Spin-orbital entanglement near quantum phase transitions
Spin-orbital entanglement in the ground state of a one-dimensional SU(2)⊗SU(2) spin-orbital model is analyzed using exact diagonalization of finite chains. For S = 1/2 spins and T = 1/2 pseudospins one finds that the quantum entanglement is similar at the SU(4) symmetry point and in the spin-orbital valence bond state. We also show that quantum transitions in spin-orbital models turn out to be ...
متن کاملMagnetic Properties and Phase Transitions in a Spin-1 Random Transverse Ising Model on Simple Cubic Lattice
Within the effective-field theory with correlations (EFT), a transverse random field spin-1 Ising model on the simple cubic (z=6) lattice is studied. The phase diagrams, the behavior of critical points, transverse magnetization, internal energy, magnetic specific heat are obtained numerically and discussed for different values of p the concentration of the random transverse field.
متن کاملQuantum Spin Systems at Finite Temperature
We develop a novel approach to phase transitions in quantum spin models based on a relation to the corresponding classical spin systems. Explicitly, we show that whenever chessboard estimates can be used to prove a phase transition in the classical model, the corresponding quantum model will have a similar phase transition, provided the inverse temperature β and the magnitude of the quantum spi...
متن کاملOptically induced spin disorder in YVO3
Yttrium vanadate (YVO3) is an interesting material for studying optically induced phase transitions because it exhibits a rich variety of coupled structural and correlated electronic phases. We show that optical excitation effectively decouples spin and magnetic order and results in rapid spin melting within 4 ps while orbital order survives for longer than 100 ps. Solid to solid phase transiti...
متن کاملOrbital Peierls state in a magnetic insulator
Neutron spectroscopy has revealed a highly unusual magnetic structure and dynamics in YVO3, an insulating pseudocubic perovskite that undergoes a series of temperature induced phase transitions between states with different spin and orbital ordering patterns. A quantitative description of the neutron data is obtained by a theoretical analysis of the spin and orbital correlations of a realistic ...
