Abstract

We study finite spin-$\tfrac12$ rings with nearest-neighbor Heisenberg exchange, Dzyaloshinsky--Moriya interaction, and an external magnetic field. We introduce an interpolation parameter between the fully quantum Hamiltonian and a state-dependent mean-field description. Using dissipative Gisin--Schrödinger dynamics, we analyze the resulting quantum--classical crossover through local magnetization, connected spin correlations, single-site entropy, and the saturation field of the fully polarized state.

Quantum phase transitions in low-dimensional quantum spin systems with incommensurate magnetic structures

Andrei A. Zvyagin

Several exactly solvable quantum spin models with incommensurate magnetic structures, which manifest quantum phase transitions between incommensurate and commensurate phases, are proposed. The ground-state and thermodynamic characteristics of these quantum spin antiferromagnetic models with the Dzyaloshinsky-Moriya antisymmetric exchange interaction and spin-frustrating next-nearest-neighbor, three-spin, and four-spin (ring exchange) interactions are exactly studied. We investigated the ground state phases of the considered models, as function of the magnetic anisotropy, Dzyaloshinsky-Moriya interaction, next-nearest-neighbor coupling constants, and external magnetic field. Several quantum phase transitions between magnetically incommensurate phases and between incommensurate and ferromagnetic phases are predicted, and the behavior of thermodynamic characteristics of those models at phase transitions is studied. We have shown that for models with chiral three-spin interactions the Dzyaloshinsky-Moriya coupling yields the onset of the weak ferromagnetism, similar to three-dimensional ordered antiferromagnets, but not present in other quantum spin chains with the antisymmetric exchange. Considered models appeared to be important for several quasi-one-dimensional spin systems, studied in recent experiments.

Field-induced crossover behavior in quantum Heisenberg spin glasses with random-anisotropy axes

T. K. Kopeć, G. Büttner

The infinite-range quantum Heisenberg spin-glass model with random-anisotropy axes and external magnetic field (h) is studied by means of the thermofield dynamics for the spin value S=1/2. The stability of the mean-field-type solution against the action of fluctuations has been evaluated in the presence of h leading to the upper and lower critical lines in the field-temperature (h-T) plane. For small values of the anisotropy variance we find a crossover of the upper critical line from the de Almeida--Thouless-type behavior for small fields to the Gabay-Toulouse-like behavior for large fields and a reversed type of behavior at the lower critical line for corresponding values of the random anisotropy---in close analogy to the recently analyzed quantum vector spin glass with random Dzyaloshinsky-Moriya interactions.

Thermal quantum correlations in a two-qubit Heisenberg model under Calogero–Moser and Dzyaloshinsky–Moriya interactions

A. Sbiri, Mansoura Oumennana, Mostafa Mansour

In this paper, we investigate the pairwise quantum correlations in a two-qubit anisotropic Heisenberg model under the interplay of Calogero–Moser (CM) and Dzyaloshinsky–Moriya (DM) interactions in the presence of the homogeneous and inhomogeneous magnetic fields. We employ, respectively, the logarithmic negativity and local quantum uncertainty (LQU) to characterize the degree of entanglement and the amount of quantum correlations between the two parties of the considered system in equilibrium with a thermal reservoir. We analyze and compare the behaviors of the two quantum correlation quantifiers in the thermal state of the chain spin system and we discuss how relative distance between spins, equilibrium temperature, DM interaction coupling parameter and the external magnetic fields strengths influence the variations of both quantum correlation measures in such system.

Heisenberg Hamiltonian with a Dzyaloshinski-Moriya interaction

Indrani Bose, Uma Bhaumik

The spin- 1/2 ferromagnetic Heisenberg Hamiltonian with a Dzyaloshinski-Moriya interaction and in the presence of a strong magnetic field is studied in one dimension. Using the exact Bethe ansatz analysis, the excitation spectrum of one- and two-magnon states is derived. It is further shown that in certain parameter regimes the two-magnon bound state exists in the full range of allowed values of the centre-of-mass momentum wavevector k.

The dynamics of one-dimensional random quantumXYsystem with Dzyaloshinskii—Moriya interaction

Yin-Fang Li, Xiang-Mu Kong

In this paper, the effects of random variables on the dynamics of the s = 1/2 XY model with the Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interaction are studied. By means of the recurrence relation method in the high-temperature limit, we calculate the spin autocorrelation functions as well as the corresponding spectral densities for the cases that the exchange couplings between spins or external magnetic fields satisfy the double-Gaussian distribution. It is found that when the standard deviation of random exchange coupling δ J (or the standard deviation of random external field δ B ) is small, the dynamics of the system undergoes a crossover from a collective-mode behavior to a central-peak one. However, when δ J (or δ B ) is large, the crossover vanishes, and the system shows a central-peak behavior or the most disordered one. We also analyze the cases in which the exchange couplings or the external fields satisfy the bimodal and the Gaussian distributions. Our results show that for all the cases considered, the dynamics of the above system is similar to that of the one-dimensional random XY model.

Quantum phase transitions and thermodynamics of quantum antiferromagnets with next-nearest-neighbor couplings

Andrei A. Zvyagin, Andreas Klümper

We study quantum spin models with nearest- and next-nearest-neighbor exchange interactions by means of exact solutions. Depending on the representation, the models can also be viewed as spin ladders with interchain couplings and with ring biquadratic spin-spin interactions. The ground-state phase diagram is constructed as a function of the next-nearest-neighbor couplings and an external magnetic field. Several quantum phase transitions in the ground state, including the possibility of a first-order quantum phase transition, governed by the external magnetic field, are predicted. The low-energy conformal behavior of the low-lying excitations is studied in the commensurate and incommensurate phases. Finally, the properties of the models at finite temperature are studied exactly. A finite set of nonlinear integral equations determining the thermodynamic potential at arbitrary temperature and external magnetic field is derived and solved in several important cases. The results for the magnetic susceptibility and the Sommerfeld coefficient of the specific heat are presented.
