Abstract
By using density-matrix renormalization group(DMRG) method,the authors investigate a system of quasi-one-dimensional Heisenberg antiferromagnetic chain with symmetry breaking of sublattice.The ground state energy per unit cell,spin correlation function and staggered susceptibility are calculated.The calculations show that the system exhibits ferrimagnetic properties,although the spin-spin interactions are antiferromagnetic.The results are consistent qualitatively with the conclusion predicted by LIEB-MATTIS theorem and the results calculated by spin-wave theory.
