Ground state and excitations of a spin chain with orbital degeneracy
نویسندگان
چکیده
The one-dimensional Heisenberg model in the presence of orbital degeneracy is studied at the SU(4) symmetric point by means of Bethe ansatz. Following Sutherland’s previous work on an equivalent model, we discuss the ground state and the low-lying excitations more extensively in connection to the spin systems with orbital degeneracy. We show explicitly that the ground state is a SU(4) singlet. We study the degeneracies of the elementary excitations and the spectra of the generalized magnons consisting of these excitations. We also discuss the complex 2-strings in the context of the Bethe ansatz solutions. @S0163-1829~99!00238-6#

متن کامل1 6 D ec 1 99 8 Elementary Excitations in Magnetically Ordered Systems with Orbital Degeneracy
The Holstein-Primakoff transformation is generalized to develop a quantum flavor wave theory for spin systems with orbital degeneracy. Elementary excitations of ordered ground states consist of spin, orbital , and spinorbital waves. Spin and spin-orbital waves couple to each other due to orbital anisotropy and Hund’s rule, resulting in new modes observable by inelastic neutron scattering. In th...
متن کاملTheory of electrons with orbital degeneracy
The Hubbard model for electrons with orbital degeneracy is shown to have an underlying SUd(4) symmetry of spin-orbital double. A hidden charge SUc(4) symmetry is exposed and an extended Lieb-Mattis transformation, which maps these two symmetries into each other, is given. On the basis of elementary degenerate perturbative theory, it is shown that the system with strong repulsive coupling is equ...
متن کاملThe ground state phases of orbitally degenerate spinel oxides
I review the microscopic spin-orbital Hamiltonian and ground state properties of spin one-half spinel oxides with threefold t2g orbital degeneracy. It is shown that for any orbital configuration a ground state of corresponding spin only Hamiltonian is infinitely degenerate in the classical limit. The extensive classical degeneracy is lifted by the quantum nature of the spins, an effect similar ...
متن کاملFractional charges in pyrochlore lattices
Abstract. A pyrochlore lattice is considered where the average electron number of electrons per site is half–integer, concentrating on the case of exactly half an electron per site. Strong on-site repulsions are assumed, so that all sites are either empty or singly occupied. Where there are in addition strong nearest–neighbour repulsions, a tetrahedron rule comes into effect, as previously sugg...
