthesized spin dimer system and propose it as a candidate material for triplon and quintuplon condensation. Based on a first-principles analysis of its electronic structure, we derive an effective spin dimer model that we first solve within a mean-field approximation to refine its parameters in comparison to experiment. Finally, the model is solved by employing a numerically exact quantum Monte Carlo technique which leads to magnetic properties in good agreement with experimental magnetization and thermodynamic results. We discuss the emergent spin model of in view of the condensation of magnetic excitations in a broad parameter regime. Finally, we comment on a geometrical peculiarity of the proposed model and discuss how it could host a supersolid phase upon structural distortions.
