Abstract

We study the dynamical response of frustrated, quasi-one-dimensional spin-$\frac{1}{2}$ Heisenberg antiferromagnets at finite temperatures. We allow for the presence of a Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interaction. We concentrate on a model of weakly coupled planes of anisotropic triangular lattices. Combining exact results for the dynamical response of one-dimensional Heisenberg chains with a random-phase approximation in the frustrated interchain couplings, we calculate the dynamical susceptibility in the disordered phase. We investigate the instability of the disordered phase to the formation of collective modes. We find a very weak instability to the formation of incommensurate magnetic order and determine the ordering temperature and wave vector. We also determine the effects of uniform magnetic fields on the ordering transition.

Quasi-one-dimensional spin- 12 Heisenberg magnets in their ordered phase: Correlation functions

Fabian H. L. Eßler, Alexei M. Tsvelik, Gesualdo Delfino A

We study weakly coupled antiferromagnetic spin chains in their ordered phase by combining an exact solution of the single-chain problem with a random-phase-approximation analysis of the interchain interaction. A single chain is described by a quantum Sine-Gordon model and dynamical staggered susceptibilities are determined by employing the form-factor approach to quantum correlation functions. We consider both antiferromagnetic order encountered in quasi-one-dimensional materials such as ${\mathrm{KCuF}}_{3}$ and spin-Peierls order as found in ${\mathrm{CuGeO}}_{3}.$

Weakly Coupled Antiferromagnetic Quantum Spin Chains

Ziqiang Wang

Quasi-one-dimensional quantum antiferromagnets formed by a $d$-dimensional hypercubic lattice of weakly coupled spin- $\frac{1}{2}$ antiferromagnetic Heisenberg chains are studied by combining exact results in one-dimension and renormalization group analyses of the interchain correlations. It is shown that $d$-dimensional magnetic long-range order develops at zero temperature for infinitesimal antiferromagnetic or ferromagnetic interchain couplings. In the presence of weak bond alternations, the order-disorder transition occurs at a finite interchain coupling. Relevances to the lightly doped quantum antiferromagnets and multilayer quantum Hall systems are discussed.

Low-energy dynamical characteristics of a quantum spin chain with magnetic impurities

Andrei A. Zvyagin

In the framework of the exactly solvable model, using nonperturbative methods, the temperature and magnetic field behavior of the NMR relaxation rate (and low-energy dynamical structure factor) for the antiferromagnetic Heisenberg spin-1/2 chain with magnetic impurities is calculated. For a single magnetic impurity, totally screened at low temperatures by spinons of the chain, the critical exponents, which determine the low-temperature and magnetic field behavior, get renormalized. For the finite concentration of impurities with the random distribution of the impurity-chain coupling the weak disorder in the distribution does not produce essential changes to the dynamical structure factor. Contrary, the strong disorder yields drastically different behavior of the low-energy dynamical characteristics, comparing to the homogeneous chain. Our results are generic, and they qualitatively agree in limiting cases with the results of perturbative calculations for disordered spin chains and with the data of experiments on quasi-one-dimensional spin compounds.

One dimensionalization in the spin-1 Heisenberg model on the anisotropic triangular lattice

M. G. Gonzalez, E. A. Ghioldi, C. J. Gazza +2 more

We investigate the effect of dimensional crossover in the ground state of the antiferromagnetic spin-1 Heisenberg model on the anisotropic triangular lattice that interpolates between the regime of weakly coupled Haldane chains $({J}^{\ensuremath{'}}\ensuremath{\ll}J)$ and the isotropic triangular lattice $({J}^{\ensuremath{'}}=J)$. We use the density-matrix renormalization group (DMRG) and Schwinger boson theory performed at the Gaussian correction level above the saddle-point solution. Our DMRG results show an abrupt transition between decoupled spin chains and the spirally ordered regime at ${({J}^{\ensuremath{'}}/J)}_{c}\ensuremath{\sim}0.42$, signaled by the sudden closing of the spin gap. Coming from the magnetically ordered side, the computation of the spin stiffness within Schwinger boson theory predicts the instability of the spiral magnetic order toward a magnetically disordered phase with one-dimensional features at ${({J}^{\ensuremath{'}}/J)}_{c}\ensuremath{\sim}0.43$. The agreement of these complementary methods, along with the strong difference found between the intra- and the interchain DMRG short spin-spin correlations for sufficiently large values of the interchain coupling, suggests that the interplay between the quantum fluctuations and the dimensional crossover effects gives rise to the one-dimensionalization phenomenon in this frustrated spin-1 Hamiltonian.

Order-disorder quantum phase transition in the quasi-one-dimensional spin-1/2 collinear antiferromagnetic Heisenberg model

S. Rufo, Griffith Mendonça, J. A. Plascak +1 more

The ground-state properties of the quasi-one-dimensional spin-$1/2$ antiferromagnetic Heisenberg model is investigated by using a variational method. Spins on chains along the $x$ direction are antiferromagnetically coupled with exchange $J>0$, while spins between chains in the $y$ direction are coupled either ferromagnetically (${J}^{\ensuremath{'}}<0$) or antiferromagnetically (${J}^{\ensuremath{'}}>0$). The staggered and the colinear antiferromagnetic magnetizations are computed and their dependence on the anisotropy parameter $\ensuremath{\lambda}=|{J}^{\ensuremath{'}}|/J$ is analyzed. It is found that an infinitesimal interchain coupling parameter is sufficient to stabilize a long-range order with either a staggered magnetization ${m}_{s}$ (${J}^{\ensuremath{'}}>0$) or a colinear antiferromagnetic magnetization ${m}_{caf}$ (${J}^{\ensuremath{'}}<0$), both behaving as $\ensuremath{\simeq}{\ensuremath{\lambda}}^{1/2}$ for $\ensuremath{\lambda}\ensuremath{\rightarrow}0$.
