Spin parity effects in monoaxial chiral ferromagnetic chain

Abstract

We present a fully quantum mechanical account of a novel {\it spin parity effect} -- physics which depend sharply on whether the spin quantum number $S$ is half-odd integral or integral, which we find to be present in models of monoaxial chiral ferromagnetic spin chains.
