Abstract

One-dimensional spin- anisotropic Heisenberg antiferromagnet in a longitudinal external magnetic field is studied using bosonization method and Gaussian wave functional techniques which take account of the spatial structure. The magnetization and the energy of the ground state which depend on the external magnetic field are calculated. For the case of anisotropic parameter , increasing of the external magnetic field above the threshold value leads to the appearance of the soliton lattice state in the ground state, until to an another critical field where the ground state changes to the canted state phase. Therefore, with increasing external magnetic field, the ground state experiences four different phases successively, namely, antiferromagnetic Ising, soliton lattice state canted state, and magnetization saturated phases. When , the soliton lattice state phase does not appear, with increasing external field, the paramagnetic phase smoothly evolves into the canted state phase, finally reaches magnetization saturated phase.

EFFECT OF EXTERNAL MAGNETIC FIELD ON LOW-ENERGY BEHAVIOR OF ONE-DIMENSIONAL HEISENBERG CHAIN

GAO YANG, Yumei Zhang, Chen Hong +1 more

Spin-1/2 anisotropic Heisenberg chain in longitudinal external magnetic field is studied by traditional Jordan-Wigner transformation and bosonization method. In the presence of an external field, both Fermi velocity and Fermi momentum are changed, thus the bosonization procedure is also changed. The antiferromagnetic phase and paramagnetic phase are discussed and the dependence of ground state energy and magnetization on the field are calculated and depicted for some typical cases.

Anisotropic Heisenberg antiferromagnet in the presence of a magnetic field for arbitrary dimension and spin

C. Millán, David Gottlieb

In this work we study the Heisenberg XXZ antiferromagnetic model for spin S and dimension d in the presence of an external longitudinal magnetic field. First, we essay a variational approach which uses as trial function a version of the analytic expression for the ground state given by the paired nonmagnetic excitation (PNME) theory [M. Lagos and G. G. Cabrera, Solid State Commun. 67, 221 (1988); Phys. Rev. B 38, 659 (1988)], generalized in order to incorporate the external field. The ground-state energy, sublattice magnetization, and magnetic susceptibility are obtained. Subsequently, we solve the problem numerically for a chain of 12 spins (S=1 and S=3/2) using the Lancz\"os method [E. Dagotto and A. Moreo, Phys. Rev. D 31, 865 (1985)]. The two approaches give excellent concordance over a wide range of the parameters of the model. We show that our analytic trial function represents accurately the ground state of the system for anisotropies ranging from the Ising limit to the almost isotropic Heisenberg model for all values of the field. Moreover, it accounts for the several antiferromagnetic and ferromagnetic phases occurring for different values of the magnetic field with the same precision. The critical fields of the transitions are predicted correctly. Also, results for various spin values S in two and three dimensions are presented.

Role of the spin anisotropy of the interchain interaction in weakly coupled antiferromagnetic Heisenberg chains*

Yuchen Fan, Rong Yu

In quasi-one-dimensional (q1D) quantum antiferromagnets, the complicated interplay of intrachain and interchain exchange couplings may give rise to rich phenomena. Motivated by recent progress on field-induced phase transitions in the q1D antiferromagnetic (AFM) compound YbAlO3, we study the phase diagram of spin-1/2 Heisenberg chains with Ising anisotropic interchain couplings under a longitudinal magnetic field via large-scale quantum Monte Carlo simulations, and investigate the role of the spin anisotropy of the interchain coupling on the ground state of the system. We find that the Ising anisotropy of the interchain coupling can significantly enhance the longitudinal spin correlations and drive the system to an incommensurate AFM phase at intermediate magnetic fields, which is understood as a longitudinal spin density wave (LSDW). With increasing field, the ground state changes to a canted AFM order with transverse spin correlations. We further provide a global phase diagram showing how the competition between the LSDW and the canted AFM states is tuned by the Ising anisotropy of the interchain coupling.

Phase diagram of the antiferromagneticXXZmodel in the presence of an external magnetic field

A. Langari

The anisotropic $s=\frac{1}{2}$ antiferromagnetic Heisenberg chain in the presence of an external magnetic field is studied by using the standard quantum renormalization group (RG). We obtain the critical line of the transition from the partially magnetized (PM) phase to the saturated ferromagnetic phase. The crossover exponent between the PM phase and antiferromagnetic Ising phase is evaluated. Our results show that the anisotropy $(\ensuremath{\Delta})$ term is relevant and causes crossover. These results indicate that the standard RG approach yields fairly good values for the critical points and their exponents. The magnetization curve, correlation functions, and the ground state energy per site are obtained and compared with the known exact results.

Heisenberg spin- 12 XXZ chain in the presence of electric and magnetic fields

Pradeep K. Thakur, P. Durganandini

We study the interplay of electric and magnetic order in the one-dimensional Heisenberg spin-$\frac{1}{2}$ XXZ chain with large Ising anisotropy in the presence of the Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya (DM) interaction and with longitudinal and transverse magnetic fields, interpreting the DM interaction as a coupling between the local electric polarization and an external electric field. We obtain the ground state phase diagram using the density matrix renormalization group method and compute various ground state quantities like the magnetization, staggered magnetization, electric polarization and spin correlation functions, etc. In the presence of both longitudinal and transverse magnetic fields, there are three different phases corresponding to a gapped N\'eel phase with antiferromagnetic (AF) order, gapped saturated phase, and a critical incommensurate gapless phase. The external electric field modifies the phase boundaries but does not lead to any new phases. Both external magnetic fields and electric fields can be used to tune between the phases. We also show that the transverse magnetic field induces a vector chiral order in the N\'eel phase (even in the absence of an electric field) which can be interpreted as an electric polarization in a direction parallel to the AF order.
