Low-temperature features of thermodynamics of an open isotropic Heisenberg chain

Abstract

Low-temperature magnetic susceptibility and specific heat of an antiferromagnetic Heisenberg chain with open boundary conditions are calculated with the help of the exact Bethe ansatz method. These characteristics behave with temperature in a different way from those of a periodic chain.

Bethe-ansatz study of the low-temperature thermodynamics of an open Heisenberg chain

Andrei A. Zvyagin, A. V. Makarova

Low-temperature thermodynamic characteristics of an antiferromagnetic Heisenberg chain with open boundary conditions are studied with the help of thermodynamic Bethe ansatz. The magnetic susceptibility and low-temperature Sommerfeld coefficient of the specific heat of free edges of the chain diverge with the decrease of temperature, in drastic contrast with the behavior of bulk spins and of the spins in periodic chain.

Thermodynamics of quantum Heisenberg spin chains

Tao Xiang

Thermodynamic properties of the quantum Heisenberg spin chains with $S=1/2,$ 1, and $3/2$ are investigated using the transfer-matrix renormalization-group method. The temperature dependence of the magnetization, susceptibility, specific heat, spin-spin correlation length, and several other physical quantities in a zero or finite applied field are calculated and compared. Our data agree well with the Bethe ansatz, exact diagonalization, and quantum Monte Carlo results and provide further insight into the quantum effects in the antiferromagnetic Heisenberg spin chains.

Thermodynamic properties ofS=2 antiferromagnetic Heisenberg chains

Shoji Yamamoto

Thermodynamic properties of S=2 antiferromagnetic Heisenberg chains are studied not only under the periodic boundary condition but also under the open one employing a quantum Monte Carlo method. Temperature and size dependences of the energy, the specific heat, and the magnetic susceptibility are calculated and edge effects on them are investigated in detail. The specific heat shows a well-pronounced Schottky anomaly but the maximum is located at a temperature much larger than the Haldane gap of the system. As temperature goes to zero, the magnetic susceptibility vanishes for the periodic chains, while it diverges for the open chains. The edge contribution in the open-chain susceptibility is attributed to the two S=1 effective spins localized at the chain ends at low temperatures, while to an S=2 free spin at high temperatures. This is a visualization of a quantum-classical crossover and an evidence that the present model is a Haldane system. High-temperature behaviors of the thermodynamic quantities are also discussed with the help of a series-expansion method. \textcopyright{} 1996 The American Physical Society.

Introduction to the Thermodynamics of Spin Chains

Luca Mezincescu, Rafael I. Nepomechie

We review how to obtain the thermodynamic Bethe Ansatz (TBA) equations for the antiferromagnetic Heisenberg ring in an external magnetic field. We review how to solve these equations for low temperature and small field, and calculate the specific heat and magnetic susceptibility.

Critical Behavior of the Isotropic Ferromagnetic Quantum Heisenberg Chain

P. Schlottmann

The thermodynamic Bethe-Ansatz equations for the isotropic ferromagnetic $S=\frac{1}{2}$ Heisenberg chain have been solved numerically. At low temperatures, I find a power-law dependence on $T$ for the specific heat and the susceptibility with critical exponents $\ensuremath{\alpha}=\ensuremath{-}0.49\ifmmode\pm\else\textpm\fi{}0.02$, $\ensuremath{\gamma}=2.00\ifmmode\pm\else\textpm\fi{}0.02$, and $\ensuremath{\Delta}\ensuremath{\simeq}\ensuremath{\gamma}$. The exponent $\ensuremath{\alpha}$ is compatible with effective spin waves and $\ensuremath{\gamma}$ and $\ensuremath{\Delta}$ are the exponents of the classical chain. Amplitudes and corrections to scaling are obtained and differences with previous results are discussed.

Thermodynamic Properties ofS=1 Antiferromagnetic Heisenberg Chains

Seiji Miyashita, Shoji Yamamoto

Thermodynamic properties of S =1 antiferromagnetic Heisenberg chains with free and periodic boundaries are investigated by means of a quantum Monte Carlo method. The specific heat is shown to have a peak at a temperature T peak ∼2Δ, where Δ is the energy gap of the present model, although global shape of the temperature dependence is very similar to the Schottky type specific heat. In open chains, due to the four-fold degeneracy of the ground state, the magnetic susceptibility shows a Curie-like divergence regardless of the number of spins. The extracted diverging part is consistent with the edge moment S =1/2.
