Effective spin models in the strong coupling limit
Even in case of the simplest F = 12 case there exist lattices that
have ground state without breaking of spin rotational invariance(no Néel order) in the thermodynamic limit.Various disordered spin sates occur in e.g.
finite systems,frustrated systems,systems described by Hamiltonian with higher power of SiSj .
To describe these disordered states a powerful possibility:
valence bond picture.

All the spin liquid phases "melt" around the same critical temperature.
No new state occurs as lowest freeenergy SP solution.
The SP free energies approach eachother without crossing.
The chiral state remains the lowestfree energy solution even at T > 0. 0
