Spin Transport Properties of the One-Dimensional Heisenberg Chain: Bethe-Ansatz Solution with Twist Boundary Conditions
Zhang Qiu-Lan, Shi-Jian Gu
Abstract
Based on the Bethe-Ansatz solution of the one-dimensional Heisenberg model under twist boundary conditions, we study the spectra of the persistent current carried by the low-lying excited states. It is shown that though the energy spectra of spin-singlet and spin-triplet excitations are degenerate, their persistent current spectra are quite different.
