Abstract

We introduce an approximate analytic solution for the S=1/2 one-dimensional antiferromagnetic Heisenberg model with coupling between nearest- and next-nearest-neighbor spins. Closed-form expressions for the ground state, its energy, and the excitations are obtained. The range of validity of the analytic approach is determined by comparing with numerical computations. Excellent agreement is obtained in a wide region of the parameter space.

Spin-1/2 Heisenberg antiferromagnet with anisotropic nearest- and next-nearest-neighbor coupling

William J. Massano, Janice D. Prie, Jay D. Mancini

A modified Lanczos method has been used to study the ground-state properties of a frustrated one-dimensional anisotropic Heisenberg antiferromagnet. The ground-state energy as well as all two-particle spin-spin correlation functions are obtained for a 16-site lattice. Both the relative couplings and anisotropies for nearest and next-nearest neighbors are varied.

Anisotropic spin-1/2 Heisenberg model with ferromagnetic and antiferromagnetic interactions

Jay D. Mancini, Janice D. Prie, William J. Massano

Using a reduced Lanczos scheme, we evaluate the ground-state energy and all two-particle correlation functions of a one-dimensional Heisenberg spin-1/2 model with antiferromagnetic nearest-neighbor and antiferromagnetic next-nearest-neighbor interactions. The effects of anisotropy are also considered.

One-Dimensional Isotropic Spin-1/2 Heisenberg Magnet with Ferromagnetic Nearest-Neighbor and Antiferromagnetic Next-Nearest-Neighbor Interactions

Takashi Tonegawa, Isao Harada

We study the ground-state and finite-temperature properties of the one-dimensional isotropic spin-1/2 Heisenberg magnet with ferromagnetic nearest-neighbor and antiferromagnetic next-nearest-neighbor interactions which compete with each other. Extrapolating the exact results for finite-size systems of up to 20 spins, we estimate the ground-state energy and the ground-state two-spin correlation function in the infinite-size limit. Using the cluster transfer matrix method, we also calculate the temperature dependence of the internal energy and the specific heat and that of the inverse correlation length and the wave number, by both of which the asymptotic behavior of the two-spin correlation function in the long-distance limit is characterized. We compare the results of these calculations with those obtained previously for the case where the nearest-neighbor interaction is antiferromagnetic.

Ground-State Properties of the One-Dimensional Anisotropic Spin-1/2 Heisenberg Magnet with Competing Interactions

Takashi Tonegawa, I. Harada, J.-i. Igarashi

Ground-state properties are studied for the one-dimensional anisotropic spin-1/2 Heisenberg magnet with ferromagnetic nearest-neighbor and antiferromagnetic next-nearest-neighbor interactions, which are assumed to have the same form as regards the anisotropy. The singlet-triplet energy gap, the magnetization, the energy, and the two-spin correlation function in the ground states of finite-size systems of up to 20 spins are calculated exactly. By extrapolating these results, the values of the above quantities at the infinite-size limit are estimated. Special attention is paid to the limiting ground-state phase diagram on the plane of the ratio of the next-nearest-neighbor interaction constant to the nearest-neighbor one versus the anisotropy parameter. It is found that, when the interactions have the XY-type anisotropy, the limiting ground state is in the spin-fiuid phase or in the dimer phase depending upon whether the ratio between the interaction constants is smaller or larger than a critical value. It is also found that, when the interactions have the Ising-type anisotropy, a novel phase with unsaturated magnetization appears between the ferromagnetic and (2, 2) antiphase phases in the limiting ground-state phase diagram.

Two-dimensional axial third-nearest-neighbor Ising model and theS=1/2 anisotropic Heisenberg chain

Marcelo D. Grynberg, Horacio Ceva

We consider an axial Ising model with competing interactions up to third neighbors within a low-temperature approximation in terms of interacting and nonreversing domain walls. Assuming small third-neighbor coupling, we find a close relation between the transfer matrix of this classical model and the Hamiltonian of an S=1/2 anisotropic Heisenberg chain in a uniform magnetic field. This connection allows us to obtain the phase boundaries of the ferromagnetic and other low-temperature modulated states. The ground-state energy for arbitrary magnetization values of the Heisenberg chain is shown to provide information about the density of walls or wave number. In contrast with the two-dimensional axial next-nearest-neighbor Ising model, this quantity displays plateaus and reentrant behavior for some relations among the coupling constants. An alternative way to evaluate correlation functions in the antiferromagnetic Heisenberg chain is presented.

Study of the ground state of the one-dimensional Heisenberg spin-1/2 chain

K.R. de Ruiter

We discuss the ground state of the Heisenberg spin-1/2 chain in one dimension, considering nearest neighbor interactions. In the thermodynamic limit the energy is calculated analytically in several ways. We start by applying the Bethe ansatz to calculate the exact ground state energy of the XXX Heisenberg model. Next we study small perturbations of the spin anisotropy, the parameter for the interaction in the z-direction for the XXZ model, by applying time-independent perturbation theory. In addition we expand an exact integral expression of the energy of the XXZ model around the spin anisotropy in the thermodynamic limit. The results are compared to numerical solutions, which are obtained by means of exact diagonalization up to twelve lattice sites. We find that for ten or more lattice sites the numerics agree well with the expectation from the analytical calculations. Finally the concept of integrability is discussed in the context of the Heisenberg model.
