Abstract

We calculate the quantum phase diagram of the {\it XXZ} chain with nearest-neighbor (NN) and next-NN exchange with anisotropies and respectively. In particular we consider the case to interpolate between the {\it XX} chain () and the isotropic model with ferromagnetic . For , a ferromagnetic and two antiferromagnetic phases exist. For , the boundary between the dimer and spin fluid phases is determined by the method of crossing of excitation spectra. For large , this method seems to indicate the existence of a second spin fluid critical phase. However, an analysis of the spin stiffness and magnetic susceptibility for suggest that a small gap is present.
