Resumen:
We report on the magnetism of a frustrated four-leg spin-1/2 tube (FFST) [1]. Using a combination of series expansion, based on the continuous unitary transformation method and density-matrix renormalization group we analyze the ground-state correlations, and the one-, and the two-particle excitations in the regime of strong rung-coupling. We find that frustration destabilizes the spin-gapped quadrumer singlet-phase of the FFST, leading to first order quantum phase transitions. Apart from the well-know triplon branch of two-leg spin-ladders, the FFST is shown to sustain additional elementary excitations, including a singlon, and additional triplons. Finally, in the two-particle sector the FFST exhibits several collective (anti)bound states. Frustration has significant impact on the FFST leading to a flattening of the ground-state energy landscape, a mass-enhancement of the excitations, and a relative enhancement of the (anti)binding strength
