The antiferromagnetic $J_1-J_2$ model is a spin-1/2 chain with isotropic exchange $J_1 > 0$ between first neighbors and $J_2 = αJ_1$ between second neighbors. The model supports both gapless quantum phases with nondegenerate ground states and gapped phases with $Δ(α) > 0$ and doubly degenerate ground states. Exact thermodynamics is limited to $α= 0$, the linear Heisenberg antiferromagnet (HAF). Exact diagonalization of small systems at frustration $α$ followed by density matrix renormalization group (DMRG) calculations returns the entropy density $S(T,α,N)$ and magnetic susceptibility $χ(T,α,N)$ of progressively larger systems up to $N = 96$ or 152 spins. Convergence to the thermodynamics limit, $S(T,α)$ or $χ(T,α)$, is demonstrated down to $T/J \sim 0.01$ in the sectors $α< 1$ and $α> 1$. $S(T,α)$ yields the critical points between gapless phases with $S^\prime(0,α) > 0$ and gapped phases with $S^\prime(0,α) = 0$. The $S^\prime(T,α)$ maximum at $T^*(α)$ is obtained directly in chains with large $Δ(α)$ and by extrapolation for small gaps. A phenomenological approximation for $S(T,α)$ down to $T = 0$ indicates power-law deviations $T^{-γ(α)}$ from $\exp(-Δ(α)/T)$ with exponent $γ(α)$ that increases with $α$. The $χ(T,α)$ analysis also yields power-law deviations, but with exponent $η(α)$ that decreases with $α$. $S(T,α)$ and the spin density $ρ(T,α) = 4Tχ(T,α)$ probe the thermal and magnetic fluctuations, respectively, of strongly correlated spin states. Gapless chains have constant $S(T,α)/ρ(T,α)$ for $T < 0.10$. Remarkably, the ratio decreases (increases) with $T$ in chains with large (small) $Δ(α)$.

Entropy and electronic orders of the three-orbital Hubbard model with antiferromagnetic Hund coupling
多轨道Hubbard系统中的反铁磁Hund耦合导致轨道冻结和相关的超导不稳定性,以及在奇数轨道的情况下的独特的复合订单。虽然半满三轨道模型的富相图最近已被详细探讨,掺杂系统的性质仍有待澄清。在这里,我们通过计算半填充模型的熵来补充以前的研究,该模型表现出轨道冻结区域的增加和复合有序相的抑制。掺杂相关相图表明,复合有序态可以稳定在掺杂的莫特制度,如果传统的电子秩序被抑制的挫折。虽然反铁轨道序占主导地位的填充范围$2\lesssim n \le 3$,和铁轨道序的强相互作用区域的$1\lesssim n < 2$,我们发现一个非常高的$T_c$周围$n=1.5$(四分之一填充)的超导性。在掺杂体系中,轨道冻结交叉与超导电性之间也存在着密切的联系。
