Theory of Raman scattering in one-dimensional quantum spin-1/2 antiferromagnets.

چکیده
We study theoretically the Raman-scattering spectra in the one-dimensional (1D) quantum spin-1/2 antiferromagnets. The analysis reveals that their low-energy dynamics is exquisitely sensitive to various perturbations to the Heisenberg chain with nearest-neighbor exchange interactions, such as magnetic anisotropy, longer-range exchange interactions, and bond dimerization. These weak interactions are mainly responsible for the Raman scattering and give rise to different types of spectra as functions of frequency, temperature, and external field. In contrast to the Raman spectra in higher dimensions in which the two-magnon process is dominant, those in 1D antiferromagnets provide much richer information on these perturbations.

Magnetic raman scattering in two-dimensional spin-1/2 Heisenberg antiferromagnets: Spectral shape anomaly and magnetostrictive effects.
We calculate the Raman spectrum of the two-dimensional (2D) spin-1/2 Heisenberg antiferromagnet by exact diagonalization and quantum Monte Carlo techniques on clusters of up to 144 sites and, on a 16-site cluster, by considering the phonon-magnon interaction which leads to random fluctuations of the exchange integral. Results are in good agreement with experiments on various high-Tc precursors,...
متن کاملSpin dynamics and transport in gapped one-dimensional Heisenberg antiferromagnets at nonzero temperatures
We present the theory of nonzero temperature (T ) spin dynamics and transport in one-dimensional Heisenberg antiferromagnets with an energy gap ∆. For T ∆, we develop a semiclassical picture of thermally excited particles. Multiple inelastic collisions between the particles are crucial, and are described by a two-particle S-matrix which has a super-universal form at low momenta. This is establi...

Motivated by various spin-1/2 compounds like Cs2CuCl4 or κ-(BEDTTTF)2Cu2(CN)3, we derive a Raman-scattering operator à la Shastry and Shraiman for various geometries. For T=0, the exact spectra is computed by Lanczos algorithm for finite-size clusters. We perform a systematic investigation as a function of J2/J1, the exchange constant ratio: ranging from J2 = 0, the well known square-lattice ca...

The Exact Diagonalization method is a powerful numerical tool to study Quantum Many Body systems on nite clusters.

متن کاملImpurity spin textures across conventional and deconfined quantum critical points of two-dimensional antiferromagnets
We describe the spin distribution in the vicinity of a non-magnetic impurity in a two-dimensional antiferromagnet undergoing a transition from a magnetically ordered Néel state to a paramagnet with a spin gap. The quantum critical ground state in a finite system has total spin S = 1/2 (if the system without the impurity had an even number of S = 1/2 spins), and recent numerical studies in a dou...
