Abstract

The $S=2$ quantum spin chain with the single-ion anisotropy $D$ and the biquadratic exchange interaction $J_{\rm BQ}$ is investigated using the numerical diagonalization of finite-size clusters and the level spectroscopy analysis. It is found that the intermediate-$D$ phase corresponding to the symmetry protected topological (SPT) phase appears in a wide region of the ground state phase diagram. We also obtain the phase diagram at the half of the saturation magnetization which includes the SPT plateau phase.

Magnetization plateau of the S=2 antiferromagnetic Heisenberg chain with anisotropies

Tôru Sakai, Kiyomi Okamoto, Takashi Tonegawa

We investigate the $S=2$ antiferromagnetic quantum spin chain with the exchange and single-ion anisotropies in a magnetic field, using the numerical exact diagonalization of finite-size clusters and the level spectroscopy analysis. It is found that a magnetization plateau possibly appears at half of the saturation magnetization for some suitable anisotropy parameters. The level spectroscopy analysis indicates that the 1/2 magnetization plateau is formed by two different mechanisms, depending on the anisotropy parameters. The phase diagram of the 1/2 plateau states and some typical magnetization curves are also presented. In addition, the biquadratic interaction is revealed to enhance the plateau induced by the Haldane mechanism.

The magnetization process of the $S=3/2$ quantum spin chain with the $XXZ$ anisotropy and the single-ion anisotropy $D$ is investigated using the numerical diagonalization of finite-size clusters and the level spectroscopy analysis. We obtain the phase diagrams at 1/3 and 2/3 of the saturation magnetization to find that the translational-symmetry-broken magnetization plateau appears for the first time. The similarity and the difference between the phase diagrams of the present model and the related models are discussed by use of the discrete parameters of the models. In addition several typical magnetization curves are presented.

The magnetization process of theantiferromagnetic chain with coupling and single-ion anisotropies is investigated using numerical diagonalization of finite-size clusters and level spectroscopy analysis. Various magnetization plateaux are found at 1/5, 2/5, 3/5, and 4/5 of the saturation magnetization. plateaux without translational symmetry breaking are predicted to occur at 1/5 and 3/5 magnetization. A symmetry-protected topological plateau phase is found at 3/5 magnetization, but not at 1/5. In addition translational-symmetry-broken plateaux induced by large coupling anisotropy are found at 1/5, 2/5, 3/5, and 4/5 magnetization. Phase diagrams at 1/5, 2/5, 3/5, and 4/5 of the saturation magnetization are obtained. Magnetization curves for several representative anisotropies are also presented, together with the corresponding magnetic phase diagrams.

Magnetization process of antiferromagnetic quantum spin chains with the biquadratic exchange interaction

Tôru Sakai

The magnetization processes of the S = 3/2 and S = 2 antiferromagnetic chains with the biquadratic interaction are investigated using the numerical diagonalization of the finite-size cluster. It is found that the system does not exhibit the spin nematic phase, which was predicted to occur for the S = 1 antiferromagnetic chain. Instead, the present analysis reveals that the quantum spin triatic and quatic liquid phases appear below the saturation magnetization for sufficiently large negative biquadratic interaction, for S = 3/2 and S = 2 chains, respectively. In addition it is also found that the magnetization jump up to the saturation magnetization appears for the small negative biquadratic interaction. The phase diagrams with respect to the negative biquadratic interaction and the magnetization are presented for the S = 3/2 and S = 2 antiferromagnetic chains.

The magnetization plateau of the S = 2 antiferromagnetic chain with interaction and singleion anisotropies is investigated using the numerical diagonalization of finite-size clusters and some size scaling analyses.The previous level spectroscopy analysis indicated that two different magnetization plateau phases appear at half of the saturation magnetization.One is due to the large-D mechanism and the other is due to the Haldane one.In the present study the phase diagram is extended to wider region of the anisotropies.As a result we find another half magnetization plateau phase, where the translational symmetry is spontaneously broken .

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.
