Susceptibility of the spin-S Heisenberg antiferromagnetic chain

Abstract

The numerical solution of the low-temperature behaviour of the susceptibility of the spin-S antiferromagnetic chain is presented starting from the exact thermodynamic Bethe ansatz equations for the Takhtajan-Babujian model. It is found that the susceptibility for the several values of S tends to its zero-T value with infinite slope, extending previous results obtained by Eggert et al. (1994) for the S= 1/2 case.

Susceptibility of the spin 1/2 Heisenberg antiferromagnetic chain

Sebastian Eggert, Ian K. Affleck, Minoru Takahashi

Highly accurate results are presented for the susceptibility \ensuremath{\chi}(T) of the s=1/2 Heisenberg antiferromagnetic chain for all temperatures, using the Bethe ansatz and field theory methods. After going through a rounded peak, \ensuremath{\chi}(T) approaches its asymptotic zero-temperature value with infinite slope.

Thermodynamics of a spin-S' impurity in a spin-S antiferromagnetic Heisenberg chain

Pedro D Sacramento

The numerical solution of the Bethe ansatz equations of an integrable SU(2)-invariant generalization of the spin-S antiferromagnetic Heisenberg chain (Takhtajian-Babujian model) with a spin-S' impurity in zero magnetic field is presented. The entropy, specific heat and susceptibility of an impurity of spin S' are obtained numerically as a function of the spin S of the chain. Three situations have to be distinguished: (i) if S'=S the impurity just corresponds to one more site in the chain; (ii) if S'>S the impurity spin is only partially compensated (undercompensated) at T=0, leaving an effective spin of (S'-S); (iii) if S'

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.

Critical Behavior of Spin-1/2 One-Dimensional Heisenberg Ferromagnet at Low Temperatures

Miki Yamada, Minoru Takahashi

A linear chain of S =1/2 spins with the isotropic Hamiltonian H = J Σ( S i x S i +1 x + S i y S i +1 y + S i z S i +1 z -1/4), ( J <0) , at low temperatures is studied numerically by solving a set of nonlinear integral equations which are derived from the Bethe Ansatz. We find that the free energy and susceptibility are both expanded in \(\sqrt{T/|J|}\) about T =0. The critical exponents are a =-1/2 and y =2. The coefficient of T 3/2 term in the free energy agrees with the spin wave theory with the accuracy of 0.1%. The coefficient of T -2 term in the zero-field susceptibility agrees with Fisher's solution of the classical Heisenberg model with the accuracy of 0.3%. The contribution from the second and higher order terms of the expansions in these thermodynamic quantities is not negligible in the region T /| J |>0.002.

The Heisenberg chain with impurities: crossover from Fermi-liquid to non-Fermi-liquid behaviour

P. Schlottmann

We consider an integrable SU(2)-invariant model consisting of a Heisenberg chain of spins S (the Takhtajan-Babujian model) interacting with a finite concentration c of impurity spins S ´. The thermodynamic Bethe- ansatz equations are stated for this model. The ground-state equations are analysed as a function of c , the magnetic field and the coupling parameter (impurity rapidity p 0 ) of the impurities to the lattice. In zero field the ground state is a singlet for finite c , but becomes non-Fermi-liquid-like as c 0 for S ´< S . Two rapidity bands play a role at T = 0 corresponding to strings of length 2 S and 2 S ´, respectively. The van Hove singularities of the empty bands define two critical fields, H c ( c , p 0 ) and H s ( c , p 0 ), at which the susceptibility diverges. H c tends to zero as c 0 giving rise to a crossover from non-Fermi-liquid behaviour for H > H c to Fermi-liquid-like behaviour for H < H c . The spectrum of elementary excitations and the finite-size corrections to the ground-state energy are calculated, and used to discuss the asymptotic behaviour of spin-spin correlation functions for long times and large distances.

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.
