Magnetic properties of an antiferromagnetic spin-1/2 XYZ model in the presence of different magnetic fields: finite-size effects of inhomogeneity property

Abstract

Magnetic and thermodynamic properties of the anisotropic XYZ spin-1/2 finite chain under both homogeneous and inhomogeneous magnetic fields are theoretically studied at low temperature. Using exact diagonalization method (ED), we study the magnetization, magnetic susceptibility and specific heat of the model characterized in terms of the finite correlation length in the presence of three different magnetic fields including longitudinal, transverse and transverse staggered magnetic fields. The magnetization, susceptibility and the specific heat of the model are investigated under two conditions separately: I) when the model is putted in the presence of homogeneous magnetic fields; II) when finite inhomogeneities are considered for all applied magnetic fields in the Hamiltonian. We show that for the finite-size XYZ chains at low temperature, the evident magnetization plateaus gradually convert to their counterpart quasi-plateaus when the transverse magnetic field increases. Moreover, the influence of the transverse and staggered transverse magnetic fields, and their corresponding inhomogeneities on the magnetization process, magnetic susceptibility, and specific heat are reported in detail. Our exact results illustrate that by altering the inhomogeneity parameters, magnetization plateaus gradually convert to their counterpart quasi-plateaus. The specific heat manifests Schottky-type maximum, double-peak and triple-peak, as well as, transformation between them by varying considered inhomogeneity parameters in the Hamiltonian.
