Density Matrix Renormalization Group Study of the Haldane Phase in Random One-Dimensional Antiferromagnets
It is conjectured that the Haldane phase of the S=1 antiferromagnetic
Heisenberg chain and the ferromagnetic-antiferromagnetic alternating
Heisenberg chain is stable against any strength of randomness, because of
imposed breakdown of translational symmetry. This conjecture is confirmed by
the density matrix renormalization group calculation of the string order
parameter and the energy gap distribution.Comment: 4 Pages, 7 figures; Considerable revisions are made in abstract and

Critical Properties of the transition between the Haldane phase and the large-D phase of the spin-1/2 ferromagnetic-antiferromagnetic Heisenberg chain with on-site anisotropy"
We analytically study the ground-state quantum phase transition between the
Haldane phase and the large- (LD) phase of the
ferromagnetic-antiferromagnetic alternating Heisenberg chain with on-site
anisotropy. We transform this model into a generalized version of the
alternating antiferromagnetic Heisenberg model with anisotropy. In the
transformed model, the competition between the transverse and longitudinal bond
alternations yields the Haldane-LD transition. Using the bosonization method,
we show that the critical exponents vary continuously on the Haldane-LD
boundary. Our scaling relations between critical exponents very well explains
the numerical results by Hida.Comment: text 12 pages (Plain TeX), LaTeX sourse files of a table and a figure

Exotic vs. conventional scaling and universality in a disordered bilayer quantum Heisenberg antiferromagnet
We present large-scale Monte-Carlo simulations of a two-dimensional (2d)
bilayer quantum Heisenberg antiferromagnet with random dimer dilution. In
contrast to the exotic scaling scenarios found in many other random quantum
systems, the quantum phase transition in this system is characterized by a
finite-disorder fixed point with power-law scaling. After accounting for strong
corrections to scaling, characterized by a leading irrelevant exponent of
\omega = 0.48, we find universal, i.e., disorder-independent, critical
exponents z=1.310(6) and \nu=1.16(3). We discuss the consequences of these
findings and suggest new experiments.Comment: 4 pages, 5eps figures included, final version as publishe
Quasiperiodic Hubbard chains
Low energy properties of half-filled Fibonacci Hubbard models are studied by
weak coupling renormalization group and density matrix renormalization group
method. In the case of diagonal modulation, weak Coulomb repulsion is
irrelevant and the system behaves as a free Fibonacci chain, while for strong
Coulomb repulsion, the charge sector is a Mott insulator and the spin sector
behaves as a uniform Heisenberg antiferromagnetic chain. The off-diagonal
modulation always drives the charge sector to a Mott insulator and the spin
sector to a Fibonacci antiferromagnetic Heisenberg chain.Comment: 4 pages, 4 figures; Final version to appear in Phys. Rev. Let
Excitation Spectrum of the Spin-1/2 Ferromagnetic-Antiferromagnetic Alternating Heisenberg Chain:
The natural explanation of the excitation spectrum of the spin-1
antiferromagnetic Heisenberg chain is given from the viewpoint of the spin-1/2
ferromagnetic-antiferromagnetic alternating Heisenberg chain. The energy
spectrum of the latter is calculated with fixed momentum by numerical
diagonalization of finite size systems. It consists of a branch of propagating
triplet pair (triplet wave) and the continuum of multiple triplet waves for
weak ferromagnetic coupling. As the ferromagnetic coupling increases, the
triplet wave branch is absorbed in the continuum for small , reproducing the
characteristics of the spin-1 antiferromagnetic Heisenberg chain.Comment: 12 Pages REVTEX, Postscript file for the figures included.

Quantum Monte Carlo Study on Magnetization Processes
A quantum Monte Carlo method combining update of the loop algorithm with the
global flip of the world line is proposed as an efficient method to study the
magnetization process in an external field, which has been difficult because of
inefficiency of the update of the total magnetization. The method is
demonstrated in the one dimensional antiferromagnetic Heisenberg model and the
trimer model. We attempted various other Monte Carlo algorithms to study
systems in the external field and compared their efficiency.Comment: 5 pages, 9 figures; added references for section 1, corrected typo
The antiferromagnetic order in an F-AF random alternating quantum spin chain : (CH_3)_2 CHNH_3 Cu(Cl_x Br_{1-x})_3
A possibility of the uniform antiferromagnetic order is pointed out in an
S=1/2 ferromagnetic (F) - antiferromagnetic (AF) random alternating Heisenberg
quantum spin chain compound: (CH_3)_2 CHNH_3 Cu(Cl_x Br_{1-x})_3. The system
possesses the bond alternation of strong random bonds that take +/- 2J and weak
uniform AF bonds of -J. In the pure concentration limits, the model reduces to
the AF-AF alternation chain at x=0 and to the F-AF alternation chain at x=1.
The nonequilibrium relaxation of large-scale quantum Monte Carlo simulations
exhibits critical behaviors of the uniform AF order in the intermediate
concentration region, which explains the experimental observation of the
magnetic phase transition. The present results suggest that the uniform AF
order may survive even in the presence of the randomly located ferromagnetic
bonds.Comment: 4 pages, 3 figure
Ground State and Magnetization Process of the Mixture of Bond-Alternating and Uniform S=1/2 Antiferromagnetic Heisenberg Chains
The mixture of bond-alternating and uniform S=1/2 antiferromagnetic
Heisenberg chains is investigated by the density matrix renormalization group
method. The ground state magnetization curve is calculated and the exchange
parameters are determined by fitting to the experimentally measured
magnetization curve of \CuClBr(-pic). The low
field behavior of the magnetization curve and low temperature behavior of the
magnetic susceptibility are found to be sensitive to whether the
bond-alternation pattern (parity) is fixed all over the sample or randomly
distributed. The both quantities are compatible with the numerical results for
the random parity model.Comment: 5 pages, 7 figures. Final and enlarged version accepted for

Density Matrix Renormalization Group Study of the S=1/2 Anisotropic Antiferromagnetic Heisenberg Chains with Quasiperiodic Exchange Modulation
The low energy behavior of the S=1/2 antiferromagnetic XY-like XXZ chains
with precious mean quasiperiodic exchange modulation is studied by the density
matrix renormalization group method. It is found that the energy gap of the
chain with length N scales as with nonuniversal exponent
if the Ising component of the exhange coupling is antiferromagnetic.
This behavior is expected to be the characteristic feature of the quantum spin
chains with relevant aperiodicity. This is in contrast to the XY chain for
which the precious mean exchange modulation is marginal and the gap scales as
. On the contrary, it is also verified that the energy gap scales as
if the Ising component of the exhange coupling is ferromagnetic. Our
results are not only consistent with the recent bosonization analysis of Vidal,
Mouhanna and Giamarchi but also clarify the nature of the strong coupling
regime which is inaccesssible by the bosonization approach.Comment: 8 pages, 15 figures, 1 table; Proceedings of the workshop 'Frontiers
