Abstract

We have found the exact ground state for a large class of antiferromagnetic spin-1 models with nearest-neighbour interactions on a linear chain. All ground-state properties can be calculated. The ground state is determined as a matrix product of individual site states and has the properties of the Haldane scenario.

Exact ground states of spin-2 chains

M. A Ahrens, Andreas Schadschneider, J Zittartz

We use the matrix product approach to construct all optimum ground states of general anisotropic spin-2 chains with nearest-neighbour interactions and common symmetries. These states are exact ground states of the model and their properties depend on up to three parameters. We find three different antiferromagnetic Haldane phases, one weak antiferromagnetic and one weak ferromagnetic phase. The antiferromagnetic phases can be described as spin liquids with exponentially decaying correlation functions. The variety of phases found with the matrix product ansatz also gives insight into the behaviour of spin chains with arbitrary higher spins.

Ground-state spin pairing of general-spin linear-chain Heisenberg models

S. A. Alexander, Daniel Klein

Simple products of singlet-coupled spin pairs are identified as exact eigenstates for a certain class of antiferromagnetically signed linear-chain Heisenberg models with both bond-length alternation and next-nearest-neighbor interactions. Where such an eigenstate becomes a ground state, a cusp is noted to arise in the ground-state energy. Differences between the spin-1/2 and higher-spin cases appear.

Classification of matrix-product ground states corresponding to one-dimensional chains of two-state sites of nearest neighbor interactions

Amir H. Fatollahi, Mohammad Khorrami, Ahmad Shariati +1 more

A complete classification is given for one-dimensional chains with nearest-neighbor interactions having two states in each site, for which a matrix product ground state exists. The Hamiltonians and their corresponding matrix product ground states are explicitly obtained.

Exact Ground States of One-Dimensional Quantum Systems: Matrix Product Approach

Gang Su

By using the so-called matrix-product ground state approach, a few onedimensional quantum systems, including a frustrated spin-1/2 Heisenberg ladder, the ferromagnetic t-J-V model at half-filling, the antiferromagnetic Jz − V at 2/3 filling and the antiferromagnetic t − Jz − V model at halffilling, are solved exactly. The correlation functions in the ground states are calculated respectively. Some relevant results are also discussed.

Rigorous results on a first-order phase transition in antiferromagnetic spin-1/2 coupled chains

Yang Xian

Some rigorous results are presented for a first-order quantum phase transition between the dimerized state and Haldane-type state (i.e., a state similar to the ground state of the one-dimensional spin-1 Heisenberg chain) in the spin-1/2 coupled chains with nearest-neighbor and next-nearest-neighbor Heisenberg interactions. Also presented is a class of exact excited states in both phases. A partial phase diagram of the general spin-1/2 coupled chains is discussed.

Matrix-product-states approach to Heisenberg ferrimagnetic spin chains

Alexei K. Kolezhuk, H.-J. Mikeska, Shoji Yamamoto

We present a method of constructing matrix-product (MP) states and apply it to the ground state of the Heisenberg spin chain with alternating spins 1 and and antiferromagnetic exchange interactions between nearest neighbors (the simplest example of a quantum ferrimagnet). The elementary matrix state is constructed in a way that ensures given transformational properties under rotations, which allows one to fix the total spin, and its z projection, of the entire MP wave function. We compare the variational MP results with the numerical results obtained through a quantum Monte Carlo method; the agreement is found to be within 0.4% for the ground-state energy and 5% for the correlation functions.
