Quasi-one-dimensional magnet NiCl$_2cdot$4SC(NH$_2$)$_2$, usually abbreviated as DTN, does not order at zero field down to $T=0$: due to the strong single-ion anisotropy of the easy plane type acting on $S=1$ Ni$^{2+}$ ions, the $S_z=0$ ground state is separated from $S_z=pm 1$ excitations by an energy gap. Once the magnetic field is applied along the main anisotropy axis, the gap closes at $B_{c1}=2.18$ T and the field-induced antiferromagnetic order arises. The low-energy excitations spectrum of this field-induced ordered state includes two branches of excitations, one of them have to be a gapless Goldstone mode. Recent studies of excitations spectrum in a field-induced ordered state of DTN (T.Soldatov et.al, Phys.Rev.B 101, 104410 (2020)) have revealed that Goldstone mode became gapped as magnetic field deviates from the main symmetry axis. This paper proposes simple description of antiferromagnetic resonance modes of quasi-one-dimensional quantum $S=1$ magnet with strong single-ion anisotropy. The approach used is based on a combination of the strong coupling model for the anisotropic spin chain with the conventional mean-field model of antiferromagnetic resonance. The resulting model fits to the known experimental results without additional tuning parameters.
The field-induced transition in one-dimensional S=1 Heisenberg antiferromagnet with single-ion anisotropy in the presence of a transverse magnetic field is obtained on the basis of the Schwinger boson mean-field theory. The behaviors of the specific heat and susceptibility as functions of temperature as well as the applied transverse field are explored, which are found to be different from the results obtained under a longitudinal field. The anomalies of the specific heat at low temperatures, which might be an indicative of a field-induced transition from a Luttinger liquid phase to an ordered phase, are explicitly uncovered under the transverse field. A schematic phase diagram is proposed. The theoretical results are compared with experimental observations.
We explore the fidelity susceptibility and the quantum coherence along with the entanglement entropy in the ground-state of one-dimensional spin-1 XXZ chains with the rhombic single-ion anisotropy. By using the techniques of density matrix renormalization group, effects of the rhombic single-ion anisotropy on a few information theoretical measures are investigated, such as the fidelity susceptibility, the quantum coherence and the entanglement entropy. Their relations with the quantum phase transitions are also analyzed. The phase transitions from the Y-N{e}el phase to the Large-$E_x$ or the Haldane phase can be well characterized by the fidelity susceptibility. The second-order derivative of the ground-state energy indicates all the transitions are of second order. We also find that the quantum coherence, the entanglement entropy, the Schmidt gap can be used to detect the critical points of quantum phase transitions. Conclusions drawn from these quantum information observables agree well with each other. Finally we provide a ground-state phase diagram as functions of the exchange anisotropy $Delta$ and the rhombic single-ion anisotropy $E$.
We consider the dimerized spin-1 $XXZ$ chain with single-ion anisotropy $D$. In absence of an explicit dimerization there are three phases: a large-$D$, an antiferromagnetically ordered and a Haldane phase. This phase structure persists up to a critical dimerization, above which the Haldane phase disappears. We show that for weak dimerization the phases are separated by Gaussian and Ising quantum phase transitions. One of the Ising transitions terminates in a critical point in the universality class of the dilute Ising model. We comment on the relevance of our results to experiments on quasi-one-dimensional anisotropic spin-1 quantum magnets.
Antiferromagnetic resonance (AFMR) of BaCu2Si2O7 and a microscopic theory of the magnetic anisotropy of spin 1/2 chain compounds with folded CuO3 geometry being in good agreement with the available data are presented. The AFMR studies at 4.2 K show the existence of two gaps (40 and 76 GHz) at zero magnetic field and of two spin re-orientation transitions for H||c. The microscopic origin of the two gaps is shown to be Hunds rule coupling which leads to a residual anisotropy beyond the compensation of the Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya term by the symmetric anisotropy which would be valid without Hunds coupling.
Anisotropy effects can significantly control or modify the ground-state properties of magnetic systems. Yet the origin and the relative importance of the possible anisotropy terms is difficult to assess experimentally and often ambiguous. Here we propose a technique which allows a very direct distinction between single-ion and two-ion anisotropy effects. The method is based on high-resolution neutron spectroscopic investigations of magnetic cluster excitations. This is exemplified for manganese dimers and tetramers in the mixed compounds CsMnxMg1-xBr3 (0.05leqxleq0.40). Our experiments provide evidence for a pronounced anisotropy of the order of 3% of the dominant bilinear exchange interaction, and the anisotropy is dominated by the single-ion term. The detailed characterization of magnetic cluster excitations offers a convenient way to unravel anisotropy effects in any magnetic material.
