Susceptibility Behaviour of CuGeO3: Comparison between Experiment and the Quantum Transfer Matrix Approach
M. Bieliński, Jean‐Pierre Renard
Abstract
Thermodynamical properties of one-dimensional S = 1/2 Heisenberg model with dimerized nearest-and uniform next-nearest-neighbour interactions are studied by the numerically exact quantum transfer matrix method and the results are applied to CuGeO 3 .Suzuki-Trotter formula is used to obtain a classical system with spin σ = 3/2 and effective interactions between nearest-neigbours only.Magnetic susceptibility curve is calculated and compared with new experimental results performed in a wide temperature range, revealing the presence of frustration in the model proposed for CuGeO 3 .
