AlternatingS=1/2XYChain in the Lorentzian Random Field
Kiyomi Okamoto
Abstract
The alternating S =1/2 XY chain in the Lorentzian random field in the z -direction is investigated by the use of the pseudo-Fermion representation. The random-averaged one-particle Green's functions for the pseudo-Fermions are exactly calculated, which enables us to exactly construct the thermodymanics of this model. The spin correlation function < S i z S j z > is also studied at T =0. The dimerized state (which is the ground state in the absence of the random field) is completely destroyed by any small (but finite) amount of the random field.
