Abstract

We have investigated the zero-and finite-temperature behaviors of the anisotropic antiferromagnetic Heisenberg XXZ spin-1/2 chain in the presence of a transverse magnetic field (h). The attention is concentrated on an interval of magnetic field between the factorizing field (h(f)) and the critical one (h(c)). The model presents a spin-flop phase for 0 < h < h(f) with an energy scale which is defined by the long range antiferromagnetic order while it undergoes an entanglement phase transition at h = h(f). The entanglement estimators clearly show that the entanglement is lost exactly at h = h(f), which justifies different quantum correlations on both sides of the factorizing field. As a consequence of zero entanglement (at h = h(f)) the ground state is known exactly as a product of single-particle states which is the starting point for initiating a spin wave theory. The linear spin wave theory is implemented to obtain the specific heat and thermal entanglement of the model in the interested region. A double-peak structure is found in the specific heat around h = h(f), which manifests the existence of two energy scales in the system as a result of two competing orders before the critical point. These results are confirmed by the low temperature Lanczos data which we have computed.

Main findings

The authors studied an anisotropic antiferromagnetic Heisenberg XXZ spin-1/2 chain in a transverse magnetic field, focusing on fields between the factorizing field and a critical field. Entanglement estimators indicate entanglement is lost exactly at the factorizing field, and a double-peak structure in specific heat is reported around the factorizing field; results are stated to be confirmed by low-temperature Lanczos computations.

Outcomes measured

Limitations

This is a theoretical/condensed-matter physics model study (spin chain in a transverse magnetic field), not an EMF exposure study in biological populations.
No EMF exposure parameters (frequency, SAR, real-world source) are provided in the abstract.
