We present a study of the one-dimensional S=1 antiferromagnetic spin chain with large easy plane anisotropy, with special emphasis on field-induced quantum phase transitions. Temperature and magnetic field dependence of magnetization, specific heat, and thermal conductivity is presented using a combination of numerical methods. In addition, the original S=1 model is mapped into the low-energy effective S=1/2 XXZ Heisenberg chain, a model which is exactly solvable using the Bethe ansatz technique. The effectiveness of the mapping is explored, and we show that all considered quantities are in qualitative, and in some cases quantitative, agreement. The thermal conductivity of the considered S=1 model is found to be strongly influenced by the underlying effective description. Furthermore, we elucidate the low-lying electron spin resonance spectrum, based on a semi--analytical Bethe ansatz calculation of the effective S=1/2 model.

Quasiparticles are physically motivated mathematical constructs for simplifying the seemingly complicated many-body description of solids. A complete understanding of their dynamics and the nature of the effective interactions between them provides rich information on real material properties at the microscopic level. In this work, we explore the dynamics and interactions of magnon quasiparticles in a ferromagnetic spin-1 Heisenberg chain with easy-axis onsite anisotropy, a model relevant for the explanation of recent terahertz optics experiments on NiNb$_2$O$_6$ [P. Chauhan et al., Phys. Rev. Lett. 124, 037203 (2020)], and nonequilibrium dynamics in ultra cold atomic settings [W.C. Chung et al., Phys. Rev. Lett. 126, 163203 (2021)]. We build a picture for the properties of clouds of few magnons with the help of exact diagonalization and density matrix renormalization group calculations supported by physically motivated Jastrow wavefunctions. We show how the binding energy of magnons effectively reduces with their number and explain how this energy scale is of direct relevance for dynamical magnetic susceptibility measurements. This understanding is used to make predictions for ultra cold-atomic platforms which are ideally suited to study the thermalization of multimagnon states. We simulate the non-equilibrium dynamics of these chains using the matrix product state based time-evolution block decimation algorithm and explore the dependence of revivals and thermalization on magnon density and easy-axis onsite anisotropy (which controls the strength of effective magnon interactions). We observe behaviors akin to those reported for many-body quantum scars which we explain with an analytic approximation that is accurate in the limit of small anisotropy.
We present a temperature and magnetic field dependence study of spin transport and magnetothermal corrections to the thermal conductivity in the spin S = 1/2 integrable easy-plane regime Heisenberg chain, extending an earlier analysis based on the Bethe ansatz method. We critically discuss the low temperature, weak magnetic field behavior, the effect of magnetothermal corrections in the vicinity of the critical field and their role in recent thermal conductivity experiments in 1D quantum magnets.
Magnetoelectric properties were investigated for an S=1/2 chain antiferromagnet CuCl2, which turns out to be the first example of non-chalcogen based spiral-spin induced multiferroics. Upon the onset of helimagnetic order propagating along the b-axis under zero magnetic field (H), we found emergence of ferroelectric polarization along the c-axis. Application of H along the b-axis leads to spin-flop transition coupled with drastic suppression of ferroelectricity, and rotation of H around the b-axis induces the rotation of spin-spiral plane and associated polarization direction. These behaviors are explained well within the framework of the inverse Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya model, suggesting the robustness of this magnetoelectric coupling mechanism even under the strong quantum fluctuation.
We present the results of the magnetization and dielectric constant measurements on untwinned single crystal samples of the frustrated S=1/2 chain cuprate LiCu_2O_2. Novel magnetic phase transitions were observed. A spin flop transition of the spiral spin plane was observed for the field orientations H||a,b. The second magnetic transition was observed at H~15 T for all three principal field directions. This high field magnetic phase is discussed as a collinear spin-modulated phase which is expected for an S=1/2 nearest-neighbor ferromagnetic and next-nearest-neighbor antiferromagnetic chain system.
Thermodynamic properties of the S=1/2 Heisenberg chain in transverse staggered magnetic field H^y_s and uniform magnetic field H^x perpendicular to the staggered field is studied by the finite-temperature density-matrix renormalization-group method. The uniform and staggered magnetization and specific heat are calculated from zero temperature to high temperatures up to T/J=4 under various strength of magnetic fields from H^y_s/J, H^x/J=0 to 2.4. The specific heat and magnetization of the effective Hamiltonian of the Yb_4As_3 are also presented, and field induced gap formation and diverging magnetic susceptibility at low temperature are shown.
