Abstract

The ground states and finite-temperature properties of mixed diamond chains with spins 1 and 1/2 are investigated in the limit of strong easy-axis anisotropy on the spin-1 sites. Magnetization curves, entropy, specific heat and magnetic susceptibility are exactly calculated using the method of Čanovà et al. [J. Phys.: Condens. Matter 18 4967 (2006)].

Ground State and Finite Temperature Properties of Mixed Diamond Chains with Spins 1 and 1/2 with Single-site Anisotropy

Kazuo Hida

Ground states and finite temperature properties of mixed diamond chains with spins 1 and1/2 which has the single-site anisotropy on spin-1 sites are investigated. There are phaseswhere the ground state is a spin cluster solid, i. e. an array of uncorrelated spin-1 clustersseparated by singlet dimers. The ground state is nonmagnetic for the easy-plane anisotropy,while it is paramagnetic for the easy-axis anisotropy. Also there are the N´eel, Haldane, andlarge-D phases, where the ground state is a single spin cluster of infinite size and the systemis equivalent to the spin-1 Heisenberg chain with alternating anisotropy. The longitudinal andtransverse susceptibilities and entropy are calculated at finite temperatures in the spin-cluster-solid phases. Their low temperature behaviors are sensitive to the anisotropy.KEYWORDS: mixed diamond chain, anisotropy, frustration, spin cluster solid, N´eel phase, Haldane phase,large-Dphase

Effects of Single-site Anisotropy on Mixed Diamond Chains with Spins 1 and 1/2

Kazuo Hida, Ken'ichi Takano

Effects of single-site anisotropy on mixed diamond chains with spins 1 and 1/2 are investigated in the ground states and at finite temperatures. There are phases where the ground state is a spin cluster solid, i.e., an array of uncorrelated spin-1 clusters separated by singlet dimers. The ground state is nonmagnetic for the easy-plane anisotropy, while it is paramagnetic for the easy-axis anisotropy. Also, there are the Néel, Haldane, and large-$D$ phases, where the ground state is a single spin cluster of infinite size and the system is equivalent to the spin-1 Heisenberg chain with alternating anisotropy. The longitudinal and transverse susceptibilities and entropy are calculated at finite temperatures in the spin-cluster-solid phases. Their low-temperature behaviors are sensitive to anisotropy.

Ground-State Phase Diagram of \((1/2,1/2,1)\) Mixed Diamond Chains with Single-Site Anisotropy

Kazuo Hida

The ground-state phases of mixed diamond chains with ($S, τ^{(1)}, τ^{(2)})=(1/2,1/2,1)$, where $S$ is the magnitude of vertex spins, and $τ^{(1)}$ and $τ^{(2)}$ are those of apical spins, are investigated with the single-site anisotropy $D$ on the $τ^{(2)}$-site. The two apical spins in each unit cell are coupled by an exchange coupling $λ$. The vertex spins are coupled with the top and bottom apical spins by exchange couplings $1+δ$ and $1-δ$, respectively. The ground-state phase diagram is determined using the numerical exact diagonalization and DMRG method in addition to the analytical approximations in various limiting cases. The phase diagram consists of a Néel ordered phase, a nonmagnetic Tomonaga-Luttinger liquid phase, and quantized and partial ferrimagnetic phases. A region with anisotropy inversion is found where the Ising-like Néel phase is realized for the easy-plane anisotropy $D >0$ and the XY-like Tomonaga-Luttinger liquid phase is realized for the easy-axis anisotropy $D <0$ on the $S=1$ sites.

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.

Finite Temperature Properties of Mixed Diamond Chain with Spins 1 and 1/2

Kazuo Hida, Ken'ichi Takano, Hidenori Suzuki

We formulate statistical mechanics for the mixed diamond chain with spins of magnitudes 1 and 1/2. Owing to a series of conservation laws, any eigenstate of this system is decomposed into eigenstates of finite odd-length spin-1 chains. The ground state undergoes five quantum phase transitions with varying the parameter $λ$ controlling frustration. We obtain the values of the residual entropy and the Curie constant which characterize each phase and phase boundary at low temperatures. We further find various characteristic finite-temperature properties such as the nonmonotonic temperature dependence of the magnetic susceptibility, the multipeak structure in the $λ$-dependence of entropy, the plateau-like temperature dependence of entropy and the multipeak structure of specific heat.

Spin-1/2 asymmetric diamond Ising-Heisenberg chain

B. M. Lisnii

The ground state and the thermodynamics of a spin-1/2 asymmetric diamond Ising--Heisenberg chain are considered. For the $XYZ$ anisotropic Heisenberg interaction, the exact calculations of the free energy, entropy, heat capacity, magnetization, and magnetic susceptibility are performed using the method of decoration-iteration transformation. In the case of antiferromagnetic interactions (Ising and $XXZ$ anisotropic Heisenberg ones), the ground state, magnetization process, temperature dependence of the magnetization, magnetic susceptibility, and heat capacity are investigated. The influence of geometric frustration and quantum fluctuations on these characteristics is studied.

The two apical spins in each unit cell are coupled by an exchange coupling λλλ.
