Exact solution of the integrable XXZ Heisenberg model with arbitrary spin. I. The ground state and the excitation spectrum

Abstract

An integrable generalisation of the XXZ Heisenberg model with arbitrary spin and with light plane type anisotropy is studied. Integral equations describing the thermodynamics of the model are found. The antiferromagnetic ground state, the excitation spectrum, the quantum numbers and scattering amplitudes of the excitations are determined.

Finite-size effects in the integrable XXZ Heisenberg model with arbitrary spin

Holger Frahm, Naichang Yu

The finite-size effects in the spectrum of the integrable XXZ Heisenberg chain with arbitrary spin-S are studied analytically on the basis of the string hypothesis for bound states and numerically by solving the associated Bethe ansatz equations. The finite-size corrections to the spectrum and to the low-temperature behaviour of the free energy are found to be similar to the universal predictions for conformally invariant theories, although the model is, in general, not Lorentz invariant, since it can have an arbitrary number of branches for low-energy excitations with different Fermi velocities depending on the value of S and the anisotropy parameter gamma .

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.

Introduction to Integrable Many-Body Systems II

Ladislav Šamaj

Introduction to Integrable Many-Body Systems II This is the second part of a three-volume introductory course about integrable systems of interacting bodies. The models of interest are quantum spin chains with nearest-neighbor interactions between spin operators, in particular Heisenberg spin-1/2 models. The Ising model in a transverse field, expressible as a quadratic fermion form by using the Jordan-Wigner transformation, is the subject of Sect. 12. The derivation of the coordinate Bethe ansatz for the XXZ Heisenberg chain and the determination of its absolute ground state in various regions of the anisotropy parameter are presented in Sect. 13. The magnetic properties of the ground state are explained in Sect. 14. Sect. 15 concerns excited states and the zero-temperature thermodynamics of the XXZ model. The thermodynamics of the XXZ Heisenberg chain is derived on the basis of the string hypothesis in Sect. 16; the thermodynamic Bethe ansatz equations are analyzed in high-temperature and low-temperature limits. An alternative derivation of the thermodynamics without using strings, leading to a non-linear integral equation determining the free energy, is the subject of Sect. 17. A nontrivial application of the Quantum Inverse Scattering method to the fully anisotropic XYZ Heisenberg chain is described in Sect. 18. Sect. 19 deals with integrable cases of isotropic spin chains with an arbitrary spin.

Exact solution of the one-dimensional anisotropict-Jmodel: ground-state properties and the excitation spectrum

Ryuhei Sato

The one-dimensional anisotropic t - J model was exactly solved using the Bethe ansatz . We first discuss the effect of anisotropy on the ground-state properties. We find a continuous phase transition induced by a magnetic field. The low-lying (spin and charge) excitation spectrum is obtained for various fillings. According to the anisotropy, the model has massive or massless modes for spin excitations. At half-filling, the model reduces to the spin- antiferromagnetic XXZ -model. We calculate the correct excitation continuum whose lowest mode is lower than that obtained by des Cloizeaux and Gaudin. Charge excitations are massless for any value of the anisotropy.

Excitation spectrum of a generalised Heisenberg ferromagnetic spin chain with arbitrary spin

F. D. M. Haldane

The m-magnon bound state (or soliton) excitation spectrum of an exactly solvable generalisation of the Heisenberg spin chain with arbitrary S is described. It is in qualitative agreement with predictions based on the classical continuum model. The classical limit of the generalised model is obtained.
