Abstract
The influence of Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya (DM) interaction on the spin-Peierls systems is studied by use of theoretical analysis and the Lanczos numerical method. The ground sate of the spin-Peierls system is still a dimerized phase when DM interaction is present. The results show that the uniform DM interaction is always against dimerization but the staggered DM interaction may act in favour of or against dimerization. There exists a critical point where the staggered DM interaction has no influence on dimerization.
