The Diagonalization of Hamiltonian in XY Spin Chain with Dzyaloshinskii–Moriya and Three-Body Interactions

By the methods of Jordan–Wigner transformation and Bogolyubov transformation, in this paper, we diagonalized the Hamiltonian in one-dimensional Heisenberg spin chain model with Dzyaloshinskii–Moriya interactions and three-body interactions, and further analyze the effect of the Dzyaloshinskii–Moriya interaction and different three-body interactions on the Bogolyubov transformation and the energy spectrum of quantum spin chains. The results shows that only the energy spectrum but not the coefficients of the Bogolyubov transformation depends on DM interaction and one type of three-site exchange interaction. Another kind of three-body interaction not only can move the criticality region, but also can generate a new critical point.     

Transport in quasi one-dimensional spin-1/2 systems

We present numerical results for the spin and thermal conductivity of one-dimensional (1D) quantum spin systems. We contrast the properties of integrable models such as the spin-1/2 XXZ chain against nonintegrable ones such as frustrated and dimerized chains. The thermal conductivity of the XXZ chain is ballistic at finite temperatures, while in the nonintegrable models, this quantity is argued to vanish. For the case of frustrated and dimerized chains, we discuss the frequency dependence of the transport coefficients. Finally, we give an overview over related theoretical work on intrinsic and extrinsic scattering mechanisms of quasi-1D spin systems.     

Phase diagram of the alternating-spin Heisenberg chain with extra isotropic three-body exchange interactions

For the time being isotropic three-body exchange interactions are scarcely explored and mostly used as a tool for constructing various exactly solvable one-dimensional models, although, generally speaking, such competing terms in generic Heisenberg spin systems can be expected to support specific quantum effects and phases. The Heisenberg chain constructed from alternating S = 1 and σ = 1/2 site spins defines a realistic prototype model admitting extra three-body exchange terms. Based on numerical density-matrix renormalization group (DMRG) and exact diagonalization (ED) calculations, we demonstrate that the additional isotropic three-body terms stabilize a variety of partially-polarized states as well as two specific non-magnetic states including a critical spin-liquid phase controlled by two Gaussinal conformal theories as well as a critical nematic-like phase characterized by dominant quadrupolar S-spin fluctuations. Most of the established effects are related to some specific features of the three-body interaction such as the promotion of local collinear spin configurations and the enhanced tendency towards nearest-neighbor clustering of the spins. It may be expected that most of the predicted effects of the isotropic three-body interaction persist in higher space dimensions.     

Excitations in one-dimensional S = 1/2 quantum antiferromagnets

The transition from dimerized to uniform phases is studied in terms of spectral weights for spin chains using continuous unitary transformations. The spectral weights in the S=1 channel are computed perturbatively around the limit of strong dimerization. We find that the spectral weight is concentrated mainly in the subspaces with a small number of elementary triplets (triplons), even for vanishing dimerization. So, besides spinons, triplons may be used as elementary excitations in spin chains. We conclude that there is no necessity to use fractional excitations in low-dimensional, undoped, or doped quantum antiferromagnets.     

Energy structure of a finite Haldane chain in Y2BaNi0.96Mg0.04O5 studied by high field electron spin resonance

This Letter presents the fine structure of energy levels for the edge states of a Haldane chain. In order to investigate the edge states, we have performed high field and multifrequency electron spin resonance (ESR) measurements of finite length S=1 antiferromagnetic chains in Y2BaNi0.96Mg0.04O5. Owing to the high spectral resolution by high fields and high frequencies, observed ESR signals can be separated into the contributions of the finite chains with various chain lengths. Our results clearly show that the edge spins actually interact with each other through the quantum spin chain and the interaction depends on the chain length N. This N dependence has been obtained experimentally for the first time, and shows that the correlation length xi in the real system is somewhat larger than that calculated by a simple Heisenberg model.     

Spin gap and string order parameter in the ferromagnetic spiral staircase heisenberg ladder: a quantum Monte Carlo study

We consider a spin-1/2 ladder with a ferromagnetic rung coupling J perpendicular and inequivalent chains. This model is obtained by a twist (theta) deformation of the ladder and interpolates between the isotropic ladder (theta=0) and the SU(2) ferromagnetic Kondo necklace model (theta = pi). We show that the ground state in the (theta, J perpendicular) plane has a finite string order parameter characterizing the Haldane phase. Twisting the chain introduces a new energy scale, which we interpret in terms of a Suhl-Nakamura interaction. As a consequence we observe a crossover in the scaling of the spin gap at weak coupling from delta/J parallel proportional, variant J perpendicular/J parallel for theta < theta c approximately 8 pi/9 to delta/J parallel proportional, variant (J perpendicular/J parallel)2 for theta > theta c. Those results are obtained on the basis of large scale quantum Monte Carlo calculations.     

Three-body analysis of<Superscript>11</Superscript>Li and its<Emphasis Type="Italic">β</Emphasis>-decay to deuteron channel and to halo analog state<Superscript>11</Superscript>Be* (18.3 MeV)

The ground state wave function of¹¹Li obtained in a three-body model proposed earlier (S Kumar and V S Bhasin,Phys. Rev. C65, 034007 (2002)) has been employed to study the probability distributions, momentum distributions and n−n correlation. Complex scaling method has been used to find the energy positions and widths of the three resonant states of¹¹Li above the breakup threshold. The formalism is extended further to study the β-decay of¹¹Li to two channels. One is the β-transition of¹¹Li into a high lying excited state of¹¹Be at 18.3 MeV, i.e.,¹¹Be* and the second is the decay to deuteron +⁹Li channel. The¹¹Be* state has been considered as a halo analog state identified as a bound three-body (⁹Li + n + p) system. The n-⁹Li interaction incorporates both the virtual state and the p-wave resonance observed experimentally. For p-⁹Li interaction, a Coulomb corrected separable interaction is constructed using charge indepedendence for strong interaction part. The n-p interaction is operative only in³S₁ state corresponding to the isotopic spin T^h =0. As a result the¹¹Be* state has the same isotopic spin as that of⁹Li core, i.e.,T = 3/2. Using these realistic parameters as input and without invoking any other free parameter, the model has been used to predict the strength of the Gamow-Teller β-decay of¹¹Li to¹¹Be*, i.e.,Bgt = 1.5 and the value of the branching ratio to⁹Li + deuteron channel to be 1.3 × 10^-4. These results are found to be in rather good agreement with the recent experimental findings.     

Exact and numerical results for a dimerized coupled spin- 1/2 chain

We establish exact results for coupled spin-1/2 chains for special values of the four-spin interaction V and dimerization parameter delta. The first exact result is at delta = 1/2 and V = -2. Because we find a very small but finite gap in this dimerized chain, this can serve as a very strong test case for numerical and approximate analytical techniques. The second result is for the homogeneous chain with V = -4 and gives evidence that the system has a spontaneously dimerized ground state. Numerical diagonalization and bosonization techniques indicate that the interplay between dimerization and interaction could result in gapless phases in the regime 0相似文献   

Real space renormalization group approach to the two-dimensional antiferromagnetic Heisenberg model (I) – The singlet triplet gap

The low energy behaviour of the two-dimensional antiferromagnetic Heisenberg model is studied in the sector with total spins S = 0,1,2 by means of a renormalization group procedure, which generates a recursion formula for the interaction matrix Δ_S ⁽ⁿ⁺¹⁾ of 4 neighbouring “n clusters” of size 2ⁿ × 2ⁿ, n = 1,2,3,... from the corresponding quantities Δ_S ⁽ⁿ⁾. Conservation of total spin S is implemented explicitly and plays an important role. It is shown, how the ground state energies E_S ⁽ⁿ⁺¹⁾, S = 0,1,2 approach each other for increasing n, i.e. system size. The most relevant couplings in the interaction matrices are generated by the transitions 〈S’,m’;n+1|S_q ^*|S,m;n+1〉 between the ground states |S,m;n+1〉 (m = -S,...,S) on an (n+1)-cluster of size 2ⁿ⁺¹ × 2ⁿ⁺¹, mediated by the staggered spin operator S_q ^*.     

Quantum Phase Transitions and Dimerized Phases in Frustrated Spin Ladder

In this paper, we study the phase diagram of a frustrated spin ladder model by applying the bosonization technique and the density-matrix renormalization-group (DMRG) algorithm. Effect of the intra-chain next-nearest-neighbor (NNN) super-exchange interaction is investigated in detail and the order parameters are calculated to detect the emergence of the dimerized phases. We find that the intra-chain NNN interaction plays a key role in inducing dimerized phases.     

Autocorrelation exponent of conserved spin systems in the scaling regime following a critical quench

We study the autocorrelation function of a conserved spin system following a quench at the critical temperature. Defining the correlation length L(t) approximately t(1/z), we find that for times t' and t satisfying L(t')infinity limit, we show that lambda(')(c)=d+2 and phi=z/2. We give a heuristic argument suggesting that this result is, in fact, valid for any dimension d and spin vector dimension n. We present numerical simulations for the conserved Ising model in d=1 and d=2, which are fully consistent with the present theory.     

Optimum ground states for spin-3/2 chains

We present a set of optimum ground states for a large class of spin-3/2 chains. Such global ground states are simultaneously ground states of the local Hamiltonian, i.e. the nearest neighbour interaction in the present case. They are constructed in the form of a matrix product. We find three types of phases, namely a weak antiferromagnet, a weak ferromagnet, and a dimerized antiferromagnet. The main physical properties of these phases are calculated exactly by using a transfer matrix technique, in particular magnetization and two spin correlations. Depending on the model parameters, they show a surprisingly rich structure.     

Fitting of EPR spectra: the importance of a flexible bandwidth

Utilizing a standard spin Hamiltonian for an S=32 spin system, we fit complete X-band powder EPR spectra of the Cr(oxalate)(3)(3-) anion diluted into K(3)[Co(oxalate)(3)]·3H(2)O. By using models for the bandshape and bandwidths of varying degree of flexibility, we show that the successful outcome of such a fitting endeavour very much depends on the used bandshape-bandwidth model. The best results are obtained when the bandwidth model incorporates anisotropic intrinsic bandwidths in addition to being able to account for inhomogeneous line broadening caused by distributions of the spin Hamiltonian parameters.     

Dimerized phase and transitions in a spatially anisotropic square lattice antiferromagnet

We investigate the spatially anisotropic square lattice quantum antiferromagnet. The model describes isotropic spin-1/2 Heisenberg chains (exchange constant J) coupled antiferromagnetically in the transverse (J( perpendicular )) and diagonal (J(x)), with respect to the chain, directions. Classically, the model admits two ordered ground states-with antiferromagnetic and ferromagnetic interchain spin correlations-separated by a first-order phase transition at J( perpendicular )=2J(x). We show that in the quantum model this transition splits into two, revealing an intermediate quantum-disordered columnar dimer phase, both in two dimensions and in a simpler two-leg ladder version. We describe quantum-critical points separating this spontaneously dimerized phase from classical ones.

Generalized Jordan-Wigner transformations

We introduce a new spin-fermion mapping, for arbitrary spin S generating the SU(2) group algebra, that constitutes a natural generalization of the Jordan-Wigner transformation for S = 1/2. The mapping, valid for regular lattices in any spatial dimension d, serves to unravel hidden symmetries. We illustrate the power of the transformation by finding exact solutions to lattice models previously unsolved by standard techniques. We also show the existence of the Haldane gap in S = 1 bilinear nearest-neighbor Heisenberg spin chains and discuss the relevance of the mapping to models of strongly correlated electrons. Moreover, we present a general spin-anyon mapping for the case d < or = 2.     

On the origin of biquadratic exchange in spin 1 chains

One-dimensional spin 1 systems may have a rich phase diagram including Haldane gap and dimerized phases if the usually very small biquadratic exchange becomes significant. We show that this unlikely condition may be fulfilled in electron systems with quasi-degenerate orbitals. This mechanism may have been experimentally realized in the spin 1 chain LiVGe₂O₆. The implications for the exploration of the physics and quantum chemistry of spin 1 chains are discussed. Received 4 January 2000     

Deconfinement phase transition in a two-dimensional model of interacting 2 × 2 plaquettes

The low energy behaviour of the two-dimensional antiferromagnetic Heisenberg model is studied in the sector with total spins S = 0,1,2 by means of a renormalization group procedure, which generates a recursion formula for the interaction matrix Δ_S ⁽ⁿ⁺¹⁾ of 4 neighbouring “n clusters” of size 2ⁿ × 2ⁿ, n = 1,2,3,... from the corresponding quantities Δ_S ⁽ⁿ⁾. Conservation of total spin S is implemented explicitly and plays an important role. It is shown, how the ground state energies E_S ⁽ⁿ⁺¹⁾, S = 0,1,2 approach each other for increasing n, i.e. system size. The most relevant couplings in the interaction matrices are generated by the transitions 〈S’,m’;n+1|S_q ^*|S,m;n+1〉 between the ground states |S,m;n+1〉 (m = -S,...,S) on an (n+1)-cluster of size 2ⁿ⁺¹ × 2ⁿ⁺¹, mediated by the staggered spin operator S_q ^*.     

Spin-1 Bose–Hubbard model with two- and three-body interactions

We investigated the ground state of spin-1 bosons interacting under local two- and three-body interactions in one dimension by means of the density matrix renormalization group method. We found that the even–odd asymmetry will be obtained or not depending on the relative values of the two- and three-body interactions. The Mott insulator lobes are spin isotropic, the first showing a dimerized pattern and the second being composed of singlets. The three-body interactions disfavor a longitudinal polar superfluid and a quantum phase transition to a transverse polar superfluid occurs, which could be continuous or discontinuous.     

PARABOLIC APPROXIMATION OF THE SPECIFIC HEAT IN QUANTUM XY SPIN GLASS MODEL WITH PLANAR DZYALOSHINSKII-MORIYA INTERACTIONS IN LONGITUDINAL FIELD

The quantum infinite range XY spin glass model with the infinite range planar Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interaction in external field for spin S=1/2 is investigated theoretically. Numerical calculations show that, the specific heat depending on the temperature has crossover behavior; the weak field dependence of the specific heat can be fitted by the parabolic approximation, C/T=A+Bh², the coefficient B is peaked near the transition point.
