Abstract

We study the 1D ferromagnetic Ising (spin-1/2) model with the Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya (DM) interaction. We analyze the low energy excitation spectrum and the ground state magnetic phase diagram using the Lanczos method. The DM interaction-dependency is calculated for the low-energy excitation spectrum, spiral order parameter and spin-spin correlation functions. We show that a metamagnetic quantum phase transition occurs between the ferromagnetic and spiral phases. The existence of the metamagnetic phase transition is confirmed, using the variational matrix product states approach.
