S=1/2 and S=1 one dimensional quantum magnets
Why are we interested in one-dimensional magnetism? (a) In many cases we have exact solutions (which are lacking in higher dimensions), (b) they exhibit a wealth of ground states, including disordered phases, (c) they are a natural testing ground for methods and approximations, (d) there are a variety of highly interesting experimental systems. Especially in theoretical field that most two-dimensional magnets order at T=0, however, in one-dimensional situation, fluctuations are so strong that at T=0 most magnets are disordered. Because of the strong fluctuations, conventional techniques are normally not applicable. So we need to search for new tools to solve these problems. One of the representative way is to use numerical methods. An example is, by numerically evaluation, one found a unique, disorder ground state of the nearest-neighbor isotropic anti-ferromagnetic Heisenberg chain for spins S=1/2, with anti-ferromagnetic spin-spin correlations, referred as quasi long-range ordered.In theoretical research, Coherent many body wave functions are fascinating and useful in situations of quantum magnets without static order at T=0.

Haldane's Conjecture
Introduction to Haldane's Conjecture
Haldane conjectured a fundamental difference between spin chains with S an integer and S a half-integer. Haldane Conjecture is that there is a spin gap of the excitation spectrum in integer Heisenberg spin chains whereas half-integer spin chains have a gapless excitation spectrum. Here we use effective field theories of anti-ferromagnets to show Haldane's Conjecture.
Effective Field Theories of Antiferromagnets
Let's consider an isotropic anti-ferromagnetic Heisenberg model with nearest neighbor interaction between spins of S length.The Hamiltonian can be expressed as

where is the ground energy, which can be written as
in addition, the "excitation energy", i.e., "holes" can be written as
In order to minimize the energy, we choose the solution with real roots and without holes. The total spin S for the state when N is even is obtained
Therefore, the ground state is a singlet with S=0. The excitations are holes with energy . For a lattice which has N sites, where N is even (odd), there exist an even (odd) number of holes. A state with one hole in this way carries . You can find the spin-reversed hole by action on the state. Notice that, these states are degenerate because of the SU(2) symmetry.
The Bethe solution for S=1/2 states that for a rather large class of isotropic, translationally and rotationally invariant Hamiltonians, the spectrum is either critical, or the ground state degenerate with broken translational invariance, for example, by dimerisation, and the spectrum gapped. This indicate that the S=1/2 chain is indeed generic for all half-integer spins.
In experimental field, compounds with ions which realize spin 1/2 grabbed the interest of scientists. (Copperpyridinchloride = CPC) is the first quantum chain investigated experimentally.[4]
Verify Haldane's Conjecture in S=1 case: Haldane Spin Liquid
For integer spins, there is no exact analytic result. For S=1, many studies have been carried out to determine the gap, converging to obtained independently by DMRG and exact diagonalization. Experimentally, this is also reflected on the material side.Most investigations concentrate on compounds with ions which realize spin 1. The gap was first confirmed beyond any doubt by Renard et al.[5], on the standard S=1 chain “NENP” (). The experiments showed isotropic interactions with a weak easy-plane anisotropy, which agreed with theoretical results very well.
To understand better, we are introducing the Haldane Spin Liquid.
Nevertheless, we can comprehend in another simple way about the spin gap of spin 1 AFM (antiferromagnet). As displayed in Fig_3, Magnets with 2S=nz have a nearest neighbor singlet covering. For integer spin chains (S=n, z=2) this state is “close to” the ground state, Excited states are propagating bond triplets separated from the ground state by an energy gap.
Microscopic Description of Haldane Magnets: AKLT model
Affleck-Kennedy-Lieb-Tasaki(AKLT) model has explained why excitation are gapped from a microscopic point of view. The AKLT Hamiltonian for a spin chain with spin S=1 is:
Here we can obtain a bilinear-biquadratic spin chain.

Fig_2 describes the valence bond solid ground state . From Fig_5, it's easy to see that the maximal spin sum on each bond is S and we have . The symmetric spins are linked by singlet bonds . Since is a positive sum of projectors, so it doesn't have negative eigenvalues, which leads us to find the ground state.
In fact, with the S=1 case, we can see how the property of both chains are continuously connected[6]
However, it exists limit. The T=0 phase diagram in the semi-classical limit is gotten by the replacement of the quantum spins by commuting unit vector spins.
For half-integer spins, the phase diagram of S=1/2 and S=infinite are very similar, so the classical limit for half-integer is very obvious. However, for S=1 situation, phase diagram is very different. It's not trivial.
Comparison between Heisenberg model and AKLT model
Heisenberg model and AKLT model are both from the Hamiltonian
The difference is in Hersenberg model, , while in AKLT model .
Numerical Method to Solve 1-D Quantum Magnets Problem: DMRG
The word DMRG is short for The Density Matrix Renormalization Group.
Various techniques have been introduced: the nonlinear-model, conformal analysis, bosonization, the matrix product ansatz, the Bethe ansatz, exact diagonalization and quantum Monte Carlo are now standard techniques in the field. Among numerical approaches, certainly the most important recent development has been the introduction of the Density Matrix Renormalization Group (DMRG) by White in 1992. It's an effective approach to open one-dimensional quantum magnets paradox.
The T=0 DMRG
The method is a real space renormalization group method, which grows a long chain linearly. For N states per site, the Hilbert space grows as , such that the Hilbert space must be truncated to a fixed size to manage long systems numerically. The fundamental progress of the DMRG is that it essentially eliminates the arbitrary character of truncation.
One keeps the M states of A' that have highest weight in the ground state of B, i.e. contribute most to the projection of the ground state of B on A'. Writing the ground state of B as
We approximate the ground state as
where the M orthonormal states will span the new truncated Hilbert space. The best choice is found by minimizing
The expression is minimized if we choose as the M eigenstates which belong to the M largest eigenvalues , , of the reduced density matrix
which is the projection of the ground state of B on the subsystem A'.
