Abstract

We consider the antiferromagnetic spin-1/2 Ising model with multisite interaction in an external magnetic field on an infinite zigzag ladder. The model is solved exactly by using the transfer matrix method. Using the exact expression for the total magnetization per site, the magnetic properties of the model are investigated in detail. The model exhibits the formation of magnetization plateaus for low temperatures, and it is shown that their properties depend strongly on the strength of the multisite interaction. All possible ground states of the model are found and discussed. The existence of nontrivial singular ground states is proven and exact explicit expressions for them are found. The macroscopic degeneracy of the ground states is investigated and discussed.

E. Jurčišinová, Marian Jurčisin

Abstract. The antiferromagnetic spin-1/2 Ising model with the presence of the multisite interaction and in the external magnetic field on the infinite tetrahedral chain is solved exactly by using the transfer matrix method. Using the exact expression for the free energy per site of the model the thermodynamic properties of the model are investigated in detail. It is shown that the total magnetisation per site forms the magnetisation plateaus at low temperatures, the properties of which depend on the strength of the multisite interaction. The set of all possible ground states is found and discussed. The existence of the so-called single-point ground states is shown and their properties are studied in detail. The entropy per site of the model is investigated and the exact expressions for the residual entropies of all ground states are found and their macroscopic degeneracies are discussed. The existence of the ground states with the same value of magnetisation but with different entropies is observed. In addition, the behaviour of the susceptibility and the specific heat is also studied.

Solution of the antiferromagnetic Ising model on a tetrahedron recursive lattice

E. Jurčišinová, Marian Jurčisin

We consider the antiferromagnetic spin-1/2 Ising model on the recursive tetrahedron lattice on which two elementary tetrahedrons are connected at each site. The model represents the simplest approximation of the antiferromagnetic Ising model on the real three-dimensional tetrahedron lattice which takes into account effects of frustration. An exact analytical solution of the model is found and discussed. It is shown that the model exhibits neither the first-order nor the second-order phase transitions. A detailed analysis of the magnetization of the model in the presence of the external magnetic field is performed and the existence of the magnetization plateaus for low temperatures is shown. All possible ground states of the model are found and discussed. The existence of nontrivial singular ground states is proven and exact explicit expressions for them are found.

MAGNETIZATION PLATEAUS ON THE ZIGZAG LADDER WITH TWO-, AND THREE-SITE EXCHANGES

Vahan Hovhannisyan, L. Ananikyan, N.S. Ananikian

We consider the Heisenberg model with two-, and three-spin exchange interactions on a zigzag ladder in a strong magnetic field. Using the recursion method for the partition function in Ising approximation we have found exact results for the magnetization. We have shown the existence of magnetization plateaus in the case of mutual two-, and three-spin exchanges at low temperatures and different exchange parameters. The system exhibits different magnetic behaviors, depending on the values of the exchange parameters.

Study on the Magnetization Plateau and Thermodynamic Properties in Spin Ladder

Du An

To investigate the magnetization and the effect of anisotropy on thermal properties in external magnetic field,the transfer matrix method is used to calculate exactly the solution to the magnetization in Ising spin ladder with S=1 and S=3/2 mixed together.It's found that if the closest neighboring interaction is ferromagnetic and the next closest interaction between two spin chains is antiferromagnetic,the plateaus of the magnetization m=1/4 and m=3/4 appear in the system,which are consistent with the positions where the magnetization plateaus are possibly appearing in quantum model.Novel dual-peak is observed on the curves of specific heat and susceptibility.

Magnetization and the Concurrence of the Spin-1/2 Ising-Heisenberg Pyrochlore Ladder

Afsaneh Sadrolashrafi, N.S. Ananikian, L. Ananikyan

We have established a quantum antiferromagnetic Heisenberg-Ising model on a spin-1/2 pyrochlore edge-shared ladder with Heisenberg intra-rung and Ising inter-rung interactions as a perspicuous candidate to exhibit magnetization mid and zero plateaus, characteristic peaks of magnetic susceptibility, and thermal entanglement mid plateau. The model is exactly solvable and thus, all the essential properties such as the thermal entanglement and the magnetic properties of the system can be exactly calculated. The calculations are done both through the transfer matrix technique and through the reduced density matrix. The magnetization plateaus are observed at zero and half the saturation value and the magnetic susceptibility exhibits a clear demonstration of the associated characteristic peaks. The model also displays the mid plateau of the thermal entanglement as a function of the external magnetic field at low temperatures.

Consequences of residual-entropy hierarchy violation for behavior of the specific heat capacity in frustrated magnetic systems: An exact theoretical analysis

E. Jurčišinová, Marian Jurčisin

We investigate in detail the influence of the violation of the strict residual-entropy hierarchy among the neighboring ground states of different orders on the low-temperature behavior of the specific heat capacity in the magnetic frustrated systems in the framework of the exactly solvable antiferromagnetic spin-1/2 Ising model with the multisite interaction in the presence of the external magnetic field on the zigzag ladder. The exact expressions for the residual entropies of all ground states of the model are found, and it is shown that when the strength of the multisite interaction is strong enough then the model exhibits a quite interesting specific situation, namely, that there exist neighboring plateau ground states together with the single-point ground state that separates them, such that the magnetization properties of all of them are different but their entropy per site is the same and equal to zero. It is shown that this fact of the violation of the strict residual-entropy hierarchy between neighboring ground states of different orders leads to the reduction of the possible number of peaks that can appear in the low-temperature behavior of the specific heat capacity in the corresponding regions of the model parametric space. In addition, it is also shown that the absence of the strict residual-entropy hierarchy among neighboring ground states of different orders changes qualitatively the behavior of the specific heat capacity as a function of the external magnetic field, namely, that the typical field-induced sharp double-peak structure in the low-temperature behavior of the specific heat capacity, which is directly related to the very existence of the highly macroscopically degenerated single-point ground states, disappears already for relatively large values of the temperature.
