Abstract

We propose a hole decomposition scheme to exactly solve a class of spin-1 quantum Ising models with transverse or longitudinal single-ion anisotropy. In this scheme, the spin-1 model is mapped onto a family of the $S=1/2$ transverse Ising models, characterized by the total number of holes. A recursion formula is derived for the partition function based on the reduced $S=1/2$ Ising model. This simplifies greatly the summation over all the hole configurations. It allows the thermodynamic quantities to be rigorously determined in the thermodynamic limit. The ground-state phase diagram is determined for both the uniform and dimerized spin chains. The corresponding thermodynamic properties are calculated and discussed.

Rigorous Solution of the Spin-1 Quantum Ising Model with Single-Ion Anisotropy

Zhihua Yang, Li‐Ping Yang, Jianhui Dai +1 more

We solve the spin-1 quantum Ising model with single-ion anisotropy by mapping it onto a series of segmented spin-1/2 transverse Ising chains, separated by the S(z)=0 states called holes. A recursion formula is derived for the partition function to simplify the summation of hole configurations. This allows the thermodynamic quantities of this model to be rigorously determined in the thermodynamic limit. The low temperature behavior is governed by the interplay between the hole excitations and the fermionic excitations within each spin-1/2 Ising segment. The quantum critical fluctuations around the Ising critical point of the transverse Ising model are strongly suppressed by the hole excitations.

RIGOROUS RESULTS FOR THE QUANTUM PHASE TRANSITIONS IN A DIMERIZED S = 1 ISING LATTICE

Haina Wu, Zhihua Yang, Jianhui Dai +1 more

We examine the ground state properties of a dimerized ferromagnetic S = 1 Ising chain with single-ion crystal fields by mapping the model onto the dimerized S = 1/2 Ising chain with transverse fields. We show that the system exhibits a series of Ising transitions depending on the dimerization strength of the crystal fields, while the critical points can be determined exactly.

Exactly solvable mixed-spin Ising-Heisenberg diamond chain with biquadratic interactions and single-ion anisotropy

Onofre Rojas, S. M. de Souza, Vadim Ohanyan +1 more

An exactly solvable variant of a mixed spin-(1/2,1) Ising-Heisenberg diamond chain is considered. Vertical spin-1 dimers are taken as quantum ones with Heisenberg bilinear and biquadratic interactions and with single-ion anisotropy, while all interactions between spin-1 and spin-1/2 residing on the intermediate sites are taken in the Ising form. The detailed analysis of the $T=0$ ground-state phase diagram is presented. The phase diagrams have been shown to be rather rich, demonstrating a large variety of ground states: a saturated one, three ferrimagnetic ones with magnetization equal to 3/5, and another four ferrimagnetic ground states with magnetization equal to 1/5. There are also two frustrated macroscopically degenerated ground states that could exist at zero magnetic filed. Solving the model exactly within a classical transfer-matrix formalism we obtain exact expressions for all thermodynamic functions of the system. The thermodynamic properties of the model have been described exactly by exact calculation of the partition function within the direct classical transfer-matrix formalism.

Green functions and correlation functions of a solvable S=1 quantum Ising spin model with dimerization

Yang, Zhi-Hua, Li‐Ping Yang, Haina Wu +2 more

This is a supplementary material of our recent paper\cite{yangPRB}, where a class of exactly solvable S=1 quantum Ising spin models were studied based on the hole decomposition scheme. Here we provide some details for the Green functions, the spin-spin correlation functions, as well as the spin susceptibility in the presence of dimerization.

Exact phase diagram for the mixed spin-1/2 and spin-S Ising models on the square lattice

A. Dakhama, Mouhcine Azhari, Noureddine Benayad

We propose a new approach which permits us to obtain exact results for the mixed spin-1/2 and Spin- S ( S > 1/2) Ising models with single ion anisotropy Δ on the square lattice. We drive an explicit expression for the critical temperature for arbitrary values of S. We determine the exact phase diagrams for different values of S , and we show that there is no tricritical point. For S integer, there is no long range order when the anisotropy exceeds a critical value which is independent of S . Furthermore, the exact Ising transition temperature T C is always recovered, for any values of S, in the limit of Δ → − ∞ . These exact results are based on a conjecture which extend the analyticity of the n-spin-1/2 correlations functions (except at T = T C (Ising)) for any finite number n, to n → ∞ . This is confirmed by our calculations since our results are practically similar to those obtained by Monte Carlo simulations for S = 1, 2 and 3/2.

Exact thermal properties of free-fermionic spin chains

Michał Białończyk, Fernando J. Gómez-Ruiz, DEL CAMPO ECHEVARRIA, Adolfo

An exact description of integrable spin chains at finite temperature is provided using an elementary algebraic approach in the complete Hilbert space of the system.We focus on spin chain models that admit a description in terms of free fermions, including paradigmatic examples such as the one-dimensional transverse-field quantum Ising and XY models.The exact partition function is derived and compared with the ubiquitous approximation in which only the positive parity sector of the energy spectrum is considered.Errors stemming from this approximation are identified in the neighborhood of the critical point at low temperatures.We further provide the full counting statistics of a wide class of observables at thermal equilibrium and characterize in detail the thermal distribution of the kink number and transverse magnetization in the transverse-field quantum Ising chain.
