چکیده
We study the excitation spectrum and ground state properties of the two-leg S = 1 2 quantum spin ladder with staggered dimerization. Two massive phases, separated by a critical line are found, as predicted by previous analysis , based on the non-linear sigma model (NLSM). We have used dimer series expansions, exact diagonalization of small clusters and diagrammatic analysis of an effective interacting Bose gas Hamiltonian, obtained by using the bond operator representation for spins. We compute the excitation spectrum in the phase, dominated by strong rungs in the parameter regimes far away and close to the point of instability. The exact location of the phase boundary is determined.

The ground-state properties of the square-lattice spin-1/2 Heisenberg antiferromagnet with spatially anisotropic couplings are investigated by Green’s-function projection approaches. The staggered magnetization and the two-spin correlators are calculated; the competition between magnetic longand short-range order is discussed in comparison with experiments on Sr2[Ca2]CuO3.
متن کاملOne-dimensional spin-liquid without magnon excitations
It is shown that a sufficiently strong four-spin interaction in the spin-1/2 spin ladder can cause dimerization. Such interaction can be generated either by phonons or (in the doped state) by the conventional Coulomb repulsion between the holes. The dimerized phases are thermodynamically undistinguishable from the Haldane phase, but have dramatically different correlation functions: the dynamic...
متن کاملJa n 19 99 Spectrum of elementary and collective excitations in the dimerized S = 1 / 2 Heisenberg chain with frustration
We have studied the low-energy excitation spectrum of a dimerized and frustrated antiferromagnetic Heisenberg chain. We use an analytic approach, based on a description of the excitations as triplets above a strong-coupling singlet ground state. The quasiparticle spectrum is calculated by treating the excitations as a dilute Bose gas with infinite on-site repulsion. Additional singlet (S=0) and...

The uniaxial pressure dependences of the exchange coupling and the structural distortion in the dimerized phase of CuGeO3 are analyzed. A minimum magnetic dimerization of 3 % is obtained, incompatible with an adiabatic approach to the spin–Peierls transition. Exploring the properties of an Heisenberg spin chain with dynamical spin-phonon coupling, the dimerization dependence of the spin excitat...
