Dynamics of the spin-1/2 Ising two-leg ladder with four-spin plaquette interaction and transverse field

Abstract

Multiple-spin coupling is a key tool for investigating magnetic quantum systems. In particular, models with four-spin interactions became of great interest since they have been applied to describe material properties such as superconductivity. In this framework, the dynamics of the spin-1/2 Ising two-leg ladder with four-spin plaquette interaction in a transverse field is investigated. By means of the recurrence relations method, the first four recurrants are determined exactly for the general model, while five exact recurrants are calculated for two particular models. In all cases, higher-order recurrants are computed through extrapolation to obtain time-dependent autocorrelation functions and spectral densities in the long-time regime and infinite-temperature limit. It is found that the relaxation functions decay slower than the expected behavior of the one-dimensional transverse Ising model. The spectral lines, characterized by a Lorentzian behavior in the central body and a Gaussian shape in the tails, display exchange narrowing as the coupling intensities increase.

Spin-1/2 Ising ladder with randomly coupled rung interaction and transverse magnetic field

Maria Eugênia Silva Nunes, J. A. Plascak

The quantum spin-1/2 Ising ladder with homogeneous side rail interaction and disordered rung interaction in the presence of a random site transverse magnetic field has been studied using the method of recurrence relations in the high-temperature limit. The first six recurrants have been exactly calculated, and a linear extrapolation process has been used to obtain a total of 100 recurrants. This extrapolation allows us to extend the analysis to longer times. Both the rung coupling and the transverse field obey a bimodal distribution. The time autocorrelation functions of the z-component dynamic spin variable have been obtained. We have considered several cases of rung and transverse field distributions, as well as several values of the Hamiltonian parameters. The results show that the disorder present in the rung interaction and external transverse field affects the behavior of the temporal autocorrelation and the spectral functions in all studied cases. In addition, the interesting case where the rung interactions and the transverse magnetic field are correlated has also been studied. In general, transition in the dynamics of the system from individual to collective mode was observed depending on the dominant kind of interaction in the sites, that is, whether most of the sites were subject to a strong external field or strong interchain local interactions.

Crossover of the dynamical behavior in two-dimensional random transverse Ising model

Shu-Xia Chen, Yin-Yang Shen, Xiang-Mu Kong

The dynamics of the two-dimensional spin-$\frac{1}{2}$ random transverse Ising model is studied by means of the recurrence relations method. Both the autocorrelation functions and the corresponding spectral densities are calculated in the cases that the exchange couplings or fields satisfy three typical distributions, respectively. For the cases of Gaussian and double-Gaussian distribution, when the standard deviation of the random variable is small, the dynamics of the system undergoes a crossover from a central-peak behavior to a collective-mode one, the result is similar to that of the bimodal distribution. While the standard deviation is large enough, the crossover disappears and the dynamics of the system shows a central-peak behavior or a disordered behavior.

Dynamics of the transverse Ising model with next-nearest-neighbor interactions

P. R. C. Guimarães, J. A. Plascak, O. F. de Alcantara Bonfim +1 more

We study the effects of next-nearest-neighbor (NNN) interactions on the dynamics of the one-dimensional spin-1/2 transverse Ising model in the high-temperature limit. We use exact diagonalization to obtain the time-dependent transverse correlation function and the corresponding spectral density for a tagged spin. Our results for chains of 13 spins with periodic boundary conditions produce results which are valid in the infinite-size limit. In general we find that the NNN coupling produces slower dynamics accompanied by an enhancement of the central mode behavior. Even in the case of a strong transverse field, if the NNN coupling is sufficiently large, then there is a crossover from collective mode to central mode behavior. We also obtain several recurrants for the continued fraction representation of the relaxation function.

Effects of Gaussian disorder on the dynamics of the random transverse Ising model

Zhongqiang Liu, Xiang-Mu Kong, Xiaosong Chen

The effects of Gaussian disorder on the dynamics of the one-dimensional spin-1/2 random transverse Ising model are studied in the high-temperature limit by the recursion method. Both spin autocorrelation functions and the corresponding spectral densities are calculated for three types of disordered cases. It is found that when the standard deviation ${\ensuremath{\sigma}}_{J}$ of the exchange coupling (or the standard deviation ${\ensuremath{\sigma}}_{B}$ of the random transverse field) is small, the dynamics of the system undergoes two crossovers in sequence as the mean value of the exchange coupling (or the random transverse field) varies: from a central-peak behavior to a collective-mode one, and then to the precession of free spins in an external transverse magnetic field. However, when ${\ensuremath{\sigma}}_{J}$ or ${\ensuremath{\sigma}}_{B}$ are large enough, there is no crossover, i.e., the dynamics of the system shows a central-peak behavior and a disordered behavior, respectively.

Ising Ladder with Four-Spin Plaquette Interaction in a Transverse Magnetic Field

J. A. Plascak, Maria Eugénia Nunes, F. W. S. Lima

The spin-1/2 quantum transverse Ising model, defined on a ladder structure, with nearest-neighbor and four-spin interaction on a plaquette, was studied by using exact diagonalization on finite ladders together with finite-size-scaling procedures. The quantum phase transition between the ferromagnetic and paramagnetic phases has then been obtained by extrapolating the data to the thermodynamic limit. The critical transverse field decreases as the antiferromagnetic four-spin interaction increases and reaches a multicritical point. However, the exact diagonalization approach was not able to capture the essence of the dimer phase beyond the multicritical transition.

Dynamics of the random one-dimensional transverse Ising model

J. Florencio, F. C. Sá Barreto

We study the dynamics of the spin-1/2 random transverse Ising model in the high-temperature limit by means of the method of recurrence relations. We analyze two types of disorder: a disorder on the transverse field, and a disorder on the exchange coupling. We find that the dynamics undergoes a crossover from a central peak behavior onto a collective mode behavior as a function of the disorder.
