Magentic-Field Induced Quantum Phase Transition and Critical Behavior in a Gapped Spin System TlCuCl
Magnetization measurements were performed on TlCuCl with gapped ground
state. The critical density and the magnetic phase diagram were obtained. The
interacting constant was obtained as K. The experimental
phase boundary for K agrees perfectly with the magnon BEC theory based
on the Hartree-Fock approximation with realistic dispersion relations and
K. The exponent obtained with all the data points
for K is , which is somewhat larger than theoretical
exponent . However, it was found that the exponent
converges at with decreasing fitting window.Comment: 2 pages, 2 figures, Submitted to Proceedings of International

Field-Induced Magnetic Order and Simultaneous Lattice Deformation in TlCuCl3
We report the results of Cu and Cl nuclear magnetic resonance experiments
(NMR) and thermal expansion measurements in magnetic fields in the coupled
dimer spin system TlCuCl3. We found that the field-induced antiferromagnetic
transition as confirmed by the splitting of NMR lines is slightly
discontinuous. The abrupt change of the electric field gradient at the Cl
sites, as well as the sizable change of the lattice constants, across the phase
boundary indicate that the magnetic order is accompanied by simultaneous
lattice deformation.Comment: 4 pages, 5 figure
Microscopic model for the magnetization plateaus in NH4CuCl3
A simple model consisting of three distinct dimer sublattices is proposed to
describe the magnetism of NH4CuCl3. It explains the occurrence of magnetization
plateaus only at 1/4 and 3/4 of the saturation magnetization. The field
dependence of the excitation modes observed by ESR measurements is also
explained by the model. The model predicts that the magnetization plateaus
should disappear under high pressure.Comment: 4 pages, 5 figures, REVTeX
Uniaxial pressure dependencies of the phase boundary of TlCuCl_3
We present a thermal expansion and magnetostriction study of TlCuCl_3, which
shows a magnetic-field induced transition from a spin gap phase to a Neel
ordered phase. Using Ehrenfest relations we derive huge and strongly
anisotropic uniaxial pressure dependencies of the respective phase boundary,
e.g. the transition field changes by about GPa depending on the
direction of uniaxial pressure.Comment: 2 pages, e figures; presented at SCES200
Magnon Dispersion in the Field-Induced Magnetically Ordered Phase of TlCuCl3
The magnetic properties of the interacting dimer system TlCuCl3 are
investigated within a bond-operator formulation. The observed field-induced
staggered magnetic order perpendicular to the field is described as a Bose
condensation of magnons which are linear combinations of dimer singlet and
triplet modes. This technique accounts for the magnetization curve and for the
field dependence of the magnon dispersion curves observed by high-field neutron
scattering measurements.Comment: 4 pages, 4 figures, REVTeX
Observation of Field-Induced Transverse N\'{e}el Ordering in the Spin Gap System TlCuCl
Neutron elastic scattering experiments have been performed on the spin gap
system TlCuCl in magnetic fields parallel to the -axis. The magnetic
Bragg peaks which indicate the field-induced N\'{e}el ordering were observed
for magnetic field higher than the gap field T at with odd in the plane. The spin structure in the ordered
phase was determined. The temperature and field dependence of the Bragg peak
intensities and the phase boundary obtained were discussed in connection with a
recent theory which describes the field-induced N\'{e}el ordering as a
Bose-Einstein condensation of magnons.Comment: 4 pages, 5 eps figures, jpsj styl
Doping-dependent magnetization plateaux in p-merized Hubbard chains
We study zero-temperature Hubbard chains with periodically modulated hopping
at arbitrary filling n and magnetization m. We show that the magnetization
curves have plateaux at certain values of m which depend on the periodicity p
and the filling. At commensurate filling n a charge gap opens and then
magnetization plateaux correspond to fully gapped situations. However, plateaux
also arise in the magnetization curves at fixed n between the commensurate
values and then the plateau-value of of m depends continuously on n and can
thus also become irrational. In particular for the case of dimerized hopping
(p=2) and fixed doping we find that a plateau appears at m=1-n. In this case,
there is still a gapless mode on the plateau leading to thermodynamic behavior
which is different from a completely gapped situation.Comment: 9 pages REVTeX, 3 PostScript figures included using psfig.sty; this

Theoretical analysis of the experiments on the double-spin-chain compound -- KCuCl
We have analyzed the experimental susceptibility data of KCuCl and found
that the data are well-explained by the double-spin-chain models with strong
antiferromagnetic dimerization. Large quantum Monte Carlo calculations were
performed for the first time in the spin systems with frustration. This was
made possible by removing the negative-sign problem with the use of the dimer
basis that has the spin-reversal symmetry. The numerical data agree with the
experimental data within 1% relative errors in the whole temperature region. We
also present a theoretical estimate for the dispersion relation and compare it
with the recent neutron-scattering experiment. Finally, the magnitude of each
interaction bond is predicted.Comment: 4 pages, REVTeX, 5 figures in eps-file
Magnetization plateaus in antiferromagnetic-(ferromagnetic)_{n} polymerized S=1/2 XXZ chains
The plateau-non-plateau transition in the
antiferromagnetic-(ferromagnetic) polymerized XXZ chains under
the magnetic field is investigated. The universality class of this transition
belongs to the Brezinskii-Kosterlitz-Thouless (BKT) type. The critical points
are determined by level spectroscopy analysis of the numerical diagonalization
data for where is the size of a unit cell.
It is found that the critical strength of ferromagnetic coupling decreases with
for small but increases for larger enough . It is also found that
the plateau for large is wide enough for moderate values of exchange
coupling so that it should be easily observed experimentally. This is in
contrast to the plateaus for chains which are narrow for a wide range
of exchange coupling even away from the critical point
The Origin of Magnetic Interactions in Ca3Co2O6
We investigate the microscopic origin of the ferromagnetic and
antiferromagnetic spin exchange couplings in the quasi one-dimensional cobalt
compound Ca3Co2O6. In particular, we establish a local model which stabilizes a
ferromagnetic alignment of the S=2 spins on the cobalt sites with trigonal
prismatic symmetry, for a sufficiently strong Hund's rule coupling on the
cobalt ions. The exchange is mediated through a S=0 cobalt ion at the
octahedral sites of the chain structure. We present a strong coupling
evaluation of the Heisenberg coupling between the S=2 Co spins on a separate
chain. The chains are coupled antiferromagnetically through super-superexchange
via short O-O bonds.Comment: 5 Pages, 3 Figures; added anisotropy term in eq. 9; extended
