چکیده
We analyze the thermal conductivity of frustrated spin-1/2 chains within linear-response theory focusing on its frequency dependence at finite temperatures. Using exact diagonalization, the low-frequency limit of the thermal conductivity is discussed in the high-temperature regime.

Transport 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...

terest, because the thermal conductivity due to magnons, κmagnons, has been found to be large in some low-dimensional copper-oxides.1) Theoretically, the existence of a ballistic κmagnon has been predicted in integrable systems,2) and actually a large thermal conductivity associated with the ballistic κmagnon has been observed in one-dimensional Heisenberg chain systems SrCuO2 and Sr2CuO3. 3) A...

Abstract. – The thermal conductivity κ of the spin-1/2 chain cuprate BaCu2Si2O7 was measured along different crystallographic directions in the temperature region between 0.5 and 300 K. The thermal conductivity along the chain direction considerably exceeds that along perpendicular directions. Near the antif...

We have measured the thermal conductivity along the c-axis, κ∥c, parallel to ferromagnetic spin-chains of single crystals of the S = 1/2 quasi-one-dimensional spin system CsCuCl3 in magnetic fields up to 14 T, in order to investigate the thermal conductivity due to spins, κspin, and the change of thermal conductivity corresponding to the change of the spin state. In the temperature dependence o...
متن کاملThermal transport properties of disordered spin-1/2 systems
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 ...
