Thermal transport properties of disordered spin-1/2 systems

چکیده
This work studies heat transport of bond-disordered spin-1/2 chains. As an example, the XX case is analyzed, which corresponds to a model of noninteracting spinless fermions. Within the fermion representation, the singleparticle eigenenergies are determined numerically, which allow one to compute transport coefficients. Since the ballistic transport properties of a clean chain are destroyed by disorder, the focus is on the frequency dependence of the thermal conductivity and on a qualitative comparison with the spin conductivity, both at finite temperatures.

Spin-polarized transport through a zigzag-edge graphene flake embedded between two armchair nanoribbons electrodes
We study the coherent spin-polarized transport through a zigzag-edge graphene flake (ZGF), using Hubbard model in the nearest neighbor approximation within the framework of the Green function’s technique and Landauer formalism. The system considered consists of electrode/ (ZGF)/electrode, in which the electrodes are chosen to be armchair nanoribbons. The study was performed for two types of ele...
متن کاملTransport in quasi one-dimensional spin-1/2 systems
We present numerical results for the spin and thermal conductivity of one-dimensional (1D) quantum spin systems. We contrast the properties of integrable models such as the spin-1/2 XXZ chain against nonintegrable ones such as frustrated and dimerized chains. The thermal conductivity of the XXZ chain is ballistic at finite temperatures, while in the nonintegrable models, this quantity is argued...
متن کامل4 A pr 2 00 9 Dynamics and transport of the Z 2 spin liquid : application to κ -
We describe neutron scattering, NMR relaxation, and thermal transport properties of Z2 spin liquids in two dimensions. Comparison to recent experiments on the spin S = 1/2 triangular lattice antiferromagnet in κ-(ET)2Cu2(CN)3 shows that this compound may realize a Z2 spin liquid. We argue that the topological ‘vison’ excitations dominate thermal transport, and that recent thermal conductivity e...

We describe how to obtain electronic transport properties of disordered graphene, including the tight binding model and nearest neighbor hopping. We present a new method for computing, electronic transport wave function and Greens function of the disordered Graphene. In this method, based on the small rectangular approximation, break up the potential barriers in to small parts. Then using the f...
متن کاملTransport in One Dimensional Quantum Systems
In this Chapter, we present recent theoretical developments on the finite temperature transport of one dimensional electronic and magnetic quantum systems as described by a variety of prototype models. In particular, we discuss the unconventional transport and dynamic spin, electrical, thermal properties implied by the integrability of models as the spin-1/2 Heisenberg chain or Hubbard. Further...
