Bound states in weakly disordered spin ladders
We study the appearance of bound states in the spin gap of spin-1/2 ladders induced by weak bond disorder. Starting from the strong-coupling limit, i.e., the limit of weakly coupled dimers, we perform a projection on the single-triplet subspace and derive the position of bound states for the single impurity problem of one modified coupling as well as for small impurity clusters. The case of a f...
متن کاملChiral spin states and superconductivity.
It is shown that several different order parameters can be used to characterize a type of P and T -violating state for spin systems, that we call chiral spin states. There is a closely related, precise notion of chiral spin liquid states. We construct soluble models, based on P and T symmetric local spin Hamiltonians, with chiral spin ground states. Mean field theories leading to chiral spin li...
متن کاملSpin systems with dimerized ground states
In view of the numerous examples in the literature it is attempted to outline a theory of Heisenberg spin systems possessing dimerized ground states (“DGS systems”) which comprises all known examples. Whereas classical DGS systems can be completely characterized, it was only possible to provide necessary or sufficient conditions for the quantum case. First, for all DGS systems the interaction b...
متن کاملDiverging Heisenberg spin ladders: ground state and low energy excitations.
We consider a two-leg ladder system with interactions varying from constant rung coupling to systematic diminishing of rung interactions leading to diverging chains. We compare and contrast their ground state and excitation characteristics using density matrix renormalization group methods. We find that the finite spin gap in a constant coupling ladder develops into a gapless excitation with sl...
متن کاملAn Entanglement Study of Superposition of Qutrit Spin-Coherent States
Considering generalized concurrence as the criterion of entanglement, we study entanglement properties of superposition of two qutrit coherent states, as a function of their amplitudes. These states may attain maximum entanglement or no entanglement at all, depending on the choice of the parameters involved. The states revealing maximum entanglement also display the maximum violations of the Be...
