Longitudinal Spin Correlation in Spin-1/2 DimerizedXYChain. II. Finite Temperature
Kiyomi Okamoto
Abstract
We exactly calculate the long-distance asymptotic behavior of the longitudinal spin correlation \(R{\equiv}\langle S_{\imath}^{z}S_{\jmath}^{z}\rangle\) of the spin-1/2 dimerized XY chain at finite temperatures. The spin correlation R decays in the exponential law with the correlation length ξ( T ), which decreases with the increase of T . The present results are compared with those obtained by the use of the phase Hamiltonian method.
