8 The model Hamltonian Spin system - path integral Consider 1-D system of spins (S = 1) with Hamiltonian H = J ij S i S j (3) with J > 0 We can write partition function for system as a path integral Z = Tr e βh = Dα(τ) e β 0 S[α(τ)]dτ (4) α(0)=α(β) where α(τ) are states in the Hilbert space, τ is parameter called imaginary time and S[α(τ)] = lim ɛ 0 α(τ + ɛ) βh α(τ) ɛ Shreyas Patankar (CMI) Spin-1 Heisenberg antiferromagnets August 5, / 21
9 The model Hamltonian Coherent state representation Let us write α states in more commonly used notation: N = e iφŝ3 e iθŝ2 e iψŝ3 (5) notice the Euler rotation angles Satisfies the property that N S N = SN (6) where N is the unit vector corresponding to the coherent state Thus partition function can be written as [ Z = DN(τ) e β 0 N(τ) d dτ N(τ) dτ+ β 0 H(S ] N(τ)) N(0)= N(β) (7) Shreyas Patankar (CMI) Spin-1 Heisenberg antiferromagnets August 5, / 21

14 The model Hamltonian Quantum Rotor Model Dispersion relation To diagonalize, choose basis k = 1 e ikaq q N q is label for first excited states Expectation value gives energy as function of k We have dispersion relation q ε(k) = E 1 2J 3 cos(ka) (12) we can call k as momentum For small k, ε(k) = + c2 k , identify as mass c2 We have excitations as quasiparticles Shreyas Patankar (CMI) Spin-1 Heisenberg antiferromagnets August 5, / 21
15 The model Hamltonian Quantum Rotor Model Quasi-particles Each quasi-particle has l = 1 (by definition) and comes in three colors : m = 0, ±1 Let n be the rotor position (vector) operator Define ˆn 0 = ˆn z ˆn + = ˆn x + iˆn y ˆn = ˆn x iˆn y We can show[1] that ˆn 0 is sum of creation and annihilation operators for m = 0 quasiparticles Thus, ˆn 0;i 0 will produce a particle of m = 0 at site i Shreyas Patankar (CMI) Spin-1 Heisenberg antiferromagnets August 5, / 21
16 Structure factor Two-point correlation function We wish to calculate structure factor It can be shown[5] that structure factor is Fourier transform of two point correlation function S(k, ω) = dxdt C(x, t)e i(kx+ωt) where C(x, t) = ˆn(x, t)ˆn(0, 0) ˆn(x, t) can be thought of as operator acting at (x, t) Write (Heisenberg picture) n 0 (x, t) = e iht n 0 (x, 0)e iht Shreyas Patankar (CMI) Spin-1 Heisenberg antiferromagnets August 5, / 21

24 Semi-classical approximation Trajectories Semiclassically, think of quasi-particles having definite trajectories In ensemble average for C(x, t), each state is a configuration of trajectories Dotted trajectory is one created by action of ˆn 0 Suppose dotted trajectory has r right and l left collisions Then annihilated particle is r l positions to right of created particle For solid lines to be reversal invariant, all intermediate particles must have same m = 0 Shreyas Patankar (CMI) Spin-1 Heisenberg antiferromagnets August 5, / 21
25 Response function Semi-classical approximation Suppose we take temperature T = 0 Then C(x, t) is just the free (quasi-)particle propogator K(x, t)[2] At finite temperature, there is term due to collisions (S-matrix and probability) ( ) 1 r l From above observations, these contributions are ( 1) r+l, 3 respectively Thus, we have C(x, t) = R(x, t)k(x, t) (13) ( 1 ) r l where R(x, t) = 3 C Shreyas Patankar (CMI) Spin-1 Heisenberg antiferromagnets August 5, / 21
26 Counting collisions Semi-classical approximation Suppose configuration of trajectories is given by x ν = x ν + v ν t and dotted trajectory is x = x 0 + v 0 t Probability that there are n collisions on this trajectory is: [ ] P (n) = δ θ(x x ν (t)) θ( x ν ), n This gives R(x, t) = n= ν (14) [ ] ( 1) n 3 n δ (θ(x x ν (t)) θ( x ν )), n ν {x ν,v ν} Shreyas Patankar (CMI) Spin-1 Heisenberg antiferromagnets August 5, / 21
27 Expression for R(x, t) Semi-classical approximation Expression can be simplified(!) to give[2]: R( x, t) = π π ( ) dφ φ) π 1 e u2 +u erf(u) e t (1 cos 2π 4 cos( x sin φ) cos φ where x, t are in suitably normalized units, u = x t Shreyas Patankar (CMI) Spin-1 Heisenberg antiferromagnets August 5, / 21
28 Conclusion Features Pretty picture: Figure: Real part of C(x, t) vs. x, t Observe interesting behaviour over t Analytic expression itself gives assymetry in S(q, ω) about q Shreyas Patankar (CMI) Spin-1 Heisenberg antiferromagnets August 5, / 21
29 Comparison Conclusion Essler, Konik calculated S(q, ω) using NLσM field theory methods Figure: Susceptibility vs. frequency at different temperatures It is claimed that the assymetry is a purely quantum effect and cannot be reproduced semi-classically Task: To verify this claim!
