Abstract

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 Phases of Anisotropic Mixed Diamond Chains with Spins 1 and 1/2

Kazuo Hida

The ground-state phases of anisotropic mixed diamond chains with spins 1 and 1/2 are investigated. Both single-site and exchange anisotropies are considered. We find the phases consisting of an array of uncorrelated spin-1 clusters separated by singlet dimers. Except in the simplest case where the cluster consists of a single $S=1$ spin, this type of ground state breaks the translational symmetry spontaneously. Although the mechanism leading to this type of ground state is the same as that in the isotropic case, it is nonmagnetic or paramagnetic depending on the competition between two types of anisotropy. We also find the Néel, period-doubled Néel, Haldane, and large-$D$ phases, where the ground state is a single spin cluster of infinite size equivalent to the spin-1 Heisenberg chain with alternating anisotropies. The ground-state phase diagrams are determined for typical sets of parameters by numerical analysis. In various limiting cases, the ground-state phase diagrams are determined analytically. The low-temperature behaviors of magnetic susceptibility and entropy are investigated to distinguish each phase by observable quantities. The relationship of the present model with the anisotropic rung-alternating ladder with spin-1/2 is also discussed.

Exact Thermodynamic Properties of \((1,1/2)\) Mixed Diamond Chains with Strong Single-Site Anisotropy

Ryuta Iwazaki, Kazuo Hida

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 Phases of Alternating-Bond S = 1 Diamond Chains

Kazuo Hida

The ground-state phases of alternating-bond spin-1 diamond chains are investigated. Each ground state consists of an array of spin clusters separated by singlet dimers owing to an infinite number of local conservation laws. If no singlet dimers are present, the ground state is equivalent to that of a spin chain with infinite length.For strong frustration, we find a series of quantum phase transitions as in the case of alternating-bond mixed diamond chains with spins 1 and 1/2. For intermediate frustration, we find the nonmagnetic Haldane or dimer phases according to whether the bond alternation is weak or strong. For weak frustration and weak bond alternation, we find the ferrimagnetic states with spontaneous magnetizations $m=1/6$ and 1/3 per site. The ferrimagnetic state with $m=1/6$ is accompanied by a spontaneous translational symmetry breakdown. This phase vanishes for strong bond alternation.

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.

Exact spin-cluster ground states in a mixed diamond chain

Ken'ichi Takano, Hidenori Suzuki, Kazuo Hida

The mixed diamond chain is a frustrated Heisenberg chain composed of successive diamond-shaped units with two kinds of spins of magnitudes $S$ and $S/2$ ($S$: integer). Ratio $\ensuremath{\lambda}$ of two exchange parameters controls the strength of frustration. With varying $\ensuremath{\lambda}$, the Haldane state and several spin-cluster states appear as the ground state. A spin-cluster state is a tensor product of exact local eigenstates of cluster spins. We prove that a spin-cluster state is the ground state in a finite interval of $\ensuremath{\lambda}$. For $S=1$, we numerically determine the total phase diagram consisting of five phases.

The ground-state phases of mixed diamond chains with (S,τ(1),τ(2))=(1/2,1/2,1)S, τ^{(1)}, τ^{(2)})=(1/2,1/2,1)S,τ(1),τ(2))=(1/2,1/2,1), where SSS is the magnitude of vertex spins, and τ(1)τ^{(1)}τ(1) and τ(2)τ^{(2)}τ(2) are those of apical spins, are investigated with the single-site anisotropy DDD on the τ(2)τ^{(2)}τ(2)-site. The two apical spins in each unit cell are coupled by an exchange coupling λλλ. The vertex spins are coupled with the top and bottom apical spins by exchange couplings 1+δ1+δ1+δ and 1−δ1-δ1−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>0D >0D>0 and the XY-like Tomonaga-Luttinger liquid phase is realized for the easy-axis anisotropy D<0D <0D<0 on the S=1S=1S=1 sites.
The mixed diamond chain is a frustrated Heisenberg chain composed of successive diamond-shaped units with two kinds of spins of magnitudes SSS and S/2S/2S/2 (SSS: integer). Ratio $\ensuremath{\lambda}$ of two exchange parameters controls the strength of frustration. With varying $\ensuremath{\lambda}$, the Haldane state and several spin-cluster states appear as the ground state. A spin-cluster state is a tensor product of exact local eigenstates of cluster spins. We prove that a spin-cluster state is the ground state in a finite interval of $\ensuremath{\lambda}$. For S=1S=1S=1, we numerically determine the total phase diagram consisting of five phases.
