Disordered Phases in Mixed Quantum Spin Chains

Ken'ichi Takano

Mixed quantum spin chains with periodicity are transformed into a nonlinear σ model (NLSM). The NLSM deduces a general formula which determines whether the system has a spin gap or not. The formula is applied to some concrete systems and their ground-state phase diagrams are derived. The odd period case is generally discussed.

Phase diagrams of period-4 spin chains consisting of three kinds of spins

Ken'ichi Takano

We study a period-4 antiferromagnetic mixed quantum spin chain consisting of three kinds of spins. When the ground state is singlet, the spin magnitudes in a unit cell are arrayed as (s-t, s, s+t, s) with integer or half-odd integer s and t (0 <= t < s). The spin Hamiltonian is mapped onto a nonlinear sigma model (NLSM) in a previously developed method. The resultant NLSM includes only two independent parameters originating from four exchange constants for fixed s and t. The topological angle in the NLSM determines the gapless phase boundaries between disordered phases in the parameter space. The phase diagrams for various s and t shows rich structures. We systematically explain the phases in the singlet-cluster-solid picture.
