The antiferromagnetic spin-one chain is considerably one of the most fundamental quantum many-body systems, with symmetry protected topological order in the ground state. Here, we present results for its dynamical spin structure factor at finite temperatures, based on a combination of exact numerical diagonalization, matrix-product-state calculations and quantum Monte Carlo simulations. Open finite chains exhibit a sub-gap band in the thermal spectral functions, indicative of localized edge-states. Moreover, we observe the thermal activation of a distinct low-energy continuum contribution to the spin spectral function with an enhanced spectral weight at low momenta and its upper threshold. This emerging thermal spectral feature of the Haldane spin-one chain is shown to result from intra-band magnon scattering due to the thermal population of the single-magnon branch, which features a large bandwidth-to-gap ratio. These findings are discussed with respect to possible future studies on spin-one chain compounds based on inelastic neutron scattering.
Single-ion anisotropy in Haldane chains and form factor of the O(3) nonlinear sigma model
我们考虑自旋为1的单离子各向异性的Haldrons链,这存在于已知的Haldrons链材料。我们发展了一个微扰理论的各向异性,其中磁振子-磁振子相互作用是很重要的,即使在低温极限。在O(3)非线性西格玛模型中精确的两粒子形状因子导致了包括动力学结构因子和电子自旋共振频移在内的几个动力学性质的定量预测。这些结果与数值计算结果以及Halcantine链材料Ni(C $_5$ H $_{14}$ N $_2$)$_2$ N $_3$(PF $_6$)的实验数据非常吻合。
Quantized excitation spectra by magnon confinement in quasi-one-dimensional S=1 spin systems
采用无限时间演化块抽取算法计算了具有单离子各向异性和键交替的准一维(q1 D)S=1反铁磁自旋系统的动力学自旋结构因子.我们发现,当考虑到链间弱相互作用所产生的交错场时,来自磁振子的激发连续谱是量子化的。当易轴各向异性较强且基态位于Néel相深处时,量子化激发谱的激发能可由Airy函数的负零点很好地解释.这种磁振子连续谱的量子化是自旋约束的对应物,最近在q1 D S=1/2反铁磁体中讨论了自旋约束。我们进一步证明,当存在交错场时,量子化激发谱出现在无交错场相图的Haldom相和Néel相之间的相界.然而,量子化的激发光谱消失在单重态二聚体相。
Gutzwiller Approach for Elementary Excitations in $S=1$ Antiferromagnetic Chains
在以前的论文[Phys. Rev. B 85,195144(2012)]中,变分Monte Carlo方法(基于Gutzwiller投影态)被推广到$S=1$系统.该方法为$S=1$双线性-双二次(BLBQ)Heisenberg链的带隙相位提供了很好的实验基态。本文将这种方法推广到研究$S=1$链中的低阶元激发。计算了BLBQ海森堡链的单磁振子和双磁振子激发谱,所得结果与文献中的最新数据符合得很好。在我们的方法中,Haldom相和二聚体相之间的激发光谱的差异(如偶/奇尺寸效应)可以从它们对应的平均场论的不同拓扑结构来理解。我们特别研究了Takhtajan-Babujian临界点。尽管“元激发”是自旋为1的磁振子,不同于Bethe解中自旋为1/2的磁振子,但我们证明了由我们的理论计算的激发谱、临界指数($η=0.74$)和中心荷($c=1.45$)与Bethe解和共形场论的预言符合得很好。
