Calculation of the singlet-triplet gap of the antiferromagnetic Heisenberg Model on the ladder

Abstract

The ground state energy and the singlet-triplet energy gap of the antiferromagnetic Heisenberg model on a ladder is investigated using a mean field theory and the density matrix renormalization group. Spin wave theory shows that the corrections to the local magnetization are infinite. This indicates that no long range order occurs in this system. A flux-phase state is used to calculate the energy gap as a function of the transverse coupling, $J_{\perp }$, in the ladder. It is found that the gap is linear in $J_{\perp }$ for $J_{\perp }\gg 1$ and goes to zero for $J_{\perp }\to 0$. The mean field theory agrees well with the numerical results.
