Abstract

The scaling limit of the Heisenberg XXZ spin chain at zero magnetic field is studied in the gapped antiferromagnetic phase. For a spin-chain ring having N_{x} sites, the universal Casimir scaling function, which characterizes the leading finite-size correction term in the large-N_{x} expansion of the ground-state energy, is calculated by numerical solution of the nonlinear integral equation of the convolution type. It is shown that the same scaling function describes the temperature dependence of the free energy of the infinite XXZ chain at low enough temperatures in the gapped scaling regime.

Short-distance thermal correlations in the massive XXZ chain

Frank Göhmann, Andreas Klümper, Fachbereich C Physik

We explore short-distance static correlation functions in the infinite XXZ chain using previously derived formulae which represent the correlation functions in factorized form. We compute two-point functions ranging over 2, 3 and 4 lattice sites as functions of the temperature and the magnetic field in the massive regime ∆> 1, extending our previous results to the full parameter plane of the antiferromagnetic chain ( ∆> −1 and arbitrary field h). The factorized formulae are numerically efficient and allow for taking the isotropic limit ( ∆ = 1) and the Ising limit ( ∆ = ∞). At the critical field separating the fully polarized phase from the Néel phase, the Ising chain possesses exponentially many ground states. The residual entropy is lifted by quantum fluctuations for large but finite ∆ inducing unexpected crossover phenomena in the correlations. 1

Universal terms in the overlap of the ground state of the spin-1/2 XXZ chain with the Neel state

Brockmann, M., Jean-Marie Stéphan

We analyze universal terms that appear in the large system size scaling of the overlap between the Neel state and the ground state of the spin-1/2 XXZ chain in the antiferromagnetic regime. In a critical theory, the order one term of the asymptotics of such an overlap may be expressed in terms of g-factors, known in the context of boundary conformal field theory. In particular, for the XXZ model in its gapless phase, this term provides access to the Luttinger parameter. In its gapped phase, on the other hand, the order one term simply reflects the symmetry broken nature of the phase. In order to study the large system size scaling of this overlap analytically and to compute the order one term exactly, we use a recently derived finite-size determinant formula and perform an asymptotic expansion. Our analysis confirms the predictions of boundary conformal field theory and enables us to determine the exponent of the leading finite-size correction.

The antiferromagnetic spin- 1/2 -XXZ model on rings with an odd number of sites

Michael Karbach, K -H Mutter

The ground-state energies of the antiferromagnetic XXZ model at a given spin are determined on chains with an odd number N of sites. Analytical and numerical solutions of the Bethe ansatz equations are compared for the N-even and N-odd case. The scaling properties of the ground-state energies enable the determination of the zero-temperature susceptibility. For the isotropic case, we analyse the logarithmic terms in the low-field limit.

Thermodynamics of impurities in the anisotropic Heisenberg spin-1/2 chain

Jesko Sirker, Satoshi Fujimoto, Nicolas Laflorencie +2 more

The thermodynamics of finite open antiferromagnetic XXZ chains is studied using field theory, Bethe ansatz and quantum Monte Carlo methods. For the susceptibility a parameter-free result as a function of the number of sites L and temperature T beyond the scaling limit is derived. The limiting cases ( J being the exchange constant), where the boundary correction shows a logarithmically suppressed Curie behaviour, and , where a crossover to the ground state behaviour takes place, are discussed in detail. On the basis of this analysis we present a simple formula for the averaged susceptibility of a spin-1/2 chain doped with non-magnetic impurities. We show that the effective Curie constant has a highly non-trivial temperature dependence and shows scaling in the low temperature limit. Finally, corrections due to intrachain and interchain couplings and implications for experiments on Sr 2 Cu 1− x Pd x O 3+δ and related compounds are discussed.

AsymmetricXXZchain at the antiferromagnetic transition: spectra and partition functions

Doochul Kim

The Bethe ansatz equation is solved to obtain analytically the leading finite-size correction of the spectra of the asymmetric XXZ chain and the accompanying isotropic 6-vertex model near the antiferromagnetic phase boundary at zero vertical field. The energy gaps scale with size N as and their amplitudes are obtained in terms of level-dependent scaling functions. Exactly on the phase boundary, the amplitudes are proportional to a sum of square-root of integers and an anomaly term. By summing over all low-lying levels, the partition functions are obtained explicitly. A similar analysis is performed also at the phase boundary of zero horizontal field in which case the energy gaps scale as . The partition functions for this case are found to be that of a non-relativistic free fermion system. From the symmetry of the lattice model under rotation, several identities between the partition functions are found. The scaling at zero vertical field is interpreted as a feature arising from viewing the Pokrovsky - Talapov transition with the space and time coordinates interchanged.
