Gaulin, Mc Master Univ., Hamilton, Canada Introduction Structure and symmetry properties of SrCu2(BO3)2 The Sutherlad Shastry model Finite Temperature Lanczos method Specific heath results and comparison with experiment Spin structure factor at zero and finite temperatures and comparison with ESR and INS measurements Finite doping with nonmagnetic impurities SrCu2(BO3)2 SrCu2(BO3)2 Shastry-Sutherland model: Complete model: Symmetry of DM term Computation: FTLM: High -T expansion Thermal average over the canonical ensemble FTLM: High -T expansion Thermal average in the canonical ensemble FTLM: High –T expansion cont Random sampling Implementation of HTML Finite-size effects, Tfs Thermodyamic properties: Model parameters Uniform Susceptibility Specific heat Energy spectrum ESR spectrum Spin Structure Factor S.

ESR spectra can be reproduced only with finite value of symmetry breaking Dz – open question (structural phase transition, phonons). S. El Shwaish, J. Bonca, C.D.Batista, and I. Sega, PRB 71, 014413 (2005). Good agreement with neutron-scattering data. S. El Sha
