Universal temperature dependence of the magnetization of gapped spin chains

Abstract

Temperature dependence of the magnetization of the Haldane spin chain at finite magnetic field is analyzed systematically. Quantum Monte Carlo data indicates a clear minimum of magnetization as a function of temperature in the gapless regime. On the basis of the Tomonaga-Luttinger liquid theory, we argue that this minimum is rather universal and can be observed for general axially symmetric quasi-one-dimensional spin systems. Our argument is confirmed by the magnetic-field dependence of the spin-wave velocity obtained numerically. One can estimate a magnitude of the gap of any such systems by fitting the experimental data with the magnetization minimum.
