Interchain Coupling Effects and Solitons in CuGeO3
نویسندگان
چکیده
The effects of interchain coupling on solitons and soliton lattice structures in CuGeO3 are explored. It is shown that interchain coupling substantially increases the soliton width and changes the soliton lattice structures in the incommensurate phase. It is proposed that the experimentally observed large soliton width in CuGeO3 is mainly due to interchain coupling effects. 75.10-b, 75.10Jm, 75.30.Kz, 75.80.+q Typeset using REVTEX

Dynamics of weakly coupled random antiferromagnetic quantum spin chains
We study the low-energy collective excitations and dynamical response functions of weakly coupled random antiferromagnetic spin-1 /2 chains. The interchain coupling leads to Néel order at low temperatures. We use the real-space renormalization-group technique to tackle the intrachain couplings and treat the interchain couplings within the random phase approximation RPA . We show that the system...
متن کاملNéel ordered versus quantum disordered behavior in doped spin-Peierls and Haldane gap systems
I consider a theoretical description of recent experiments on doping the spin-Peierls compound CuGeO3 and the Haldane gap compounds PbNi2V2O8 and Y2BaNiO5. The effective theory is the one of randomly distributed spin-1/2 moments interacting with an exchange decaying exponentially with distance. The model has two phases in the (doping, interchain coupling) plane: (i) A Néel ordered phase at smal...
متن کاملPhase diagram of doped spin-Peierls systems
The phase diagram of a model describing doped CuGeO3 is derived. The model emphasizes the role of local moments released by the impurities and randomly distributed inside the gaped singlet background. The phase diagram is investigated by two methods: (i) in a mean field treatment of the interchain coupling and (ii) in a real space decimation procedure in a two dimensional model of randomly dist...
متن کاملMagnetic susceptibility due to disorder-induced neutral solitons in interacting polymer chains
We study the magnetic response due to neutral solitons induced by disorder in polymer materials. We account for interchain interactions, which, if sufficiently strong, result in a bond-ordered phase, in which the neutral solitons are bound into pairs. We analytically calculate the corresponding pair size distribution. As the spins of the solitons have a distance dependent antiferromagnetic coup...
متن کاملOrdered phases in spin-Peierls systems
The microscopic description of spin-Peierls substances is discussed. Particular attention is paid to the ordered (dimerised and incommensurably modulated) phases. Important points are the adiabatic and the antiadiabatic approach, generic soliton forms, elastic and magnetic interchain couplings. The wealth and the accuracy of experimental information collected for the first inorganic spin-Peierl...
