Abstract

Two integrable quantum spin ladder systems will be introduced associated with the fundamental su (2|2) solution of the Yang-Baxter equation. The first model is a generalized quantum Ising system with Ising rung interactions. In the second model the addition of extra interactions allows us to impose Heisenberg rung interactions without violating integrability. The existence of a Bethe ansatz solution for both models allows us to investigate the elementary excitations for antiferromagnetic rung couplings. We find that the first model does not show a gap whilst in the second case there is a gap for all positive values of the rung coupling.

Integrable generalized spin ladder models based on the SU(1|3) and SU(3|1) algebras

Arlei Prestes Tonel, Angela Foerster, Katrina Hibberd +1 more

We present two integrable spin ladder models which possess a general free parameter besides the rung coupling J. The models are exactly solvable by means of the Bethe ansatz method and we present the Bethe ansatz equations. We analyze the elementary excitations of the models which reveal the existence of a gap for both models that depends on the free parameter.

An exactly solvable model of generalized spin ladder

Sergio A Albeverio, S.-M Fei, Y Wang

A detailed study of an S = ½ spin ladder model is given. The ladder consists of plaquettes formed by nearest-neighbor rungs with all possible SU (2)-invariant interactions. For properly chosen coupling constants, the model is shown to be integrable in the sense that the quantum Yang-Baxter equation holds and one has an infinite number of conserved quantities. The R -matrix and L -operator associated with the model Hamiltonian are given in a limiting case. It is shown that after a simple transformation, the model can be solved via a Bethe ansatz. The phase diagram of the ground state is exactly derived using the Bethe ansatz equation.

Integrable Impurity Spin Ladder Systems

Arlei Prestes Tonel, Angela Foerster, Xi‐Wen Guan +1 more

Two integrable spin ladder systems with different types of impurities are proposed. The impurities are introduced in such a way that the integrability of the models is not violated. The models are solved exactly and the Bethe ansatz equations as well as the energy eigenvalues are obtained. We show for both models that a phase transition between gapped and gapless spin excitations occurs at a critical value of the rung coupling J. In addition, the dependence of the impurities on this phase transition is determined explicitly. Remarkably, in one of the models a decreasing of the spin gap with increasing impurity strength is found.

Integrable generalised spin ladder models

Angela Foerster, Jon Links, Arlei Prestes Tonel

We present two new integrable spin ladder models which posses three general free parameters besides the rung coupling J. Wang's systems based on the SU(4) and SU(3/1) symmetries can be obtained as special cases. The models are exactly solvable by means of the Bethe ansatz method.
