Haldane-Gapped Spin Chains as Luttinger Liquids: Correlation Functions at Finite Field
نویسنده
چکیده
We study the behavior of Heisenberg, antiferromagnetic, integer-spin chains in the presence of a magnetic field exceeding the attendant spin gap. For temperatures much smaller than the gap, the spin chains exhibit Luttinger liquid behavior. We compute exactly both the corresponding Luttinger parameter and the Fermi velocity as a function of magnetic field. This enables the computation of a number of correlators from which we derive the spin conductance, the expected form of the dynamic structure factor relevant to inelastic neutron scattering experiments, and NMR relaxation rates. We also comment upon the robustness of the magnetically induced gapless phase both to finite temperature and finite couplings between neighbouring chains.

Haldane Gapped Spin Chains: Exact Low Temperature Expansions of Correlation Functions
We study both the static and dynamic properties of gapped, one-dimensional, Heisenberg, anti-ferromagnetic, spin chains at finite temperature through an analysis of the O(3) non-linear sigma model. Exploiting the integrability of this theory, we are able to compute an exact low temperature expansion of the finite temperature correlators. We do so using a truncated ‘form-factor’ expansion and so...
متن کاملBosonic representation of spin operators in the field-induced critical phase of spin-1 Haldane chains
A bosonized-field-theory representation of spin operators in the uniform-field-induced Tomonaga-Luttinger-liquid (TLL) phase in spin-1 Haldane chains is formulated by means of the non-Abelian (Tsvelik’s Majorana fermion theory) and the Abelian bosonizations and Furusaki-Zhang technique [Phys. Rev. B 60, 1175 (1999)]. It contains massive magnon fields as well as massless boson fields. From it, a...
متن کاملNeutron Scattering Study of Quantum Phase Transitions in Integral Spin Chains
Quite a few low-dimensional magnets are quantum-disordered “spin liquids” with a characteristic gap in the magnetic excitation spectrum. Among these are antiferromagnetic chains of integer quantum spins. Their generic feature are long-lived massive (gapped) excitations (magnons) that are subject to Zeeman splitting in external magnetic fields. The gap in one of the magnon branches decreases wit...
متن کاملCrossed sliding Luttinger liquid phase
We study a system of crossed spin-gapped and gapless Luttinger liquids. We establish the existence of a stable non-Fermi-liquid state with a finite-temperature, long-wavelength, isotropic electric conductivity that diverges as a power law in temperature T as T→0. This two-dimensional system has many properties characteristic of a true isotropic Luttinger liquid, though at zero temperature it be...
متن کاملUniversal temperature dependence of the magnetization of gapped spin chains.
A Haldane chain under applied field is analyzed numerically, and a clear minimum of magnetization is observed as a function of temperature. We elucidate its origin using the effective theory near the critical field and propose a simple method to estimate the gap from the magnetization at finite temperatures. We also demonstrate that there exists a relation between the temperature dependence of ...
