Abstract

Abstract We study the delta-chain with spin-1 on basal sites and spin- 1 2 on apical sites. The Heisenberg interaction between neighbor basal spins is antiferromagnetic (AF) and the interaction between basal and apical spins is ferromagnetic (F). We show that the magnetization curve of this model is the same as that of the spin- 1 2 kagome-like chain with competing Heisenberg interactions. The ground state phase diagram of the latter as a function of the ratio between the AF and F interaction, α, consists of the ferromagnetic, ferrimagnetic and singlet phases. We study the magnetic properties in each ground state phase and analyze the magnetization curves. We show that there are magnetization plateaus and jumps in definite regions of value α. We compare the magnetic properties of considered models with those of the spin- 1 2 delta chain.

Heisenberg–Ising delta-chain with bond alternation

D V Dmitriev, V Ya Krivnov

The spin-[Formula: see text] delta-chain (sawtooth chain) with antiferromagnetic Heisenberg basal chain and Ising apical-basal interactions is studied. The basal-apical interactions involve the bond alternation. The limiting cases of the model include the symmetrical delta-chain and the antiferromagnetic chain in the staggered magnetic field. We study ground state properties of the model by the exact diagonalization and density matrix renormalization group methods. The ground state phase diagram as a function of the bond alternation consists of magnetic and various non-magnetic phases. All phases excluding the ferrimagnetic phase are gapped and an origin of the gaps is cleared.

Spin Chain Ferrimagnetism with Competing Exchange Interactions

V. Ya. Krivnov, Д. В. Дмитриев

Abstract A quantum spin model of a delta chain with exchange interactions of ferro- (F) and antiferromagnetic (AF) types is studied. The model properties significantly depend on the frustration parameter α (the ratio of the constants of AF and F interactions). When α < 1/2, the ground state is ferromagnetic, and at α = 1/2, a quantum phase transition occurs to another phase. Based on the numerical calculations and analysis of the model at large values of α it is concluded that the ground state at α > 1/2 is magnetically ordered and the total spin of the ground state is half the maximum possible spin. Comparison of the properties of the ground state of the classical and quantum models shows that the considered model is an example of a system in which quantum effects are responsible for the appearance of order from disorder.

Magnetic properties of ferro-antiferromagnetic spin triangle chain

Д. В. Дмитриев, V. Ya. Krivnov

Frustrated spin-12model consisting of a linear chain of triangles with ferro (F)- and antiferromagnetic interactions connected by ferromagnetic interactions (triangles chain) is studied. The ground state phase diagram depending on the interaction ratios consists of ferromagnetic, two ferrimagnetic and singlet phases. The magnetic properties in these phases are analyzed both analytically and numerically. We show that in some regions of the singlet phase the magnetization curves have magnetization plateau and magnetization jumps. We study the thermodynamics and its relation to the specific structure of the excitation spectrum of the triangle chain.

Ferrimagnetism in delta chain with anisotropic ferromagnetic and antiferromagnetic interactions

Д. В. Дмитриев, V. Ya. Krivnov

We consider analytically and numerically an anisotropic spin-[Formula: see text] delta-chain (sawtooth chain) in which exchange interactions between apical and basal spins are ferromagnetic and those between basal spins are antiferromagnetic. In the limit of strong anisotropy of exchange interactions this model can be considered as the Ising delta chain with macroscopic degenerate ground state perturbed by transverse quantum fluctuations. These perturbations lift the ground state degeneracy and the model reduces to the basal XXZ spin chain in the magnetic field induced by static apical spins. We show that the ground state of such a model is ferrimagnetic. The excitations of the model are formed by ferrimagnetic domains separated by domain walls with a finite energy. At low temperatures the system is effectively divided into two independent subsystems, the apical subsystem described by the Ising spin-[Formula: see text] chain and the basal subsystem described by the XXZ chain with infinite zz interactions.

Kagome-like chains with anisotropic ferromagnetic and antiferromagnetic interactions

Д. В. Дмитриев, V. Ya. Krivnov

We consider a spin-[Formula: see text] kagome-like chain with competing ferro- and antiferromagnetic anisotropic exchange interactions. The ground state phase diagram of this model consists of the ferromagnetic and ferrimagnetic phases. We study the ground state and the low-temperature properties on the phase boundary between these phases. The ground state on this phase boundary is macroscopically degenerate and consists of localized magnon states. We calculate the ground state degeneracy and corresponding residual entropy. The spontaneous magnetization has a jump on the phase boundary confirming the first-order type of the phase transition. In the limit of a strong anisotropy, the spectrum of the low-energy excitations has multi-scale structure governing the peculiar features of the specific heat behavior.

Magnetic properties ofJ–J–J′ quantum Heisenberg chains with spinS= 1/2, 1, 3/2 and 2 in a magnetic field

Bo Gu, Gang Su, Song Gao

By means of the density matrix renormalization group (DMRG) method, the magnetic properties of the J-J-J$^{\prime}$ quantum Heisenberg chains with spin $S=1/2$, 1, 3/2 and 2 in the ground states are investigated in the presence of a magnetic field. Two different cases are considered: (a) when $J$ is antiferromagnetic and $J^{\prime}$ is ferromagnetic (i.e. the AF-AF-F chain), the system is a ferrimagnet. The plateaus of the magnetization are observed. It is found that the width of the plateaus decreases with increasing the ferromagnetic coupling, and disappears when $% J^{\prime}/J$ passes over a critical value. The saturated field is observed to be independent of the ferromagnetic coupling; (b) when $J$ is ferromagnetic and $J^{\prime}$ is antiferromagnetic (i.e. the F-F-AF chain), the system becomes an antiferromagnet. The plateaus of the magnetization are also seen. The width of the plateaus decreases with decreasing the antiferromagnetic coupling, and disappears when $J^{\prime}/J $ passes over a critical value. Though the ground state properties are quite different, the magnetization plateaus in both cases tend to disappear when the ferromagnetic coupling becomes more dominant. Besides, no fundamental difference between the systems with spin half-integer and integer has been found.
