Magnetic properties of a spin-1/2 Heisenberg XXZ model in the presence of longitudinal, transverse and transverse staggered magnetic fields: effect of inhomogeneity property

Abstract

Magnetic and thermodynamic properties of the anisotropic Heisenberg XXZ spin=1/2 chain under both homogeneous and inhomogeneous magnetic fields are theoretically studied at finite low temperature. To this end, we rigorously study the magnetization, magnetic susceptibility and specific heat of the model in the vicinity of three different magnetic fields including longitudinal, transverse and transverse staggered magnetic fields. The thermodynamic parameters of the model are investigated under two conditions separately: I) when the model is putted in the presence of homogeneous magnetic fields; II) when a finite inhomogeneity is considered for all applied magnetic fields in the Hamiltonian. We show that at low temperature, independent of the chain size, the magnetization curve versus longitudinal field has some plateaus, which convert to their counterpart quasi-plateaus when the transverse magnetic field increases. Moreover, the influence of the transverse and staggered transverse magnetic fields, and their corresponding inhomogeneities on the magnetization, susceptibility, and specific heat is reported in detail. We find that the inhomogeneity has a substantial effect on the thermodynamic parameters of the model under consideration.

Magnetic Properties of an Antiferromagnetic Spin-1/2 XYZ Model in the Presence of Different Magnetic Fields: Finite-Size Effects of Inhomogeneity Property*

Hamid Arian Zad, Azam Zoshki, Moones Sabeti

Abstract Magnetic and thermodynamic properties of the anisotropic XYZ spin-1/2 finite chain under both homogeneous and inhomogeneous magnetic fields are theoretically studied at low temperature. Using exact diagonalization method (ED), we study the magnetization, magnetic susceptibility, and specific heat of the model characterized in terms of the finite correlation length in the presence of three different magnetic fields including longitudinal, transverse, and transverse staggered magnetic fields. The magnetization, susceptibility, and the specific heat of the model are investigated under two conditions separately: (i) When the model is putted in the presence of homogeneous magnetic fields. (ii) When finite inhomogeneities are considered for all applied magnetic fields in the Hamiltonian. We show that for the finite-size XYZ chains at low temperature, the evident magnetization plateaus gradually convert to their counterpart quasi-plateaus when the transverse magnetic field increases. Moreover, the influence of the transverse and staggered transverse magnetic fields, and their corresponding inhomogeneities on the magnetization process, magnetic susceptibility, and specific heat are reported in detail. Our exact results illustrate that by altering the inhomogeneity parameters, magnetization plateaus gradually convert to their counterpart quasi-plateaus. The specific heat manifests Schottky-type maximum, double-peak, and triple-peak, as well as, transformation between them by varying considered inhomogeneity parameters in the Hamiltonian.

Thermodynamic Properties of theS=1/2 Heisenberg Chain with Staggered Dzyaloshinsky–Moriya Interaction

Naokazu Shibata, Kazuo Ueda

Thermodynamic properties of the S=1/2 Heisenberg chain in transverse staggered magnetic field H^y_s and uniform magnetic field H^x perpendicular to the staggered field is studied by the finite-temperature density-matrix renormalization-group method. The uniform and staggered magnetization and specific heat are calculated from zero temperature to high temperatures up to T/J=4 under various strength of magnetic fields from H^y_s/J, H^x/J=0 to 2.4. The specific heat and magnetization of the effective Hamiltonian of the Yb_4As_3 are also presented, and field induced gap formation and diverging magnetic susceptibility at low temperature are shown.

Kink confinement in the antiferromagnetic XXZ spin-(1/2) chain in a weak staggered magnetic field

S. B. Rutkevich

The Heisenberg XXZ spin-(1/2) chain is considered in the massive antiferromagnetic regime in the presence of a staggered longitudinal magnetic field. The Hamiltonian of the model is characterised by the anisotropy parameter and by the magnetic-field strength h . At zero magnetic field, the model is exactly solvable. In the thermodynamic limit, it has two degenerate vacua and the kinks (which are also called spinons) interpolating between these vacua, as elementary excitations. Application of the staggered magnetic field breaks integrability of the model and induces the long-range attractive potential between two adjacent kinks leading to their confinement into the bound states. The energy spectra of the resulting two-kink bound states are perturbatively calculated in the extreme anisotropic (Ising) limit to the first order in the inverse anisotropy constant , and also for any to the first order in the weak magnetic field h .

Thermodynamic properties of the XXZ model in a transverse field

Mohammad Siahatgar, A. Langari

We have numerically studied the thermodynamic properties of the spin $\frac{1}{2}$ $XXZ$ chain in the presence of a transverse (noncommuting) magnetic field. The thermal, field dependence of specific heat and correlation functions for chains up to 20 sites has been calculated. The area where the specific heat decays exponentially is considered as a measure of the energy gap. We have also obtained the exchange interaction between chains in a bulk material using the random phase approximation and derived the phase diagram of the three-dimensional material with this approximation. The behavior of the structure factor at different momenta verifies the antiferromagnetic long-range order in the $y$ direction for the three-dimensional case. Moreover, we have concluded that the low temperature Lanczos results [M. Aichhorn et al., Phys. Rev. B 67, 161103(R) (2003)] are more accurate for low temperatures and closer to the full diagonalization ones than the results of finite temperature Lanczos method [J. Jaklic and P. Prelovsek, Phys. Rev. B 49, 5065 (1994)].

Phase diagrams, distinct conformal anomalies, and thermodynamics of spin-1 bond-alternating Heisenberg antiferromagnetic chain in magnetic fields

Xin Yan, Wei Li, Yang Zhao +2 more

The ground state phase diagrams and thermodynamic properties of a spin-1 bond-alternating Heisenberg antiferromagnetic chain with a single-ion anisotropy in longitudinal and transverse magnetic fields are investigated jointly by means of the infinite time evolving block decimation, the linearized tensor renormalization group, and the density matrix renormalization group methods. It is found that in the magnetic field--bond alternating ratio plane six phases such as singlet dimer, Haldane, two Tomonaga-Luttinger liquid, 1/2 magnetization plateau, and spin-polarized phases are identified in a longitudinal field, while in a transverse field there are five phases including singlet dimer, Haldane, ${Z}_{2}$ symmetry breaking, quasi-1/2 magnetization plateau, and quasi-spin-polarized phases. A reentrant behavior of the staggered magnetization in a transverse field is observed. The quantum critical behaviors in longitudinal and transverse magnetic fields are disclosed to fall into different universality classes with corresponding conformal field central charge $c=1$ and $1/2$, respectively. The experimental data of the compound NTENP under both longitudinal and transverse magnetic fields are nicely fitted, and the Luttinger liquid behavior of low-temperature specific heat experimentally observed is also confirmed.

Thermal entanglement in two-qutrit spin-1 anisotropic Heisenberg model with inhomogeneous magnetic field

Erhan Albayrak

The thermal entanglement of a two-qutrit spin-1 anisotropic Heisenberg XXZ chain in an inhomogeneous magnetic field is studied in detail. The effects of the external magnetic field ( B ), a parameter b which controls the inhomogeneity of B , and the bilinear interaction parameters J x = J y ≠ J z on the thermal variation of the negativity are studied in detail. It is found that negativity N decreases when the values of magnetic field, inhomogeneity b and temperature are increasing. In addition, N remains at higher temperatures for higher values of J z and lower values of B and b .
