Abstract

The one-dimensional Heisenberg antiferromagnet with 8=1/2 is treated with the use of the Fermi operators and an additional condition that the long-range order is absent.Our spin wave spectrum of a one-dimensional Heisenberg antiferromagnet without longrange order is expressed by andThis is in good agreement with the exact spin wave spectrum role =1!'/2lsin kl which is obtained by des Cloizeaux and Pearson at T=O.Correlation functions <S1S2> and <SlSs> are in good agreement with the exact value at T=O, also.Thermodynamic properties of this system agree with those of Bulaevskii and those of Katsura and Inawashiro. § I. IntroductionThe one-dimensional Heisenberg antiferromagnet has been investigated by many authors.Most of previous theories have been for either zero or infinite temperatures.Recently various experiment on (CD3) 4NMnCl 3 (TMMC)ll requires further theoretical work of a Heisenberg linear-chain magnet for finite temperatures.The experimental results of linear antiferromagnet show that at low temperatures there are long-lived spin waves in spite of the absence of long-range order.At T= 0, the spin wave spectrum, wqoc I sin ql, is gained approximately by Anderson 2 l and exactly by des Cloizeaux and Pearson.8 l Recently Richards, 4 l Scales and Gersh, 5 l Kondo and Yamaji 6 l obtained the spin wave spectrum of linear antiferromagnet at finite temperatures with the use of the second-order Green's function theory.The spin wave spectrum, however, does not show exactly wqoc I sin ql at finite temperatures.

Green's-Function Formalism of the One-Dimensional Heisenberg Spin System

Jun Kondo, Yamaji K.

The one-dimensional Heisenberg model with S = 1/2 is treated with the use of the two-time Green's functions. The hierarchy of the equations of motion of the Green'f functions is decoupled at a stage one-step further than Tyablikov's decoupling. The thermal average of the spin component, ≪ Sz >, is set to zero, becaure the long-range order does not exist in one dimension. Instead, our Green's functions are expressed in terms of the correlation functions cn ≡4≪ S0zSnz >. The Green's function is essentially of the form representing undamped spin waves, whose spactrum depends on c1, c2 and one more parameter. They are determined by the requirement that c1 and c2 should be self-consistent and that c0 should be unity. The self-consistency equations have been solved analytically at high- and low-temperature limits, and also solved numerically in the whole range of the temperature. Thermodynamic quantities have been calculated using these solutions. It has turned out that the theory gives the correct high-temperature expansion for the thermodynamic quantities and the correlation functions. The latter is expressed by cn = (J / 4 kBT )n. In the case of ferromagnetic coupling, the correlation function cn at T = 0 is equal to 1/3 for all n's. This is what is expected from the correct ground state of the ferromagnetic Heisenberg system. The spin-wave spectrum at T = 0 also agrees with the correct one. At T ≪J/ kB, we find that the specific heat goes as T1/2 and the susceptibility goes as T-2. The gross feature of the temperature-dependence of the thermodynamic quantities agrees with Bonner and Fisher. In the case of the antiferromagnetic Heisenberg model, we find c1 = -0.55407 and c2 = 0.16100 at T = 0, which are fairly close to the exact values. The thermodynamic quantities are also in gross agreement with Bonner and Fisher.

Thermodynamic properties of one-dimensional spin-1 antiferromagnetic Heisenberg chains: Green’s-function approach

Shu-Qing Bao, Hu Zhao, Jue-Lian Shen +1 more

The one-dimensional spin-1 Heisenberg antiferromagnetic chains are studied by a generalized two-time Green's-function method at finite temperature. 〈${\mathit{S}}_{\mathit{i}}^{\mathit{z}}$〉 is set to zero at each site to guarantee the lack of the long-range order in the one-dimensional Heisenberg system. The Green's functions are decoupled in terms of the correlation functions of spin operators. A set of self-consistent equations of the correlation functions are derived and solved numerically. Correlation functions of spin operators, thermodynamic properties such as the internal energy, and specific heat in the entire temperature region are obtained. The Haldane gap in the excitation spectrum appears naturally in the analytical result. When k is zero, there is a gap 2\ensuremath{\Delta}, which is 1.0J and close to the theoretical result of White and Huse. And there is a broad maximum in the temperature dependence of the specific heat. The properties of the thermodynamic quantities are consistent with the numerical results on the finite chains. \textcopyright{} 1996 The American Physical Society.

Dynamical Correlation Functions of One-Dimensional Anisotropic Heisenberg Model with Spin 1/2. I: Ising-Like Antiferromagnets

Norikazu Ishimura, Hiroyuki Shiba

Dynamics of one-dimensional Ising-like (strongly anisotropic) antiferromagnets is studied by the perturbation theory from the pure Ising limit and by an exact calculation for finite chains. Both calculations show that the des Cloizeaux-Gaudin (dC-G) “spin-wave” spectrum corresponds neither to a lower bound of excitation continuum nor to the peak position of the transverse response Sxx(Q, ω). A new interpretation is given of the spin-wave spectrum of CsCoCl3 without relying on the dC-G theory. It is also shown that at elevated temperatures Sxx(Q, ω) has a three-peak structure. The longitudinal response Sxx(Q, ω) at low temperatures has a weak peak at the position of spin wave peak, while with increasing temperature Sxx(Q, ω) is dominated by the central peak due to thermally activated solitons, which was predicted by Villain.

Magnetic Properties of Antiferromagnetic Heisenberg Linear Chain

Takao Todani, 和子川崎

By the Green’s function method, where spin operators are transformed to fermion operators, an antiferromagnetic Heisenberg chain system has been investigated within the Hartree-Fock approximation. The static correlation ≪SzkSz-k> cannot be reduced to the Ornstein-Zernike form and has no singularity at k=π. The absorption function χzz’’(k,ω) cannot be expressed by the δ-function-like spectrum even at 0°K, but rather by a narrow diffused one, which is due to the two-magnon process. The present dispersion relation has a gap at k=π for T=0°K. The second order phase transition, then, may not occur in the linear chain. The results obtained are discussed comparing with those in the X-Y model and experimental data on TMMC.

Fermionic Spinons in Antiferromagnetic Heisenberg Chain

Tetsuo Matsui

The antiferromagnetic s =1/2 Heisenberg spin model in one dimension is analyzed by a variational Hamiltonian in terms of Jordan-Wigner fermions. Some results are compared with those of modified bosonic spin-wave theory. The fermionic quasi-particles (spinons) reproduce the “spin-wave” excitations of des Cloizeaux and Pearson with good accuracy.

Excitation Spectrum of One-Dimensional Spin-1 Antiferromagnetic Heisenberg Chain: Green's Function Approach

Julia Mihailowa Wesselinowa

The one-dimensional spin-1 Heisenberg antiferromagnetic chain is studied by a Green's function technique. The excitation spectrum is obtained. The dispersion of excitations for an infinite isotropic chain is numerically calculated. At k = 0 we obtain a gap 2Δ which is equal to 0.826J and at k = π we obtain Δ = 0.41J, which is in very good agreement with the exact numerical results of White and Huse.
