22 Oct 1996 | Journal: | Phys. Rev. B 55 (1997) 12578 | Subject: | Statistical Mechanics | cond-mat.stat-mech | Abstract: | The one-dimensional isotropic quantum Heisenberg spin systems with random couplings and random spin sizes are investigated using a real-space renormalization group scheme. It is demonstrated that these systems belong to a universality class of disordered spin systems, characterized by weakly coupled large effective spins. In this large-spin phase the uniform magnetic susceptibility diverges as 1/T with a non-universal Curie constant at low temperatures T, while the specific heat vanishes as T^delta |ln T| for T->0. For broad range of initial distributions of couplings and spin sizes the distribution functions approach a single fixed-point form, where delta approx 0.44. For some singular initial distributions, however, fixed-point distributions have non-universal values of delta, suggesting that there is a line of fixed points. | Source: | arXiv, cond-mat/9610156 | Services: | Forum | Review | PDF | Favorites |
