Relaxation of the energy density in a linear Ising system at low temperatures

Abstract

Using a microscopic approach we have studied the relaxation of homogenous fluctuations in the energy density in Ising spin chains with S = 1/2 and S = 1. It is shown that the nature of the relaxation as T→0 depends significantly on the spin magnitude and on the spin–lattice interaction.

Spin-Lattice Relaxation Effects in Critical Sound Propagation

NMR relaxation in Ising spin chains

Julia Steinberg, N. P. Armitage, Fabian H. L. Eßler +1 more

The quantum Ising chain in a transverse magnetic field is $t\phantom{\rule{0}{0ex}}h\phantom{\rule{0}{0ex}}e$ paradigm of a quantum phase transition, displaying universal quantum criticality at low temperatures. Insights from this model have informed studies of quantum criticality in numerous modern correlated-electron materials. There have been a number of experimental studies of the quantum Ising chain, most notably in the material CoNb${}_{2}$O${}_{6}$. It has recently become clear that there was a surprising discrepancy between the observations: the energy gap in the quantum disordered regime as measured by nuclear magnetic resonance was approximately twice that measured by other methods. Here, the authors show via careful analysis of the low-temperature excitations that this is not a discrepancy, rather, it is in fact to be expected from the subtle interactions between the excitations. Although the underlying spin excitations are bosonic, their interactions transmute them into fermions, and this is a key ingredient in understanding the experiments.

Decoherence and relaxation of topological states in extended quantum Ising models

Hannes Weisbrich, Wolfgang Belzig, Gianluca Rastelli

We study the decoherence and the relaxation dynamics of topological states in an extended class of quantum Ising chains which can present a multidimensional ground state subspace. The leading interaction of the spins with the environment is assumed to be the local fluctuations of the transverse magnetic field. By deriving the Lindblad equation using the many-body states, we investigate the relation between decoherence, energy relaxation and topology. In particular, in the topological phase and at low temperature, we analyze the dephasing rates between the different degenerate ground states.

Monte Carlo simulation of energy relaxation in the two-dimensional Ising model

Masatoshi Mori

The energy relaxation in the two-dimensional Ising model, with temperature greater than ${\mathit{T}}_{\mathit{c}}$ and in a spin system having a 5120\ifmmode\times\else\texttimes\fi{}5120 lattice, is studied using supercomputer-conducted Monte Carlo simulation. The critical exponents of the linear and nonlinear relaxation times of the internal energy are respectively estimated to be ${\mathrm{\ensuremath{\Delta}}}_{\mathit{E}}^{(\mathit{l})}$=2.064\ifmmode\pm\else\textpm\fi{}0.026 and ${\mathrm{\ensuremath{\Delta}}}_{\mathit{E}}^{(\mathrm{nl})}$=1.132\ifmmode\pm\else\textpm\fi{}0.080, being consistent with the Racz scaling law ${\mathrm{\ensuremath{\Delta}}}_{\mathit{E}}^{(\mathit{l})}$-${\mathrm{\ensuremath{\Delta}}}_{\mathit{E}}^{(\mathrm{nl})}$=1-\ensuremath{\alpha}, where \ensuremath{\alpha} is the critical exponent of the specific heat. Based on the author's previous result in which the critical exponent of the linear relaxation for magnetization was determined as ${\mathrm{\ensuremath{\Delta}}}_{\mathit{M}}^{(\mathit{l})}$=2.076\ifmmode\pm\else\textpm\fi{}0.005, it is strongly suggested that ${\mathrm{\ensuremath{\Delta}}}_{\mathit{E}}^{(\mathit{l})}$=${\mathrm{\ensuremath{\Delta}}}_{\mathit{M}}^{(\mathit{l})}$.

The effect of spin-lattice relaxation on multiple-quantum NMR coherences in solids

Edward B. Fel’dman, Alexey N. Pyrkov

A phenomenological theory of spin-lattice relaxation of multiple-quantum coherences in systems of two dipolar coupled spins at low temperatures is developed. Intensities of multiple-quantum NMR coherences depending on the spin-lattice relaxation time are obtained. It is shown that the theory is also applicable to finite spin chains when the approximation of nearest neighbour interaction is used. An application of this theory to an estimation of the influence of decoherence processes on quantum entanglement and its fluctuations is briefly discussed.

Temperature dependence of the NMR spin-lattice relaxation rate for spin- 1 2 chains

Emanuele Coira, Peter Barmettler, Thierry Giamarchi +1 more

Recent developments in density matrix renormalization group/matrix product state techniques allow today for a quantitative computation of dynamical correlations at finite temperature in low-dimensional quantum spin systems. By combining numerical results and field theoretical asymptotic methods, e.g., bosonization, it is now possible to give a full description of the dynamical quantity one is interested in for the range of temperatures experimentally accessible. This enhances of course the possibility of one-to-one comparisons with experiments without having to resort to uncontrolled approximations. Here, the authors focus on the temperature dependence of the NMR spin-lattice relaxation rate $1/{T}_{1}$ in spin-$\frac{1}{2}$ chain systems. This quantity is directly related to local, dynamical spin-spin correlation functions. The results agree in the low-temperature regime with bosonization predictions, and show interesting deviations from this behavior at intermediate temperatures.
