Marshall-peierls Sign Rule in Frustrated Heisenberg Chains
نویسندگان
چکیده
We consider the frustrated antiferromagnetic s=1 Heisenberg quantum spin chain with regard to the Marshall-Peierls sign rule (MPSR). By using exact diagonalization data we investigate the breakdown of the MPSR in dependence on frustration and compare our findings with data for s=1/2. We calculate a critical value of frustration J 2 where the MPSR is violated. The extrapolation of this value to the infinite chain limit holds J 2 ≈ 0.016, lower than in the case of s=1/2 (J 2 ≈ 0.027). This points to a stronger influence of frustration in the case of s=1. Nevertheless the calculation of the weight of the Ising-states violating the MPSR shows that the MPSR holds approximately even for quite large frustration and may be used for numerical techniques.

The spin-half Heisenberg antiferromagnet (HAF) on the square and triangular lattices is studied using the coupled cluster method (CCM) technique of quantum many-body theory. The phase relations between different expansion coefficients of the ground-state wave function in an Ising basis for the square lattice HAF is exactly known via the Marshall-Peierls sign rule, although no equivalent sign ru...
متن کاملRaman Scattering from Frustrated Quantum Spin Chains
Magnetic Raman scattering from a frustrated spin–1/2 Heisenberg–chain is considered with a focus on the uniform phase of the spin–Peierls compound CuGeO3. The Raman intensity is analyzed in terms of a Loudon–Fleury scattering process using a spinless–fermion mean–field theory developed for the frustrated spin–chain. A comparison to experimental data is presented and the frustration and temperat...

We examine the ground state and the excitations of an one-dimensional Heisenberg spin 1/2 antiferromagnet with alternating dimers and four-spin plaquettes (dimer-plaquette chain). The properties of the system depend on the competing dimer and plaquette bonds. Several exact, exact-numerical and perturbational results are presented. We find that the system is gapped for all parameter values. The ...

We present a detailed numerical analysis of the low-energy excitation spectrum of a frustrated and dimerized spin S51/2 Heisenberg chain. In particular, we show that in the commensurate spin-Peierls phase the ratio of the singlet and triplet excitation gap is a universal function which depends on the frustration parameter only. We identify the conditions for which a second elementary triplet br...

The interplay of charge, spin and lattice degrees of freedom is studied for quasi-one-dimensional electron and spin systems coupled to quantum phonons. Special emphasis is put on the influence of the lattice dynamics on the Peierls transition. Using exact diagonalization techniques the ground-state and spectral properties of the Holstein model of spinless fermions and of a frustrated Heisenberg...
