Are strong correlations of boundary spins possible in the absence of long-range order in the bulk?

Question about one-dimensional models with short range interaction of quantum spins, such as transverse Ising and Heisenberg models. Are there any examples when, in the ground state of the system, the ...

What is the signal of a spin wave?

From what I understand, for example in the Ising model, we can probe the correlation function via neutron scattering, and the correlation function gives the magnetic susceptibility for the system. Is ...

Generalised Ising models?

Are there generalised Ising models: The underslying mesh/connectivity is completely arbitrary - non rectangular, 3D...ND, complete connectivity should be possible The interaction potential is ...

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 ...

Boundary critical exponents of the 1D quantum XY model

Critical properties of the two-dimensional Ising model in the bulk and at the boundary are characterized by different critical exponent, see Ising model: exact results and McCoy: The boundary Ising ...
