Abstract

We have calculated the spin-spin correlations in the ground state of spin-1/2, one-dimensional, antiferromagnetic Heisenberg chain numerically. Using improved algorithms, we have been able to perform exact diagonalizations for lattices up to 30 sites and quantum Monte Carlo simulations for lattices up to 512 sites. This extensive range allows us to investigate the logarithmic dependence of spin-spin correlations. We present our results and discuss their implications.

Monte Carlo calculations of the correlation functions for Heisenberg spin chains atT=0

We compute the ground-state spin-spin correlation function for the one-dimensional antiferromagnetic Heisenberg model of spin 1/2, 1, and 3/2. The spin-1 chain has a disordered ground state with a correlation length of 6.2 lattice spacings whereas the spin-1/2 and the spin-3/2 chains both have (ln(r)${)}^{\mathrm{\ensuremath{\sigma}}}$/r decaying correlation functions. The logarithmic corrections are different for the spin-1/2 and the spin-3/2 chains. Finite-size scaling is used to analyze the data for chains of up to 128 spins.We compute the ground-state spin-spin correlation function for the one-dimensional antiferromagnetic Heisenberg model of spin 1/2, 1, and 3/2.

Study of the ground state of the one-dimensional Heisenberg spin-1/2 chain

K.R. de Ruiter

We discuss the ground state of the Heisenberg spin-1/2 chain in one dimension, considering nearest neighbor interactions. In the thermodynamic limit the energy is calculated analytically in several ways. We start by applying the Bethe ansatz to calculate the exact ground state energy of the XXX Heisenberg model. Next we study small perturbations of the spin anisotropy, the parameter for the interaction in the z-direction for the XXZ model, by applying time-independent perturbation theory. In addition we expand an exact integral expression of the energy of the XXZ model around the spin anisotropy in the thermodynamic limit. The results are compared to numerical solutions, which are obtained by means of exact diagonalization up to twelve lattice sites. We find that for ten or more lattice sites the numerics agree well with the expectation from the analytical calculations. Finally the concept of integrability is discussed in the context of the Heisenberg model.We discuss the ground state of the Heisenberg spin-1/2 chain in one dimension, considering nearest neighbor interactions.

Monte Carlo simulation of the S=(1/2 antiferromagnetic Heisenberg chain and the long-distance behavior of the spin-correlation function

Kenn Kubo, T. A. Kaplan, J. Borysowicz

We present a new Monte Carlo simulation of the correlation function C(r) between two spins separated by a distance r in the ground state of the spin-1/2 Heisenberg chain. The calculation is based on the Sutherland mapping between the spin-chain ground state and the six-vertex model at its critical temperature. New results are obtained for rings with the number of spins N=32 and 40. We give evidence that the asymptotic decay of C(r) at large r is slower than the 1/r behavior of Luther and Peschel, and that this might be attributed to a logarithmic factor, i.e., C(r)\ensuremath{\sim}(A/r)(lnr/ ${r}_{0}$ ${)}^{\ensuremath{\sigma}}$, with \ensuremath{\sigma}\ensuremath{\approxeq}0.2 to 0.3.We present a new Monte Carlo simulation of the correlation function C(r) between two spins separated by a distance r in the ground state of the spin-1/2 Heisenberg chain.

Long-range correlations in the two-dimensional spin-(1/2 antiferromagnetic Heisenberg model: A quantum Monte Carlo study

Efstratios Manousakis, Román Salvador

Using an extended version of Handscomb's Monte Carlo method we study the spin-(1/2 quantum antiferromagnetic Heisenberg model on square lattices of various sizes. The calculated correlation length associated with antiferromagnetic order grows very rapidly as the temperature is lowered suggesting an essential singularity. Our results are consistent with those recently observed by neutron scattering done on ${\mathrm{Lo}}_{2}$ ${\mathrm{CuO}}_{4}$ .Using an extended version of Handscomb's Monte Carlo method we study the spin-(1/2 quantum antiferromagnetic Heisenberg model on square lattices of various sizes.

Spin correlations in low-dimensional spin-1/2 antiferromagnets

Biao Hao, Chang-De Gong

We study the long-range behavior of spin correlations in low-dimensional spin-1/2 antiferromagnets with both Ising anisotropy and spatial anisotropy. We represent the spin operators in terms of spin-density operators and spin-phase operators. Then for spin-1/2 antiferromagnets, within a simple harmonic approximation, we obtain expressions for the spin correlations in the ground state. For the one-dimensional linear chain, we find that the two leading terms in spin correlation are (-1 ${)}^{\mathit{r}}$ c/${\mathit{r}}^{\mathrm{\ensuremath{\eta}}}$- ${\mathit{c}}_{1}$ / ${\mathit{r}}^{2}$ for large distance r. The power \ensuremath{\eta} depends on the Ising anisotropy, and \ensuremath{\eta}=0.405 at XY point and \ensuremath{\eta}=1.062 at Heisenberg point. For the two-dimensional square lattice, there is long-range staggered magnetization, and the dependence of magnetization on Ising anisotropy is given. For the crossover from one-dimensional linear chain to two-dimensional square lattice, we find that the disorder-order transition occurs as long as the interchain coupling is introduced. We believe that our method gives a unified approach to the long-range behavior of spin correlations in low-dimensional spin-1/2 antiferromagnets.We study the long-range behavior of spin correlations in low-dimensional spin-1/2 antiferromagnets with both Ising anisotropy and spatial anisotropy.
