In this paper, we study the magnetic properties of the one-dimensional SU(4) spin-orbital model by solving its Bethe-ansatz solution numerically. It is found that the magnetic properties of the system for the case of
gt=1.0 differs from that for the case of
gt=0.0. The magnetization curve and susceptibility are obtained for a system of 200 sites. For
0<gt<gs, the phase diagram depending on the magnetic field and ratio of Land\'e factors,
gt/gs, is obtained. Four phases with distinct magnetic properties are found.
We investigate ground-state properties of a one-dimensional S=1 spin-orbital model with or without uniaxial single-ion anisotropy. By means of the density matrix renormalization group method, we compute the ground-state energy, the magnetization curves and the correlation functions. We discuss how the ground-state properties depend on the two exchange couplings for orbital and spin sectors. The phase diagram obtained is compared with that for the S=1/2 model. We also address the effect of uniaxial single-ion anisotropy.
The excitation spectrum of the one-dimensional spin-orbital model in a magnetic field is studied, using a recently developed dynamical density-matrix renormalization-group technique. The method is applied to chains with up to 80 sites, and examined for test cases such as the one-dimensional spin-1/2 Heisenberg antiferromagnet whose excitation spectrum is known exactly from the Bethe ansatz. In the spin-orbital chain, the characteristic dynamical response depends strongly on the model parameters and the applied magnetic field. The coupling between the spin and orbital degrees of freedom is found to influence the incommensuration at finite magnetizations. In the regions of the phase diagram with only massive spin and orbital excitations, a finite field is required to overcome the spin gap. An orbital mode is found to become massless in this partially spin-polarized regime, indicating a strong coupling between the two degrees of freedom. In the critical region with three elementary gapless excitations, a prominent particle-hole excitation is observed at higher energies, promoted by the biquadratic term in the model Hamiltonian of the spin-orbital chain.
