JORDAN-WIGNER FERMIONIZATION AND THE THEORY OF LOW-DIMENSIONAL QUANTUM SPIN MODELS.: DYNAMIC PROPERTIES

O. DERZHKO

The Jordan-Wigner transformation is known as a powerful tool in condensed matter theory, especially in the theory of low-dimensional quantum spin systems. The aim of this chapter is to review the application of the Jordan-Wigner fermionization technique for calculating dynamic quantities of low-dimensional quantum spin models. After a brief introduction of the Jordan-Wigner transformation for one-dimensional spin one-half systems and some of its extensions for higher dimensions and higher spin values we focus on the dynamic properties of several low-dimensional quantum spin models. We start from the famous s=1/2 XX chain. As a first step we recall well-known results for dynamics of the z-spin-component fluctuation operator and then turn to the dynamics of the dimer and trimer fluctuation operators. The dynamics of the trimer fluctuations involves both the two-fermion (one particle and one hole) and the four-fermion (two particles and two holes) excitations. We discuss some properties of the two-fermion and four-fermion excitation continua. The four-fermion dynamic quantities are of intermediate complexity between simple two-fermion (like the zz dynamic structure factor) and enormously complex multi-fermion (like the xx or xy dynamic structure factors) dynamic quantities. Further we discuss the effects of dimerization, anisotropy of XY interaction, and additional Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interaction on various dynamic quantities. Finally we consider the dynamic transverse spin structure factor $S_{zz}({\bf{k}},ω)$ for the s=1/2 XX model on a spatially anisotropic square lattice which allows one to trace a one-to-two-dimensional crossover in dynamic quantities.

Jordan-Wigner fermions and the spin-1/2 anisotropic XY model on a square lattice

Oleg Derzhko, Johannes Richter, Taras Verkholyak

Using the two-dimensional Jordan-Wigner fermionization we calculate the thermodynamic quantities of the (spatially anisotropic) square-lattice spin-1/2 anisotropic XY (XZ) model. We compare the results of different approaches for the ground-state and thermodynamic properties of the model.

Spin-1 Heisenberg chain and the one-dimensional fermion gas

Jenő Sólyom, JUSSI TIMONEN

The composite-spin representation of the spin-1 Heisenberg chain is used to transform it through the Jordan-Wigner transformation to the one-dimensional fermion gas. To properly include the xy couplings between spins, we also consider the bosonized version of the fermion model. Phase diagrams deduced from the two versions of the fermion model are compared against numerical results for finite Heisenberg chains. One of the symmetries of the spin model is lost in the fermionization, and this leads to a topologically incorrect phase diagram in at least one part of the parameter space. There are clear indications of significant coupling of spin and charge degrees of freedom in the fermion model and of strong renormalization of the coupling constants in the continuum limit. The existence of the Haldane gap is discussed in connection with these results.

Jordan–Wigner transformation constructed for spinful fermions at spin-1/2 in two dimensions

Zsolt Gulácsi

Recently a Jordan–Wigner transformation was constructed for spinful fermions at S=1/2 spins in one dimension connecting the spin-1/2 operators to genuine spinful canonical Fermi operators. In the presented paper, this exact transformation is generalised to two dimensions.

Jordan-Wigner Fermions and Dynamic Probes of Quantum Spin Chains

Oleg Derzhko, Taras Verkholyak

With the help of the Jordan–Wigner transformation the spin-12 XY chains can be reformulated in terms of noninteracting spinless fermions and, as a result, many statistical-mechanics calculations can be performed rigorously, i.e. without making any simplifying approximations. We are interested in dynamic properties of such chains (time-dependent spin correlation functions, dynamic structure factors, dynamic susceptibilities) which are of great importance for interpretation of experimental data. We have worked out a number of dynamic quantities explicitly as well as have performed a general analysis of the two-fermion continua which are relevant for different dynamic quantities.
