Spin-1/2 $XX$ chain in a transverse field with regularly alternating $g$-factors: Static and dynamic properties

Abstract

We consider the spin-1/2 isotropic $XY$ chain in an external magnetic field directed along $z$ axis with periodically varying $g$-factors. To reveal the effects of regularly alternating $g$-factors, we calculate various static and dynamic equilibrium quantities in the ground state and at finite temperatures. We demonstrate that because of the regularly alternating $g$-factors the saturation field may disappear and the field dependence of the susceptibility in the ground state has additional logarithmic singularity at zero field. Moreover, the zero-field susceptibility has a logarithmic singularity as $T\to 0$. Furthermore, the dynamic structure factors exhibit much more structure in the "wave vector -- frequency" plane that can be traced out to modifications of the two-fermion excitation continua which exclusively determine $S_{zz}(\kappa ,\omega )$ and dominate the properties of $S_{xx}(\kappa ,\omega )$. We discuss what changes can be observed in dynamic experiments on the corresponding substances.
