Abstract We have studied the ground state phases of the one-dimensional (1D) spin-1/2 anisotropic frustrated ferromagnetic model, using the numerical Lanczos method. We have focused on the quantum correlations as the concurrence and the quantum discord (QD) between the nearest neighbor (NN) and the next-nearest neighbor (NNN) spins. Numerical results show that the Tomonaga-Luttinger liquid (TLL), the even-parity dimer, and the vector chiral phases can be distinguished from each other using the long-distance quantum correlations. Specially, the critical points are explicitly detected in the first derivative of the concurrence between the nearest neighbor spins with respect to the frustration parameter.
We study Heisenberg spin-1/2 and spin-1 chains with alternating ferromagnetic (
J1F) and antiferromagnetic (
J1A) nearest-neighbor interactions and ferromagnetic next-nearest-neighbor interaction (
J2F). In this model frustration is induced by the non-zero
J2F and the effect of dimerization is realized by changing the strength of
J1A for a fixed value of
J1F. The model with site spin
s behaves like a Haldane spin chain with site spin 2
s in the limit of vanishing
J2F and large
J1F/J1A. We show that the exact ground state of the model can be found along a line in the parameter space. The phase diagram in the space of
J1A−J2F is determined using numerical techniques complemented by some analytical calculations. A number of quantities, including the ground state spin, energy gap, structure factor, entanglement entropy, and zero temperature magnetization, are studied to understand the complete phase diagram. An interesting and application-wise important feature of this model is that it exhibits a macroscopic magnetization jump in the presence of a magnetic field; we study this using an effective Hamiltonian.
Using the density matrix renormalization group technique, we investigate the quantum phase diagram of a ferromagnetic frustrated two-leg spin-1/2 ladder with diagonal and in-chain next-nearest-neighbor (NNN) interactions. By analyzing the correlation function and four-site entropy, we obtain the quantum phase diagram of the system. We find that the system possesses a tetramer phase, a ferromagnetic phase and states I and II. Spin arrangements for states I and II are also determined. In addition, the influence of the in-chain NNN interaction J 2 on the phase transitions of the anti-ferromagnetic case is studied. We show the phase diagram and find that the stagger dimer phase exists only in a narrow parameter region. Meanwhile, the existence of the controversial columnar dimer phase at J 2 = 0 is carefully analyzed.
We study here different regions in phase diagrams of the spin-1/2, spin-1 and spin-3/2 one-dimensional antiferromagnetic Heisenberg systems with frustration (next-nearest-neighbor interaction J2) and dimerization (δ). In particular, we analyze the behaviors of the bipartite entanglement entropy and fidelity at the gapless to gapped phase transitions and across the lines separating different phases in the J2-δ plane. All the calculations in this work are based on numerical exact diagonalizations of finite systems.
The one-dimensional s=1/2 quantum spin model with nearest-neighbor ferromagnetic and next-nearest-neighbor antiferromagnetic interactions is considered. The behavior of the system in the vicinity of the transition point from the antiferromagnetic ground state to the ferromagnetic one is studied. The consideration is based on the classical approximation and the regular procedure is proposed to find the corrections to the classical energy. The dependence of the energy on spin S is calculated. We obtain evidence of a phase separation for the state with intermediate S. \textcopyright{} 1996 The American Physical Society.
The one-dimensional quantum spin-1/2 model with nearest-neighbor ferromagnetic and next-nearest-neighbor antiferromagnetic interaction is considered. The Hamiltonian is firstly rewritten in a form with rotated spin operators, then bosonized by using the linear spin wave approximation and then treated by using the Green function approach. An integral expression of the quantum correction to the classical ground state energy is derived. The critical behavior of the ground state energy in the vicinity of the transition point from the ferromagnetic to the singlet ground state is analyzed by numerical calculation and the result is −8γ 2 .
