Ground State of $\mathrm{SU}\left(3\right)$ spin model on the checkerboard lattice

Geometric frustration in quantum spin systems can lead to exotic ground states. In this study, we investigate the $\mathrm{SU}(3)$ spin model on the checkerboard lattice to explore the effects of frustration arising from its point-connected $(N+1)$-site local structure. We employ density matrix renormalization group (DMRG) and exact diagonalization (ED) techniques to determine the ground state properties. Our results reveal the absence of both 3-sublattice antiferromagnetic order and valence cluster solid order. Instead, we identify ground states with bond stripe patterns sensitive to boundary conditions and system size, comprising staggered singlet arrays and uniform flat stripes. Notably, these stripes are relatively decoupled, and similar patterns can be reconstructed in quasi-one-dimensional ladders. These findings suggest that geometric frustration drives the system toward a mixed phase, combining characteristics of spin-liquid and valence cluster solid states, providing new insights into the behavior of frustrated quantum spin systems.
