Abstract
By density-matrix renormalization group method,the 1/5-doping effect on the spin-1/2 Heisenberg antiferromagnetic chain is investigated.It is shown that adding side spins can weaken the correlations between near-neighbor spins while strengthen those between long-range spins.Because of the broken of sublattice symmetry by side spins,the ferromagnetic and the antiferromagnetic long range orders can coexist in the ground state.Side spins can lower the quantum fluctuations,and the effect will weaken as the increasing of interaction distance.The quantum fluctuation of side spin is weakest.But for the 1/5-doped antiferromagntic chain,the quantum fluctuation leads to the 47% loss of its staggered susceptibility.
