Currents in the Heisenberg chain with a weak link
نویسنده
چکیده
The Heisenberg chain with a weak link is studied, as a simple example of a quantum ring with a constriction or defect. The Heisenberg chain is equivalent to a spinless electron gas under a Jordan-Wigner transformation. Using density matrix renormalization group and quantum Monte Carlo methods we calculate the spin/charge stiffness of the model, which determines the strength of the ‘persistent currents’. The stiffness is found to scale to zero in the weak link case, in agreement with renormalization group arguments of Eggert and Affleck, and Kane and Fisher.

Design and Simulation of a New DC Power Supply Based on Dual Bridge Matrix Converter
A conventional high power DC power supply systems consist of a three-phase diode rectifier followed by a high frequency converter to supply loads at regulated DC voltage. These rectifiers draw significant harmonic currents from the utility, resulting in poor input power factor. In this paper, a DC power supply based on dual-bridge matrix converter (DBMC) with reduced number of switches is p...

By increasing the penetration level of the inverter-based distributed generations (IBDGs) in power system, their fault ride through capability has become one of the essential issues of the new grid codes. This paper proposes a novel method to limit inverter fault currents which are used in DGs. To achieve FRT, interface-inverter operates as a controlled voltage source during normal operation as...
متن کاملExcitation Spectrum of the Spin-1/2 Ferromagnetic-Antiferromagnetic Alternating Heisenberg Chain
The natural explanation of the excitation spectrum of the spin1 antiferromagnetic Heisenberg chain is given from the viewpoint of the spin-1/2 ferromagnetic-antiferromagnetic alternating Heisenberg chain. The energy spectrum of the latter is calculated with fixed momentum k by numerical diagonalization of finite size systems. It consists of a branch of propagating triplet pair (triplet wave) an...
متن کاملDriven isotropic Heisenberg spin chain with arbitrary boundary twisting angle: exact results.
We consider an open isotropic Heisenberg quantum spin chain, coupled at the ends to boundary reservoirs polarized in different directions, which sets up a twisting gradient across the chain. Using a matrix product ansatz, we calculate the exact magnetization profiles and magnetization currents in the nonequilibrium steady state of a chain with N sites. The magnetization profiles are harmonic fu...
