二维量子Compass模型的对称性和谱

Symmetry properties and spectra of the two-dimensional quantum compass model

Wojciech Brzezicki, Andrzej M. Oleś

摘要:

我们利用二维量子罗盘模型的精确对称性,导出了L=6以下的$L\times L$团簇能谱中的非等价不变子空间。这种对称性允许人们将原始的$L\times L$罗盘簇简化为具有修改的相互作用的$(L-1)\times (L-1)$罗盘簇。这一步是至关重要的,并使:(i)精确对角化的$6\times 6$量子罗盘集群,和(ii)找到集群的比热L=6,两个特征的能量尺度。我们研究了基态和第一激发态的性质,并给出了激发能随体系尺寸的外推。我们的分析提供了物理见解的性质实现在有限温度下的量子指南针模型中的三阶。我们认为,在各向同性的相互作用点的量子相变是二阶与一些不连续的过渡的混合物,如熵,两种类型之间的重叠?顺序(水平和垂直键)和临界指数的存在。比热外推到$L\to\infty$极限表明量子罗盘模型的经典性质和高简并度的基态与n阶。

英文摘要:

We use exact symmetry properties of the two-dimensional quantum compass model to derive nonequivalent invariant subspaces in the energy spectra of $L\times L$ clusters up to L=6. The symmetry allows one to reduce the original $L\times L$ compass cluster to the $(L-1)\times (L-1)$ one with modified interactions. This step is crucial and enables: (i) exact diagonalization of the $6\times 6$ quantum compass cluster, and (ii) finding the specific heat for clusters up to L=6, with two characteristic energy scales. We investigate the properties of the ground state and the first excited states and present extrapolation of the excitation energy with increasing system size. Our analysis provides physical insights into the nature of nematic order realized in the quantum compass model at finite temperature. We suggest that the quantum phase transition at the isotropic interaction point is second order with some admixture of the discontinuous transition, as indicated by the entropy, the overlap between two types of nematic order (on horizontal and vertical bonds) and the existence of the critical exponent. Extrapolation of the specific heat to the $L\to\infty$ limit suggests the classical nature of the quantum compass model and high degeneracy of the ground state with nematic order.
