Abstract

We investigate the critical properties of the $S=1∕2$ bond-alternating spin chain with a next-nearest-neighbor interaction in magnetic fields. By the numerical calculation and the exact solution based on the effective Hamiltonian, we show that there is a parameter region where the longitudinal incommensurate spin correlation becomes dominant around the half-magnetization of the saturation. Possible interpretations of our results are discussed. We next investigate the effects of the interchain interaction $({J}^{\ensuremath{'}})$. The staggered susceptibility and the uniform magnetization are calculated by combining the density-matrix renormalization group method with the interchain mean-field theory. For the parameters where the dominant longitudinal incommensurate spin correlation appears in the case ${J}^{\ensuremath{'}}=0$, the staggered long-range order does not emerge up to a certain critical value of ${J}^{\ensuremath{'}}$ around the half-magnetization of the saturation. We calculate the static structure factor in such a parameter region. The size dependence of the static structure factor at $k=2{k}_{F}$ implies that the system has a tendency to form an incommensurate long-range order around the half-magnetization of the saturation. We discuss the recent experimental results for the NMR relaxation rate in magnetic fields performed for pentafluorophenyl nitronyl nitroxide.

Frustration-Induced η Inversion in the S=1/2 Bond-Alternating Spin Chain

We study the frustration-induced enhancement of the incommensurate correlation for a bond-alternating quantum spin chain in a magnetic field, which is associated with a quasi-one-dimensional organic compound F5PNN. We investigate the temperature dependence of the staggered susceptibilities by using the density matrix renormalization group, and then find that the incommensurate correlation becomes dominant in a certain range of the magnetic field. We also discuss the mechanism of this enhancement on the basis of the mapping to the effective S=1/2 XXZ chain and a possibility of the field-induced incommensurate long-range order.

Possibility of field-induced incommensurate order in a quasi-one-dimensional frustrated spin system

Nobuya Maeshima, Kouichi Okunishi, Kazuki Okamoto +2 more

We study an incommensurate long-range order induced by an external magnetic field in a quasi-one-dimensional bond-alternating spin system, F5PNN, focusing on the role of the frustrating interaction which can be enhanced by a high-pressure effect. On the basis of the density matrix renormalization group analysis of a microscopic model for F5PNN, we present several H-T phase diagrams for typical parameters of the frustrating next-nearest-neighbour coupling and the interchain interaction, and then discuss how the field-induced incommensurate order develops by the frustration effect in such phase diagrams. A magnetization plateau at half the saturation moment is also mentioned.

Field-Induced Incommensurate Order in a Quasi-1D S=1 Antiferromagnet

Tôru Sakai, Kiyomi Okamoto, Kouichi Okunishi +1 more

We investigate the S=1 frustrated antiferromagnetic quantum spin chain in magnetic field, using numerical exact diagonalization of finite‐size clusters. The calculated critical exponents of the spin correlation functions indicate that the incommensurate spin correlation parallel to the external field can be stronger than the transverse antiferromagnetic one for some intermediate fields. When such an incommensurate correlation is dominant, the quasi‐1D system with finite interchain interactions should exhibit long‐range incommensurate order. We also discuss a possible mechanism for the recently observed field‐induced phase of NDMAP within this framework.

Field-induced incommensurate order and possible supersolid in theS= 1/2 frustrated diamond chain

Tôru Sakai, Kazuki Okamoto, Takashi Tonegawa

The magnetization process of the distorted diamond chain is theoretically investigated using the numerical exact diagonalization and the density matrix renormalization group calculation. It is found that for some specified parameters the ground-state critical behavior is dominated by the incommensurate spin correlation parallel to the external magnetic field, around the 2/3 magnetization plateau. In the presence of interchain interaction it should be an incommensurate long-range order which possibly leads to a supersolid if coexisting with the usual transverse antiferromagnetic long-range order.

Dynamics and Incommensurate Spin Correlation of the Magnetization Plateau State in theS=1/2 Bond-Alternating Spin Chain with a Next-Nearest-Neighbor Interaction

Sei-ichiro Suga, Nobuyasu Haga

We investigate dynamical properties of the magnetization plateau state in the S=1/2 bond-alternating spin chain with a next-nearest-neighbor interaction. The dynamical structure factor shows characteristic behavior depending on the next-nearest-neighbor interaction α and the bond alternation δ. The static structure factor takes the largest value at q=π for small δ. With increasing δ, the wave number of the largest value shifts towards q=π/2, taking the incommensurate value.

Vector-spin-chirality order in a dimerized frustrated spin- 12 chain

Hiroshi Ueda, Shigeki Onoda

A frustrated spin-$1/2$ XXZ chain model comprising a ferromagnetic nearest-neighbor coupling with the bond alternation, ${J}_{1}(1\ifmmode\pm\else\textpm\fi{}\ensuremath{\delta})<0$, and an antiferromagnetic second-neighbor exchange coupling ${J}_{2}>0$ is studied at zero and weak magnetic fields by means of density-matrix renormalization-group calculations of order parameters, correlation functions, and the entanglement entropy, as well as an Abelian bosonization analysis. At zero magnetic field, the bond alternation $\ensuremath{\delta}>0$ suppresses the gapless phase characterized by a vector-chiral (VC) long-range order (LRO) and a quasi-LRO of an incommensurate spin spiral, whereas this phase occupies a large region in the space of ${J}_{1}/{J}_{2}$ and the easy-plane exchange anisotropy for $\ensuremath{\delta}=0$ [S. Furukawa et al., Phys. Rev. Lett. 105, 257205 (2010)]. Then, four gapped phases are found to appear as the exchange anisotropy varies from the SU(2)-symmetric case to the U(1)-symmetric case: the Haldane dimer (D${}_{+}$) phase with the same sign of the $x,y$- and $z$-component dimer order parameters, two VC dimer (VCD${}_{+}$/VCD${}_{\ensuremath{-}}$) phases with the sign of the $z$-component dimer order parameter being unaltered/reversed, and the even-parity dimer (D${}_{\ensuremath{-}}$) phase. At small magnetic fields, a field-induced ring-exchange interaction, which is proportional to a staggered scalar chirality and a magnetic flux penetrating the associated triangle, drives a transition from the D${}_{\ensuremath{-}}$ phase into a VC-Neel-dimer (VCND) phase, but not from the D${}_{+}$ phase. This VCND phase is stable up to the large magnetic field at which the Zeeman term closes the spin gap. A possible relevance to Rb${}_{2}$Cu${}_{2}$Mo${}_{3}$O${}_{12}$ is discussed.
