Quantum compass model on a chain, ladder and finite square clusters

Wojciech Brzezicki, Adolfo Avella, Ferdinando Mancini

I show the exact solutions for the quantum compass model on a chain and ladder which are based on mapping to quantum Ising models in certain subspaces. I discuss the ground state and thermodynamic properties of both models. I show the spin transformation that maps L×L quantum compass model to (L−1)×(L−1) spin model and its applications to compass clusters of the sizes 4×4 and 5×5. I discuss the ground‐state and thermodynamic properties of these models.

Effect of an interchain magnetic interaction on the dimerized state of a two-XY-quantum-spin-chain ladder

Laurent Hubert, A. Caillé

The model that we study is a two-XY-quantum-spin-chain system with Ising interchain magnetic interaction. This model, referred to as the spin-ladder model, is used as a first step to model the thermodynamic properties of low-dimensional spin system. Similarities between the spin-ladder model and the one-dimensional Hubbard model are used in our analysis. As a consequence we can qualitatively understand the heat capacity and spin susceptibilty and show that both measurements are necessary to analyze a spin-ladder system. We also show that the strong-interchain-coupling limit of the spin-ladder model is equivalent to a one-chain spin Heisenberg Hamiltonian. Furthermore, the spin-Peierls transition is investigated for small (\ensuremath{\Vert}I/2J\ensuremath{\Vert}\ensuremath{\ll}1) and large (\ensuremath{\Vert}I/2J\ensuremath{\Vert}\ensuremath{\gg}1) interchain coupling, and we show its occurrence at relatively small spin-phonon coupling (\ensuremath{\lambda}\ensuremath{\lesssim}0.6). From the results obtained for the small- and large-interchain-interaction limits, we propose the conjecture that the in-phase dimerization persists for all values of the interaction parameter at zero temperature.

High-temperature expansion of the tetrahedral spin-1/2 and spin-2 XXZ models

Onofre Rojas, E.V. Corrêa Silva, S. M. de Souza +1 more

We apply the cummulant method to obtain the high-temperature expansion of the Helmholtz free energy of the tetrahedral spin-1/2 and spin-2 XXZ models. The tetrahedral model is written as a composite spin-1 XXZ model, and some of its thermodynamic functions are compared to those of the ordinary spin-1 XXZ model. The composite spin-1 model is then mapped onto a fermion model, and it is shown that the contribution of the string Hamiltonian to thermodynamic functions at high temperatures cannot be neglected. The high-temperature expansion of the Helmholtz free energy of the anisotropic spin-$2$ XXZ chain is obtained up to order ${\ensuremath{\beta}}^{6}.$ Our results fit well the numerical quantum Monte Carlo data calculated by Yamamoto [Phys. Rev. B 53, 3364 (1996)] for the isotropic antiferromagnetic Heisenberg chain. We complement his high-temperature expansions for thermodynamic functions with terms of higher order in $\ensuremath{\beta}.$
