Abstract

Two-dimensional spin 1/2 antiferromagnetic Heisenberg models are numerically studied using Entanglement Perturbation Theory, where the ground state wave function is described by a product of local matrices defined at every site, and each matrix is optimized variationally to minimize the energy. We first apply this method for the spin 1/2 antiferromagnetic Heisenberg model on the square lattices to reproduce correctly the known ground state energy and the spin structure factors. Then, we study the spin 1/2 antiferromagnetic Heisenberg model on the triangular lattice with spatially anisotropic nearest neighbor couplings, J and J ', to establish the ground state phase diagram as a function of J'/ J.

Entanglement Perturbation Theory for Antiferromagnetic Heisenberg Spin Chains

Lihua Wang, S. G. Chung

A recently developed numerical method, entanglement perturbation theory (EPT), is used to study the antiferromagnetic Heisenberg spin chains with z-axis anisotropy $λ$ and magnetic field B. To demonstrate the accuracy, we first apply EPT to the isotropic spin-1/2 antiferromagnetic Heisenberg model, and find that EPT successfully reproduces the exact Bethe Ansatz results for the ground state energy, the local magnetization, and the spin correlation functions (Bethe ansatz result is available for the first 7 lattice separations). In particular, EPT confirms for the first time the asymptotic behavior of the spin correlation functions predicted by the conformal field theory, which realizes only for lattice separations larger than 1000. Next, turning on the z-axis anisotropy and the magnetic field, the 2-spin and 4-spin correlation functions are calculated, and the results are compared with those obtained by Bosonization and density matrix renormalization group methods. Finally, for the spin-1 antiferromagnetic Heisenberg model, the ground state phase diagram in $λ$ space is determined with help of the Roomany-Wyld RG finite-size-scaling. The results are in good agreement with those obtained by the level-spectroscopy method.

Revisiting a variational study of the quantum $J_{1}-J_{1}^{'}-J_{2}$ spin-1/2 Heisenberg antiferromagnet

Kevin J. U. Vidarte, Luigui A. Chero Nunura, Octavio D. Rodrı́guez Salmon +1 more

The variational study of the ground state of the spin$-1/2$ anisotropic Heisenberg antiferromagnet has been revisited on a square lattice by improving and correcting past numerical results found in Sol. State. Comm. 165, 33 (2013). The Hamiltonian has been implemented on a square lattice with antiferromagnetic interactions between nearest- and next-nearest neighbors. The nearest-neighbor couplings have different strengths, namely, $J_{1}$ and $J_{1}^{'}$, for the x and y directions, respectively. These couplings compete with the next-nearest ones denoted by $J_{2}$. We obtained a new phase diagram in the $λ- α$ plane, where $λ= J_{1}^{'}/J_{1}$ and $α= J_{2}/J_{1}$, whose topology is slightly different of that previously found. There is no direct frontier dividing the collinear (CAF) and the antiferromagnetic order (AF), rather, the quantum paramagnetic phase (QP) separates these two phases for all positive values of $λ$ and $α$. The true nature of the frontiers has been obtained by scanning rigorously the relevant points of the $λ-α$ plane.

Spin-1/2 Heisenberg antiferromagnet with anisotropic nearest- and next-nearest-neighbor coupling

William J. Massano, Janice D. Prie, Jay D. Mancini

A modified Lanczos method has been used to study the ground-state properties of a frustrated one-dimensional anisotropic Heisenberg antiferromagnet. The ground-state energy as well as all two-particle spin-spin correlation functions are obtained for a 16-site lattice. Both the relative couplings and anisotropies for nearest and next-nearest neighbors are varied.

Ground-state properties of the spin-\frac{1}{2} antiferromagnetic Heisenberg model on the triangular lattice: a variational study based on entangled-plaquette states

Fabio Mezzacapo, J. I. Cirac

We study, on the basis of the general entangled-plaquette variational ansatz, the ground-state (GS) properties of the spin- antiferromagnetic Heisenberg model on the triangular lattice. Our numerical estimates are in good agreement with available exact results and comparable, for large system sizes, to those computed via the best alternative numerical approaches, or by means of variational schemes based on specific (i.e. incorporating problem-dependent terms) trial wave functions (WFs). The extrapolation to the thermodynamic limit of our results for lattices comprising up to N =324 spins yields an upper bound of the GS energy per site (in units of the exchange coupling) of − 0.5458(2) [−0.4074(1) for the XX model], while the estimated infinite-lattice order parameter is 0.3178(5) (i.e. ∼64% of the classical value).

Two-Dimensional Spin-1/2 J1 – J'1 – J2 Heisenberg Model within Jordan–Wigner Transformation

O. R. Baran, Taras Verkholyak

The Jordan–Wigner transformation is applied to the spatially anisotropic spin-1/2 Heisenberg model on a square lattice with the nearest-neighbor and next-nearest-neighbor antiferromagnetic interactions. The transformed Hamiltonian describes the interacting spinless fermions that hop between neighbor sites in a gauge field. Using the mean-field-type approximation to both the direct interaction between fermions and the phase factors, which represent the gauge field, the problem is reduced to that concerning a free Fermi gas. Two types of antiferromagnetic ordering (the N´eel and collinear ones) are considered. By calculating the ground-state energies, the phase transitions induced by the interaction frustration were analyzed.

Revisiting a variational study of the quantum J1−J1′−J2J_{1}-J_{1}^{'}-J_{2}J1​−J1′​−J2​ spin-1/2 Heisenberg antiferromagnet
The variational study of the ground state of the spin−1/2-1/2−1/2 anisotropic Heisenberg antiferromagnet has been revisited on a square lattice by improving and correcting past numerical results found in Sol. State. Comm. 165, 33 (2013). The Hamiltonian has been implemented on a square lattice with antiferromagnetic interactions between nearest- and next-nearest neighbors. The nearest-neighbor couplings have different strengths, namely, J1J_{1}J1​ and J1′J_{1}^{'}J1′​, for the x and y directions, respectively. These couplings compete with the next-nearest ones denoted by J2J_{2}J2​. We obtained a new phase diagram in the λ−αλ- αλ−α plane, where λ=J1′/J1λ= J_{1}^{'}/J_{1}λ=J1′​/J1​ and α=J2/J1α= J_{2}/J_{1}α=J2​/J1​, whose topology is slightly different of that previously found. There is no direct frontier dividing the collinear (CAF) and the antiferromagnetic order (AF), rather, the quantum paramagnetic phase (QP) separates these two phases for all positive values of λλλ and ααα. The true nature of the frontiers has been obtained by scanning rigorously the relevant points of the λ−αλ-αλ−α plane.
