Valence Bond Solid order paramter

I'm confused about the valence bond solid (VBS) in condensed matter literature. The idea is a lattice is covered by spin singlets and thus spin rotational invariant. It seems that it's commonly ...

Ground state magnetization of the Heisenberg XXZ chain

The Hamiltonian of the Heisenberg XXZ chain (without external field) has the form $$ H = -J \sum_{n=1}^{N}\left(S_n^xS_{n+1}^x+ S_n^yS_{n+1}^y + \Delta S_n^zS_{n+1}^z\right). $$ It is known that this ...

Invariants of spin chains

I consider modelling a particular physical phenomenon using a spin chain (Ising, XYZ, Potts, etc.). Once I establish the mapping from experimental data to the states of spins for, I get the values $\{...

Anisotropy in spin chain hamiltonian

The Hamiltonian of XY Spin Chain on a lattice of N sites can be written as $$ H = -J\sum_{i=1}^N \left(\frac{1+\gamma}{2}\sigma_i^x\sigma_{i+1}^x + \frac{1-\gamma}{2}\sigma_i^y\sigma_{i+1}^y + \lambda ...

Lagrangian formulation of classical spin chains

Is there a way to construct a Lagrangian formulation of the classical dynamics of a spin chain - say a Heisenberg or XY chain? The Hamiltonians here are obvious.

Kagome Lattice: Spin-orbit coupling Hamiltonian in tight-binding models

Consider spin-orbit coupling (of strength $\lambda_1$) on lattice, with the below Hamiltonian $$H = i \lambda_1 \sum_{<ij>} ~\frac{E_{ij} \times R_{ij}}{|E_{ij} \times R_{ij}|} \cdot \sigma ~...

Existence of the Schwinger boson creation operator

Schwinger boson transformation is widely used in spin systems. It represents three Pauli matrices in the following form $$ s^+=\frac{1}{2}\sigma^+ = a^\dagger b \, , $$ $$ s^-=\frac{1}{2}\sigma^- = b^\...

Different concepts of phase transitions in spin models

I am currently revising the lecture notes in which different spin systems are analyzed, focussing on the occurrence (or absence) of phase transitions. Different techniques are applied to analyze the ...

Bose-Einstein distribution and magnons

I have some doubt about the Bose-Einstein distribution for magnons/spin-waves. A one-dimensional ferromagnet placed in an external magnetic field $\mathbf{B} = B\, \hat{z}$ obeys the Hamiltonian $$H ...
