Magnetocaloric effect in integrable spin-s chains

Abstract

We study the magnetocaloric effect for the integrable antiferromagnetic high-spin chain. We present an exact computation of the Grüneisen parameter, which is closely related to the magnetocaloric effect, for the quantum spin-s chain on the thermodynamical limit by means of Bethe ansatz techniques and the quantum transfer matrix approach. We have also calculated the entropy S and the isentropes in the (H,T) plane. We have been able to identify the quantum critical points H_c^{(s)}=2/(s+1/2) looking at the isentropes and/or the characteristic behaviour of the Grüneisen parameter.
