On the Finite Temperature Drude Weight of the Anisotropic Heisenberg Chain

Abstract

We present a study of the Drude weight $D(T)$ of the spin-1/2 $XXZ$ chain in the gapless regime. The thermodynamic Bethe ansatz (TBA) is applied in two different ways. In the first application we employ the particle basis of magnons and their bound states. In this case we rederive and considerably extend earlier work in the literature. However, in the course of our investigation we find arguments that cast doubt on the applicability of the TBA in this case. In a second application by use of the spinon and anti-spinon particle basis we obtain completely different results. Only for anisotropy parameter $Δ$ close to 0 we find that $D(T)$ is a monotonously decaying function of temperature. For $Δ$ close to 1 the behaviour is entirely different showing a finite temperature maximum. Also for the isotropic antiferromagnetic chain ($Δ=1$) the results for $D(T)$ are finite for T=0 as well as for $T>0$ with an infinite positive slope at T=0.

Finite-temperature Drude weight within the anisotropic Heisenberg chain

J. Herbrych, Peter Prelovšek, X. Zotos

Finite-temperature Drude weight (spin stiffness) $D(T)$ is evaluated within the anisotropic spin-$1/2$ Heisenberg model on a chain using the exact diagonalization for small systems. It is shown that odd-side chains allow for more reliable scaling and results, in particular, if one takes into account corrections due to low-frequency finite-size anomalies. At high $T$ and zero magnetization $D$ is shown to scale to zero approaching the isotropic point $\ensuremath{\Delta}=1$. On the other hand, for $\ensuremath{\Delta}>2$ at all magnetizations $D$ is nearly exhausted with the overlap with the conserved energy current. Results for the $T$ variation $D(T)$ are also presented.

Spin Drude weight for the integrable XXZ chain with arbitrary spin

Shinya Ae, Kazumitsu Sakai

Abstract Using generalized hydrodynamics (GHD), we exactly evaluate the finite-temperature spin Drude weight at zero magnetic field for the integrable XXZ chain with arbitrary spin and easy-plane anisotropy. First, we construct the fusion hierarchy of the quantum transfer matrices (T-functions) and derive functional relations (T- and Y-systems) satisfied by the T-functions and certain combinations of them (Y-functions). Through analytical arguments, the Y-system is reduced to a set of non-linear integral equations, equivalent to the thermodynamic Bethe ansatz (TBA) equations. Then, employing GHD, we calculate the spin Drude weight at arbitrary finite temperatures. As a result, a characteristic fractal-like structure of the Drude weight is observed at arbitrary spin, similar to the spin-1/2 case. In our approach, the solutions to the TBA equations (i.e. the Y-functions) can be explicitly written in terms of the T-functions, thus allowing for a systematic calculation of the high-temperature limit of the Drude weight.

Zero-frequency transport properties of one-dimensional spin- 12 systems

We report a detailed analysis of the Drude weights for both thermal and spin transport in one-dimensional spin-$\frac{1}{2}$ systems by means of exact diagonalization and analytic approaches at finite temperatures. Transport properties are studied first for the integrable $\mathrm{XXZ}$ model and second for various nonintegrable systems such as the dimerized chain, the frustrated chain, and the spin ladder. We compare our results obtained by exact diagonalization and mean-field theory with those of the Bethe ansatz, bosonization, and other numerical studies in the case of the anisotropic Heisenberg model both in the gapless and gapped regime. In particular, we find indications that the Drude weight for spin transport is finite in the thermodynamic limit for the isotropic chain. For the nonintegrable models, a finite-size analysis of the numerical data for the Drude weights is presented, covering the entire parameter space of the dimerized and frustrated chain. We also discuss which conclusions can be drawn from bosonization regarding the question of whether the Drude weights are finite or not. One of our main results is that the Drude weights vanish in the thermodynamic limit for nonintegrable models.

Finite Temperature Drude Weight of the One-Dimensional Spin- 1/2 Heisenberg Model

X. Zotos

Using the Bethe ansatz method, the zero frequency contribution (Drude weight) to the spin current correlations is analyzed for the easy plane antiferromagnetic Heisenberg model. The Drude weight is a monotonically decreasing function of temperature for all $0\ensuremath{\le}\ensuremath{\Delta}\ensuremath{\le}1$; it approaches the zero temperature value with a power law and appears to vanish for all finite temperatures at the isotropic $\ensuremath{\Delta}\phantom{\rule{0ex}{0ex}}=\phantom{\rule{0ex}{0ex}}1$ point.

The spin Drude weight of the spin-1/2 $XXZ$ chain: An analytic finite size study

Andreas Klümper, Kazumitsu Sakai

The Drude weight for the spin transport of the spin-1/2 $XXZ$ Heisenberg chain in the critical regime is evaluated exactly for finite temperatures. We combine the thermodynamic Bethe ansatz with the functional relations of type $Y$-system satisfied by the row-to-row transfer matrices. This makes it possible to evaluate the asymptotic behavior of the finite temperature spin Drude weight with respect to the system size. As a result, the Drude weight converges to the results obtained by Zotos (Phys. Rev. Lett. 82, 1764 (1999)), however with very slow convergence upon increase of the system size. This strong size dependence may explain that extrapolations from various numerical approaches yield conflicting results.

A TBA approach to thermal transport in the XXZ Heisenberg model

X. Zotos

Abstract We show that the thermal Drude weight and magnetothermal coefficient of the 1D easy-plane Heisenberg model can be evaluated by an extension of the Bethe ansatz thermodynamics formulation by Takahashi and Suzuki (1972 Prog. Theor. Phys . 48 2187). They have earlier been obtained by the quantum transfer matrix method (Klümper 1999 Z. Phys . B 91 507). Furthermore, this approach can be applied to the study of the far-out of equilibrium energy current generated at the interface between two semi-infinite chains held at different temperatures.
