Frustration-Induced Ferrimagnetism inS= 1/2 Heisenberg Spin Chain

Abstract

The ground-state properties of the S=1/2 frustrated Heisenberg spin chain with interactions up to fourth nearest neighbors are investigated by the exact-diagonalization method and density matrix renormalization group method. Our numerical calculations clarify that the ferrimagnetic state is realized in the ground state in spite of the fact that a multi-sublattice structure in the shape of the system is absent. We find that there are two types of ferrimagnetic phases: one is the well-known ferrimagnetic phase of the Lieb-Mattis type and the other is the nontrivial ferrimagnetic phase that is different from that of the Lieb-Mattis type. Our results suggest that a multi-sublattice structure of the shape is not necessarily required for the occurrence of ferrimagnetism.

Frustration-Induced Ferrimagnetism in Heisenberg Spin Chains

Tokuro Shimokawa, Hiroki Nakano

We study ground-state properties of the Heisenberg frustrated spin chain with interactions up to fourth nearest neighbors by the exact-diagonalization method and the density matrix renormalization group method. We find that ferrimagnetism is realized not only in the case of S=1/2 but also S=1 despite that there is only a single spin site in each unit cell determined from the shape of the Hamiltonian. Our numerical results suggest that a "multi-sublattice structure" is not required for the occurrence of ferrimagnetism in quantum spin systems with isotropic interactions.

Ferrimagnetic states inS= 1/2 frustrated Heisenberg chains with period 3 exchange modulation

K Hida

The ground state properties of the S = 1/2 frustrated Heisenberg chain with period 3 exchange modulation are investigated using the numerical diagonalization and density matrix renormalization group (DMRG) method. It is known that this model has a magnetization plateau at one third of the saturation magnetization M s . On the other hand, the ground state is ferrimagnetic even in the absence of frustration if one of the nearest neighbour bond is ferromagnetic and the others are antiferromagnetic. In the present work, we show that this ferrimagnetic state continues to the region in which all bonds are antiferromagnetic if the frustration is strong. This state further continues to the above-mentioned 1/3 plateau state. In between, we also find the noncollinear ferrimagnetic phase in which the spontaneous magnetization is finite but less than M s /3. The intuitive interpretation for the phase diagram is given and the physical properties of these phases are discussed.

Ferrimagnetism of the Heisenberg model on the Kagome strip lattice

Tokuro Shimokawa, Hiroki Nakano

We study ground-state properties of the S = 1/2 Heisenberg model on the Kagome strip lattice by using exact-diagonalization and density matrix renormalization group methods. When the strength of magnetic frustration is tuned, we find from our numerical calculations that there exists an intermediate phase between the non-magnetic phase and the ferrimagnetic phase of the well-known Lieb-Mattis type and that the local magnetization shows an inocommensurate modulation with long-distance periodicity in the intermediate phase. Since the present model shares the same lattice structure in its inner part with the spatially anisotropic two-dimensional Kagome lattice in which an intermediate phase with a similar behavior is certainly observed, the intermediate phases of these models are the ferrimagnetic one of the unconventional non-Lieb-Mattis type.

Frustration-induced quantum phases in mixed spin chain with frustrated side chains

和男 飛田

A mixed Heisenberg spin chain with frustrated side chains is investigated by numerical and perturbational calculations.A frustration-induced quantum partially polarized ferrimagnetic phase and a nonmagnetic spin quadrupolar phase are found adjacent to the conventional Lieb-Mattis-type ferrimagnetic phase or the nonmagnetic singlet cluster solid phases.The partially polarized ferrimagnetic phase has an incommensurate spin structure.Similar structures are commonly found in other frustration-induced partially polarized ferrimagnetic phases.Numerical results also suggest a series of almost critical nonmagnetic ground states in a highly frustrated regime if the side chain spins weakly couple to the main chain.
