Exact solution of the one-dimensional anisotropict-Jmodel: ground-state properties and the excitation spectrum
Ryuhei Sato
Abstract
The one-dimensional anisotropic t - J model was exactly solved using the Bethe ansatz . We first discuss the effect of anisotropy on the ground-state properties. We find a continuous phase transition induced by a magnetic field. The low-lying (spin and charge) excitation spectrum is obtained for various fillings. According to the anisotropy, the model has massive or massless modes for spin excitations. At half-filling, the model reduces to the spin- antiferromagnetic XXZ -model. We calculate the correct excitation continuum whose lowest mode is lower than that obtained by des Cloizeaux and Gaudin. Charge excitations are massless for any value of the anisotropy.
