Spin transport properties in Heisenberg antiferromagnetic spin chains: Spin current induced by twisted boundary magnetic fields

Wei Zhuo, Xiaoqun Wang, Yupeng Wang

Spin transport properties of the one-dimensional Heisenberg antiferromagnetic spin systems for both $S=1∕2$ and $S=1$ are studied by applying twisted boundary magnetic field. The spin current displays significantly different behavior of the spin transport properties between $S=1∕2$ and $S=1$ cases. For the spin-half case, a London equation for the current and the detection of an alternating electric field are proposed for the linear response regime. The correlation functions reveal the spiral nature of spin configuration for both ground state and the spinon excitations. For the spin-one chain otherwise, a kink generated in the ground state for the size is larger than the correlation length, leading to an exponential dependence of spin current with respect to the chains length. The midgap state emerges from the degenerate ground state even for small boundary fields.

Magnetic Properties of Antiferromagnetic Heisenberg Linear Chain

Takao Todani, 和子 川崎

By the Green’s function method, where spin operators are transformed to fermion operators, an antiferromagnetic Heisenberg chain system has been investigated within the Hartree-Fock approximation. The static correlation ≪SzkSz-k> cannot be reduced to the Ornstein-Zernike form and has no singularity at k=π. The absorption function χzz’’(k,ω) cannot be expressed by the δ-function-like spectrum even at 0°K, but rather by a narrow diffused one, which is due to the two-magnon process. The present dispersion relation has a gap at k=π for T=0°K. The second order phase transition, then, may not occur in the linear chain. The results obtained are discussed comparing with those in the X-Y model and experimental data on TMMC.

Thermodynamics around magnetic phase transitions in alternating double-chain spin systems

Linjie Ding, Yuan Zhong, Shuaiwei Fan +1 more

The thermodynamics and quantum phase transitions of two typically alternating double-chain systems are investigated by Green's function theory. (i) For the completely antiferromagnetic (AFM) alternating double-chain, the low-temperature antiferromagnetism with gapped behavior is observed, which is in accordance with the experimental result. In a magnetic field, we unveil the ground state phase diagram with zero plateau, 1/2 plateau, and polarized ferromagnetic (FM) phases, as a result of the intra-cluster spin-singlet competition. Furthermore, the Grüneisen ratio is an excellent tool to identify the quantum criticality and testify various quantum phases. (ii) For the antiferromagnetically coupled FM alternating chains, the 1/2 magnetization plateau and double-peak structure of specific heat appear, which are also observed experimentally. Nevertheless, the M — h curve shows an anomalous behavior in an ultra-low field, which is ascribed to the effectively weak Haldane-like state, demonstrated by the two-site entanglement entropy explicitly.
