Domain wall dynamics in integrable and chaotic spin-1/2 chains
arXiv:1105.0925 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevE.84.016206
Abstract
We study the time evolution of correlation functions, spin current, and local magnetization in an isolated spin-1/2 chain initially prepared in a sharp domain wall state. The results are compared with the level of spatial delocalization of the eigenstates of the system which is measured using the inverse participation ratio. Both integrable and non-integrable regimes are considered. Non-integrability is introduced to the integrable Hamiltonian with nearest neighbor couplings by adding a single site impurity field or by adding next-nearest-neighbor couplings. A monotonic correspondence between the enhancement of the level of delocalization, spin current and magnetization dynamics occurs in the integrable domain. This correspondence is however lost for chaotic models with weak Ising interactions.
