Spin correlations in the two-leg antiferromagnetic ladder in a magnetic field

Abstract

We study the ground-state spin correlations in the gapless incommensurate regime of a S=1/2 XXZ chain and a two-leg antiferromagnetic ladder under a magnetic field, in which the gapless excitations form a Tomonaga-Luttinger (TL) liquid. We calculate numerically the two-spin correlation functions and the local magnetization in the two models using the density-matrix renormalization-group method. By fitting the numerical results for an open XXZ chain of 100 spins to correlation functions of a Gaussian model, we determine the TL-liquid parameter K and the amplitudes of the correlation functions. The value of K estimated from the fits is in excellent agreement with the exact value obtained from the Bethe ansatz. We apply the same method to the open ladder consisting of 200 spins and determine the dependence of K on the magnetization M. The K-M relation changes drastically depending on the ratio of the coupling constants in the leg and rung directions. We also discuss implications of these results to experiments on the nuclear spin relaxation rate 1/T_1 and dynamical spin structure factors.
