AI总结:

本文研究了具有单离子各向异性和次近邻反铁磁作用的受阻自旋-$S$铁磁链中的少磁振子激发,通过将双磁振子问题映射为有效开链上的单粒子问题,解析和数值地揭示了束缚态条件、公度-非公度转变及多磁振子不稳定性区域。

摘要:

我们研究了有限尺寸自旋-$S$链中的少磁振子激发,该链具有铁磁最近邻(NN)相互作用 $J>0$ 和反铁磁次近邻(NNN)相互作用 $J'<0$,并存在单离子(SI)各向异性 $D$。我们首先揭示了零激发能态出现的条件。在各向同性情形 $Δ=Δ'=1$($Δ$ 和 $Δ'$ 为相应的各向异性参数)下,通过对最长 $12$ 个格点的短链进行精确对角化,确定了基态为铁磁态时 $J/|J'|$ 的阈值。利用一组精确的双磁振子布洛赫态,我们将双磁振子问题映射到一条同时具有 NN 和 NNN 跃迁的有效开链上的单粒子问题。我们计算了大尺寸系统的整个双磁振子激发谱,并发现最低能模中的公度-非公度转变在 $S=1/2$ 与更高自旋之间表现出不同行为,这是由 SI 各向异性和 NNN 相互作用的共同作用导致的。对于公度动量 $k=-π$,有效晶格解耦为两条可通过平面波拟设精确求解的 NN 开链。基于此,我们在 $Δ'-D/|J'|$ 平面内解析地确定了在能带边缘附近支持 SI 或 NNN 交换双磁振子束缚态的区域。特别地,我们证明了对于任意 $S\geq 1/2$,在能带边缘附近总存在一个能量更低的 NN 交换双磁振子束缚态。最后,我们利用自旋算符矩阵元方法数值计算了 $S=1/2$ 且 $n\leq5$ 的 $n$-磁振子谱。我们确定了有限链相应的 $n$-磁振子公度不稳定性区域,并观察到与先前文献一致的结果。

英文摘要:

We study few-magnon excitations in a finite-size spin-$S$ chain with ferromagnetic nearest-neighbor (NN) interaction $J>0$ and antiferromagnetic next-nearest-neighbor (NNN) interaction $J'<0$, in the presence of the single-ion (SI) anisotropy $D$. We first reveal the condition for the emergence of zero-excitation-energy states. In the isotropic case with $Δ=Δ'=1$ ($Δ$ and $Δ'$ are the corresponding anisotropy parameters), a threshold of $J/|J'|$ above which the ground state is ferromagnetic is determined by exact diagonalization for short chains up to $12$ sites. Using a set of exact two-magnon Bloch states, we then map the two-magnon problem to a single-particle one on an effective open chain with both NN and NNN hoppings. The whole two-magnon excitation spectrum is calculated for large systems and the commensurate-incommensurate transition in the lowest-lying mode is found to exhibit different behaviors between $S=1/2$ and higher spins due to the interplay of the SI anisotropy and the NNN interaction. For the commensurate momentum $k=-π$, the effective lattice is decoupled into two NN open chains that can be exactly solved via a plane-wave ansatz. Based on this, we analytically identify in the $Δ'-D/|J'|$ plane the regions supporting the SI or NNN exchange two-magnon bound states near the edge of the band. In particular, we prove that there always exists a lower-lying NN exchange two-magnon bound state near the band edge for arbitrary $S\geq 1/2$. Finally, we numerically calculate the $n$-magnon spectra for $S=1/2$ with $n\leq5$ by using a spin-operator matrix element method. The corresponding $n$-magnon commensurate instability regions are determined for finite chains and consistent results with prior literature are observed.
