Mean-field theory of the spin-Peierls systems: Application to CuGeO3

Abstract

A mean-field theory of the spin Peierls systems based on the two dimensional dimerized Heisenberg model is proposed by introducing an alternating bond order parameter. Improvements with respect to previous mean-field results are found in the one-dimensional limit for the ground state and the gap energies. In two dimensions, the analysis of the competition between antiferromagnetic long range order and the spin-Peierls ordering is given as a function of the coupling constants. We show that the lowest energy gap to be observed does not have a singlet-triplet character in agreement with the low temperature thermodynamic properties of CuGeO3.
