Exotic Quantum Phase Transitions in Spin Nanotubes

Recently some quantum spin systems on tube lattices, so called spin nanotubes, have been synthesized. They are expected to be interesting low-dimensional systems like the carbon nanotubes. As the first step of theoretical study on the spin nanotube, we investigate the S=1/2 three-leg spin tube, which is the simplest one, using the numerical exact diagonalization and the finite-size scaling analysis. In our previous works the quantum phase transition between the spin-gap and gapless phases was revealed to occur due to the asymmetric lattice distortion. In addition the transition between the magnetization plateau and gapless phases at 1/3 of the saturation magnetization induced by the same distortion. Recently we found that the Tomonaga-Luttinger liquid is realized in the 1/3 magnetization plateau phase for the symmetric three-leg spin tube.

The magnetization process of the S=1/2 three-leg spin tube with an asymmetric exchange interaction in each triangle unit is investigated by the numerical exact diagonalization and the density matrix renormalization group calculation.It is found that the 1/3 magnetization plateau appears due to two different mechanisms depending on the asymmetry.The phase diagrams of the 1/3 plateau is presented.In addition some cusp-like anomalies are found in the magnetization curve.

Exotic quantum phase transitions in the spin nanotube

Tôru Sakai, Masahiro Sato, Kouichi Okunishi +2 more

We investigate the S = 1/2 three-leg spin tube, which is the simplest spin nanotube, using the density matrix renormalization group (DMRG) and the numerical exact diagonalization (ED), conbined with a finite-size scaling analysis. Particularly, we intruduce the lattice distortion from the regular triangle unit to the isosceles one. In our previous works, we revealed that the S = 1/2 isosceles triangle spin tube exhibits following exotic quantum phenomena: the quantum phase transition between the spin gapped and gapless spin liquid phases, the 1/3 magnetization plateau due to two different mechanisms, and a new phase between the two plateau phases where the translational symmetry is spontaneously broken. We briefly review these results and show our new calculation of the expectation value of the magnetization at each site to specify the spin structure in the new field induced phase.
