Dynamic structure factor of disordered quantum spin ladders

arXiv:1806.01717 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevLett.121.167201

Abstract

We investigate the impact of quenched disorder on the dynamical correlation functions of two-leg quantum spin ladders. Perturbative continuous unitary transformations with the help of white graphs and bond-operator mean-field theory are used to calculate the one- and two-triplon contribution of the zero-temperature dynamical structure factor. Disorder results in huge effects on quasi-particles as well as composite bound states due to localization. This leads to intriguing quantum structures in dynamical correlation functions well observable in spectroscopic experiments.
