For the
S=21,
XY model of a quantum lattice fluid or a ferromagnet the conventional order parameter does not commute with the Hamiltonian. As a result, the mean-square fluctuation of the order parameter and the isothermal susceptibility are not related in the usual way the general fluctuation theorem. For the above model, arguments are here presented to support the idea that as $T\ensuremath{\rightarrow}{T}_{c}$ the quantum effect due to the noncommutation becomes masked and the two quantities have the same critical behavior. This work is consistent with the exact results of Falk and Bruch who defined a certain moment of the spectral density and used inequalities to establish that if the moment \ensuremath{\rightarrow} 0 as $T\ensuremath{\rightarrow}{T}_{c}$, then the susceptibility-fluctuation ratio becomes unity thus ensuring coinciding critical behavior. The latter result applies to a large class of models including the one considered here.
In this paper we systematize the real-space dynamic-renormalization-group method we developed elsewhere. We treat the two-dimensional kinetic Ising model with relaxational dynamics defined on a square lattice. We show how one can set up a systematic perturbation-theory expansion which treats the coupling between cells of spins as a small parameter. The novel feature of the expansion is that it provides a method for determining the appropriate effective interaction between spins in a set of uncoupled cells. By obtaining a good zeroth-order approximation for a set of uncoupled cells, one finds that the effective interaction between cells is reduced. Similar ideas are also applied to the dynamics of the problem and we indicate how one can obtain a good zeroth-order approximation in terms of the dynamics of uncoupled cells. We couple these perturbation theory ideas to the real-space dynamic-renormalization-group method and carry out explicit calculations of a variety of observable quantities including the magnetic susceptibility, specific heat, static structure factor, time-dependent spin-autocorrelation function, and the dynamic structure factor. In every case we obtain excellent results in keeping with the scaling behavior near the phase transition and the high-temperature limit.
The longitudinal susceptibility for the
S=21XY model on cubic lattices is discussed on the basis of its relationship to the free energy. A series expansion for the susceptibility is developed and its behavior is studied at an asymptotic limit. The asymptotic behavior of the series expansion shows that the longitudinal susceptibility is nondivergent at the critical point
Tc, its "singular" part behaving as ${(T\ensuremath{-}{T}_{c})}^{\ensuremath{-}\ensuremath{\alpha}+1}$, where $\ensuremath{\alpha}$ is the specific-heat exponent. A related quantity, the partial longitudinal susceptibility, which is important in the study of spin dynamics, is also shown to have a similar nondivergent critical behavior.
Twenty coefficients are presented in the exact high frequency, high temperature expansion of the perpendicular susceptibility of the spin-1/2 XY model on the f.c.c. lattice. Padé approximant analysis reveals a weak high frequency, temperature independent singularity at ω ≈ (14 ± 2)J/h which we identify with a "quasi-atomic" resonance at ω = 12J/h. We also find a strong singularity at a lower frequency which decreases with decreasing temperature, and for which we have not yet found a satisfying explanation.
One-dimensional quantum spin-1/2 XY models admit the rigorous analysis not only of their static properties (i.e. the thermodynamic quantities and the equal-time spin correlation functions) but also of their dynamic properties (i.e. the different-time spin correlation functions, the dynamic susceptibilities, the dynamic structure factors).This becomes possible after exploiting the Jordan-Wigner transformation which reduces the spin model to a model of spinless noninteracting fermions.A number of dynamic quantities (e.g.related to transverse spin operator or dimer operator fluctuations) are entirely determined by two-fermion excitations and can be examined in much detail.We consider the spin-1/2 XY chain in a transverse ( z) magnetic field with the Hamiltonianand calculate the dynamic structure factorsis the dimer operator.The results for the dynamic transverse structure factor S zz (κ, ω) and for the dynamic dimer structure factor S DD (κ, ω) are known, whereas the analysis of the dynamic structure factor S zD (κ, ω) = (S Dz (κ, ω)) has not been reported so far.We compare different two-fermion dynamic quantities contrasting their generic and specific features.
A zero-temperature real-space renormalization-group method for quantum systems is applied to the
S=21XY model with a
Z field with the Hamiltonian $H=\ensuremath{-}\frac{1}{2}J\ensuremath{\Sigma}{〈i, j〉}^{}[(1+\ensuremath{\gamma}){S}_{i}^{x}{S}_{j}^{x}+(1\ensuremath{-}\ensuremath{\gamma}){S}_{i}^{y}{S}_{j}^{y}]\ensuremath{-}h\ensuremath{\Sigma}{i}^{}{S}_{i}^{z}$ on quadratic, triangular, and hexagonal lattices in two dimensions (2D) and on a cubic lattice in 3D. In all the isotropic ($\ensuremath{\gamma}=0$) 2D cases the method gives no order in the ground state
∣0〉 but changes in the correlation functions at ${(\frac{h}{J})}_{c}=\frac{1}{2}{z}^{\ensuremath{'}}$ [${z}^{\ensuremath{'}}$ is the number of nearest neighbors (NN)] are observed. An argument is presented that at
(Jh)c the method becomes exact in the limit of infinite-size spin blocks. It is suggested that the correlation functions $〈0|{{S}_{0}}^{\ensuremath{\alpha}}{{S}_{R}}^{\ensuremath{\alpha}}|0〉$ ($\ensuremath{\alpha}=x, y$) for large
R have a power-law behavior $\ensuremath{\sim}{R}^{\ensuremath{-}\ensuremath{\eta}}$ for
0< ∣Jh∣<∣(Jh)c∣ with $\ensuremath{\eta}\ensuremath{\approx}1.5$ for
∣Jh∣<(Jh)c∣ and $\ensuremath{\eta}=2$ at
(Jh)c. The dynamical exponent
z is obtained to be \ensuremath{\approx} 0.3 for $|\frac{h}{J}|<\frac{1}{2}{z}^{\ensuremath{'}}$ and at
(Jh)c close to 2. An indirect method of calculating the ground-state energy is developed, and the results are compared with the known estimates. For $\ensuremath{\gamma}\ensuremath{\ne}0$ and
h=0 the $\ensuremath{\gamma}$ dependences of the order in the ground state ${\ensuremath{\mu}}^{x}(\ensuremath{\gamma})$ is calculated to be ${\ensuremath{\mu}}^{x}\ensuremath{\sim}{\ensuremath{\gamma}}^{0.21}$ for $\ensuremath{\gamma}\ensuremath{\rightarrow}0$ and
h=0. In a 3D cubic lattice ($\ensuremath{\gamma}=0$) the analysis of recursion relations indicates the existence of order, in accord with recent exact theorems.
