Low Temperature Physics

Low-temperature properties of finite XX-chains with additional Ising spin

Abstract

This is a theoretical study of quantum stationary states and thermodynamics of two exactly solvable quantum models: a finite XX-chain with an “offshoot” that is connected via ZZ-interaction (Ising) to one of the chain nodes, and two different finite XX-chains joined through an additional ZZ-spin. It is shown that the spectrum can have impurity levels localized near the impurity spin, and the conditions for their manifestation are determined. The field and temperature dependences of the main thermodynamic characteristics of the models are investigated.

Low temperature thermodynamics of finite spin-1/2 XX Chain with some distorted links

O. S. Dzhenzherov, E. V. Ezerskaya

We present the results of our analytical and numerical study of quantum stationary states and the thermodynamics of exactly solvable finite linear spin-1/2 XX chain with one or two distorted links. The exact dispersion equations for the stationary states with one inverted spin for both cases have been derived. The corresponding spectrum consists of one quasi-continuous band and some localized impurity levels. The analytical inequalities for the values of the critical model parameters describing the appearance of local energy impurity levels above and below quasi-continuous band are obtained and analyzed. The field and the temperature dependences of the main thermodynamic characteristics of these models are studied. It is shown, that the appearance of the localized levels near the distorted links may effect significantly on the thermodynamic properties at low temperatures, leading to the additional singularities in the field and the temperature dependences of the principal thermodynamic characteristics. For example, the field dependence of z-projection of average total spin and the field dependence of the magnetization at zero temperature have the finite jumps associated with the quasi-continuous spectrum, and the impurity levels. The remnants of these jumps at rather low temperature are clearly visible. The average z-projections of the spins of distorted link(s) may decrease with the increasing of the magnetic field for some values of model parameters. The temperature dependence of the specific heat may demonstrate additional maxima at very low temperatures. The complex oscillatory pattern of the time dependence of the dynamical longitudinal pair correlation function and the autocorrelation function is associated with the finiteness of the models and the appearance of associated localized energy levels.

Low-temperature properties of the XY spin chain with an impurity fragment

E. V. Ezerskaya, A. A. Chovpan

The exact energy spectrum in a longitudinal magnetic field is found for an infinite XY chain (s=1∕2) with an impurity fragment. It is shown that, in addition to a continuum band and a discrete set of levels, the existence of from one to four bound states, localized at the boundaries of the impurity fragment with the main chain, is possible. The critical behavior of the local static thermodynamic characteristics and time dependence of the longitudinal dynamic correlation functions for different temperatures are studied. It is shown that local thermodynamic characteristics of the model can be influenced significantly by both the discrete levels and the bound states.

Low-temperature properties of two XY spin chains with a point contact

E. V. Ezerskaya

The energy spectrum of a one-dimensional, exactly solvable spin model formed by two semi-infinite XY spin chains with spin s=1/2 with a point-contact interaction in a longitudinal magnetic field is calculated. It is shown that the spectrum of such a system can contain one or two local energy levels apart from two bands overlapping in weak fields. Local thermodynamic parameters of the chains can have singularities at zero temperature.

Thermodynamics of the Heisenberg XXX chain with negative spin

Rong Zhong, Yang-Yang Chen, Kun Hao +2 more

We study the thermodynamics of the isotropic Heisenberg XXX spin chain with negative spin, focusing on the case $s=-1$. The model is equivalent to the quantum lattice nonlinear Schrödinger (NLS) model and appears as an effective theory in deep inelastic scattering in high-energy quantum chromodynamics. Owing to its integrability, it admits a consistent Bethe Ansatz description and a well-defined thermodynamic limit. Using the thermodynamic Bethe Ansatz, we analyze the ground state, elementary excitations, and finite-temperature properties. In contrast to the conventional positive spin XXX chain, the negative spin model exhibits a distinct vacuum structure and excitation spectrum, leading to modified TBA equations and unconventional low-temperature behavior. Although the integral equations resemble those of the Lieb-Liniger Bose gas, the thermodynamics and scaling properties are qualitatively different and cannot be continuously connected. We derive the free energy, entropy, and specific heat, and identify a quantum phase transition separating different thermodynamic regimes. At zero temperature, the excitation spectrum becomes linear in the continuum limit and can be described by a conformal field theory. The low-temperature regime realizes a Luttinger-liquid like phase with features unique to the negative spin XXX chain.
