Dynamic properties of spin-½ XY chains
Oleg Derzhko, Taras Krokhmalskii
Abstract
We have considered a numerical scheme for the calculation of the equilibrium properties of spin{ 1 2 XY chains.Within its frames it is necessary to solve in the last resort only the 2N 2N eigenvalue and eigenvector problem but not the 2 N 2 N one as for an arbitrary system consisting of N spins 1 2 .To illustrate the approach we have presented some new results.Namely, the xx dynamic structure factor for the Ising model in transverse eld, the density of states for the isotropic chain with random intersite couplings and transverse elds that linearly depend on the surrounding couplings, and the zz dynamic structure factor for the Ising model in the random transverse eld.The results obtained are hoped to be useful for an interpretation of observable data for one{dimensional spin{ 1 2 XY substances.
