Abstract

We consider the one-dimensional spin chain for arbitrary spin $s$ on a periodic chain with $N$ sites, the generalization of the chain that was studied by Blume and Capel \cite{bc}: $$H=\sum_{i=1}^N \left(a (S^z_i)^2+ b S^z_iS^z_{i+1}\right).$$ The Hamiltonian only involves the $z$ component of the spin thus it is essentially an Ising \cite{Ising} model. The Hamiltonian also figures exactly as the anisotropic term in the famous model studied by Haldane \cite{haldane} of the large spin Heisenberg spin chain \cite{bethe}. Therefore we call the model the Blume-Capel-Haldane-Ising model. Although the Hamiltonian is trivially diagonal, it is actually not always obvious which eigenstate is the ground state. In this paper we establish which state is the ground state for all regions of the parameter space and thus determine the phase diagram of the model. We observe the existence of solitons-like excitations and we show that the size of the solitons depends only on the ratio $a/b$ and not on the number of sites $N$. Therefore the size of the soliton is an intrinsic property of the soliton not determined by boundary conditions.

Haldane, Large-D, and Intermediate-DStates in anS= 2 Quantum Spin Chain with On-Site andXXZAnisotropies

Takashi Tonegawa, Kiyomi Okamoto, Hiroki Nakano +3 more

Using mainly numerical methods, we investigate the ground-state phase diagram of the S=2 quantum spin chain described by $H = \sum_j (S_j^x S_{j+1}^x + S_j^y S_{j+1}^y + ΔS_j^z S_{j+1}^z) + D \sum_j (S_j^z)^2$, where $Δ$ denotes the $XXZ$ anisotropy parameter of the nearest-neighbor interactions and $D$ the on-site anisotropy parameter. We restrict ourselves to the case with $Δ\ge 0$ and $D \ge 0$ for simplicity. Each of the phase boundary lines is determined by the level spectroscopy or the phenomenological renormalization analysis of numerical results of exact-diagonalization calculations. The resulting phase diagram on the $Δ$-$D$ plane consists of four phases; the XY 1 phase, the Haldane/large-$D$ phase, the intermediate-$D$ phase and the Néel phase. The remarkable natures of the phase diagram are: (1) the Haldane state and the large-$D$ state belong to the same phase; (2) there exists the intermediate-$D$ phase which was predicted by Oshikawa in 1992; (3) the shape of the phase diagram on the $Δ$-$D$ plane is different from that believed so far. We note that this is the first report of the observation of the intermediate-$D$ phase.

Ground-state phase diagram of the spin-1/2 ferromagnetic-antiferromagnetic alternating Heisenberg chain with anisotropy

Kazuo Hida

The ground state of the ferromagnetic-antiferromagnetic alternating spin-1/2 Heisenberg chain is studied with Ising-type anisotropy on the ferromagnetic bond. This model tends to the spin-1 antiferromagnetic Heisenberg chain with on-site anisotropy in the limit of strong ferromagnetic bond. It is found that the Haldane-gap phase, the large-D phase, and the two types of N\'eel phases appear as the ground state of this model. The duality relations between these four phases are proved for several limiting cases. The string order parameter characterizing the large-D phase is introduced based on these duality relations. The ground-state phase diagram is determined by the numerical diagonalization of the finite-size system.

Ground-State Phase Diagram and Magnetization Curves of the Spin-1 Antiferromagnetic Heisenberg Chain with Bond Alternation and Uniaxial Single-Ion-Type Anisotropy

Takashi Tonegawa, Takeshi Nakao, Makoto Kaburagi

Ground-state properties of the spin-1 antiferromagnetic Heisenberg chain with bond alternation and uniaxial single-ion-type anisotropy, which is described by the Hamiltonian \({\cal H}_0 = \sum_{\ell=1}^N\{1-(-1)^\ell\alpha\}{\mib S}_\ell\cdot{\mib S}_{\ell+1} + D\sum_{\ell=1}^N\;(S_\ell^z)^2\) (0.0 ≤α≤1.0, -∞< D < ∞), are studied. An exact diagonalization method by means of the Lanczös technique is used. The ground-state phase diagram on the α versus D plane at the thermodynamic limit is determined by analyzing the Binder parameters associated with Néel order and z -direction string order for finite-size ( N = 6, 8, …, 16) chains. It is found that there exists a multicritical point at which the Haldane, Néel, and singlet-dimer phases meet and that the singlet-dimer phase and the large- D phase belong to the same unique phase. The ground-state magnetization curves at the thermodynamic limit for various values of α and D are obtained for the system described by the Hamiltonian, H 0 plus the Zeeman term - H ∑ ℓ=1 N S ℓ z . The results show that the 1/2-plateau appears in the magnetization curve at least when D ≥0.0 and \(0.0\lesssim\alpha \leq 1.0\).

Phase diagram of the anisotropic spin-2 XXZ model: Infinite-system density matrix renormalization group study

Jonas A. Kjäll, Michael P. Zaletel, Roger S. K. Mong +2 more

We study the ground-state phase diagram of the quantum spin-2 XXZ chain in the presence of on-site anisotropy using a matrix-product state based infinite-system density matrix renormalization group (iDMRG) algorithm. One of the interests in this system is in connecting the highly quantum-mechanical spin-1 phase diagram with the classical $S=\ensuremath{\infty}$ phase diagram. Several of the recent advances within DMRG make it possible to perform a detailed analysis of the whole phase diagram. We consider different types of on-site anisotropies, which allows us to establish the validity of the following statements: (1) the spin-2 model can be tuned into a phase, which is equivalent to the ``topologically nontrivial'' spin-1 Haldane phase, and (2) the spin-2 Haldane phase at the isotropic Heisenberg point is adiabatically connected to the ``trivial'' large-$D$ phase, with a continuous change of the Hamiltonian parameters. Furthermore, we study the spin-3 XXZ chain to help explain the development of the classical phase diagram. We present details on how to use the iDMRG method to map out the phase diagram and include an extensive discussion of the numerical methods.

Phase diagram of spin-1 quantum Ising-Heisenberg models

Carla Buzano

The phase diagram at T = 0 of a family of spin-1 quantum Ising-Heisenberg models is studied using a mean-field approximation. The model Hamiltonian is characterized by single ion anisotropy terms D μ , (μ = x, y, z ) and by two positive parameters η x , η y measuring the degree of anisotropy of the interaction. They allow to describe a variety of models: among them the spin-1 Ising-Blume-Capel model (η x = η y = 0), and the isotropic Heisenberg model (η x = η y = 1). Both dipolar and quadrupolar order parameters are used to derive the phase diagram in the parameter space (η x , η y , D μ ). The resulting phase diagram is rather complex as it exhibits first and second order critical transitions as well as multicritical points.

Ground-State Phase Diagram of the Bond-Alternating S = 2 Quantum Spin Chain with the XXZ and On-Site Anisotropies — Symmetry Protected Topological Phase versus Trivial Phase —

Kiyomi Okamoto, Takashi Tonegawa, Tôru Sakai

We investigate the ground-state phase diagram of the bond-alternating $S=2$ quantum spin chain with the $XXZ$ and on-site anisotropies. For the on-site anisotropies, in addition to the popular $D_2 \sum_j (S_j^z)^2$ term, we consider the $D_4 \sum_j (S_j^z)^4$ term. Mainly we use the exact diagonalization and the level spectroscopy analysis. We show that the Haldane state, large-$D$ state and the Dimer2 state belong to the same trivial phase, by finding the existence of adiabatic paths directly connecting these states without the quantum phase transition. Similarly, we show that the intermediate-$D$ state and the Dimer1 state belong to the same symmetry protected topological phase.
