Low-lying excitations of the three-leg spin tube using the density-matrix renormalization group method
arXiv:0806.2474 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevB.78.054421
Abstract
Using the (dynamical) density-matrix renormalization group method, we study the low-energy physics of three-leg antiferromagnetic Heisenberg model where the periodic boundary conditions are applied in the rung direction. We confirm that the spin excitations are always gapped as long as the intra-ring couplings form a regular triangle. From precise finite-size-scaling analyses of the spin gap and dimerization order parameter, we also find that the spin gap is collapsed by very small asymmetric modulation of the intra-ring couplings. Moreover, the dynamical spin structure factors on the intra- and inter-leg correlations are calculated. It is demonstrated that the low-lying structure of the inter-leg spectra is particularly affected by the asymmetric modulation.
