Abstract

Using mainly numerical methods, we investigate the ground-state phase diagram of the S=2 quantum spin chain described by , where denotes the anisotropy parameter of the nearest-neighbor interactions and the on-site anisotropy parameter. We restrict ourselves to the case with and for simplicity. Each of the phase boundary lines is determined by the level spectroscopy or the phenomenological renormalization analysis of numerical results of exact-diagonalization calculations. The resulting phase diagram on the - plane consists of four phases; the XY 1 phase, the Haldane/large- phase, the intermediate- phase and the Néel phase. The remarkable natures of the phase diagram are: (1) the Haldane state and the large- state belong to the same phase; (2) there exists the intermediate- phase which was predicted by Oshikawa in 1992; (3) the shape of the phase diagram on the - plane is different from that believed so far. We note that this is the first report of the observation of the intermediate- phase.
