Ground-state spin pairing of general-spin linear-chain Heisenberg models
S. A. Alexander, Daniel Klein
Simple products of singlet-coupled spin pairs are identified as exact eigenstates for a certain class of antiferromagnetically signed linear-chain Heisenberg models with both bond-length alternation and next-nearest-neighbor interactions. Where such an eigenstate becomes a ground state, a cusp is noted to arise in the ground-state energy. Differences between the spin-1/2 and higher-spin cases appear.
