Times Cited Count:5 Percentile:24.15(Nanoscience & Nanotechnology)The magnetization process of the 3-leg quantum spin nanotube is investigated by the numerical diagonalization of finite-size clusters and the density matrix renormalization group method. It is found that the magnetization plateau appears at 1/3 of the saturation magnetization for sufficiently large interchain coupling. In addition we find that in the presence of asymmetric lattice distortion, there are two different mechanisms of the magnetization plateau formation. We also successfully present a phase diagram of the magnetization plateau.

Times Cited Count:37 Percentile:39.70(Physics, Condensed Matter)Recent developments of theoretical studies on spin nanotubes are reviewed, especially focusing on the S=1/2 three-leg spin tube. In contrast to the three-leg spin ladder, the tube has a spin gap in case of the regular-triangle unit cell when the rung interaction is sufficiently large. The effective theory based on the Hubbard Hamiltonian indicates a quantum phase transition to the gapless spin liquid due to the lattice distortion to an isosceles triangle. This is also supported by the numerical diagonalization and the density matrix renormalization group analyses. Furthermore, combining analytical and numerical approaches, we reveal several novel magnetic-field-induced phenomena: Nel, dimer, chiral and/or inhomogeneous orders, new mechanism for the magnetization plateau formation, and others. The recently synthesized spin tube materials are also briefly introduced.

On the basis of the electron tube system, we propose a useful effective theory to give the global phase diagram of the asymmetric spin tube. In addition, using other effective theories we raise the reliability of the phase diagram. The density-matrix renormalization-group and the numerical diagonalization analyses show that the finite spin gap appears in a narrow region around the rung-symmetric line.

, we observed an appearance of a novel type of incommensurate ordering in magnetic fields. This ordering is essentially different from the N
el-type ordering, which is expected for the classical system, and the peculiar spin structure is caused by quantum fluctuation inherent in the quantum spin chain. A Tomonaga-Luttinger liquid (TLL) nature characteristic of the gapless quantum 1D system is responsible for the realization of the incommensurate ordering.

We report the result from the theoretical study based on the numerical diagonalization and the finite-size scaling analysis, on the quantum phase transition which occurs when the ratio of the rung coupling, the leg coupling and the ring exchange interactions is varied, in the S=1/2 three-leg spin tube.

The S=1/2 three-leg frustrated antiferromagnetic spin tube is investigated using the numerical diagonalization, density matrix renormalization group, and effective field theory techniques. Varing one of the three rung couplings, a quantum phase transition between the spin gap and gapless phases was predicted in our previous work. The present phenomenological renormalization approach gives a phase diagram of the spin gap. In addition we study the magnetization process of the regular triangle spin tube. Our present effective field theory between the lower critical field where the spin gap vanishes, and the upper critical field where the magnetization is saturated, predicts two field-induced new phases appear; the one has the vector chiral order and the other has an inhomogeneous distribution of the magnetization. These two phases coexist with the Tomonaga-Luttinger liquid phase. The prediction is confirmed by the numerical diagonalization and finite-size scaling analyses.

The S=1/2 three-leg quantum spin tube is one of strongly frustrated low-dimensional magnets. Using the numerical diagonalization and the DMRG calculation, we revealed new quantum phase transitions induced by an asymmetric interchain interactions. We also found some anomalous field-induced phenomena; the magnetization plateau, cusp, and chiral order in spin liquid phases.

Recently some quantum spin systems on tube lattices, so called spin nanotubes, have been synthesized. They are expected to be interesting low-dimensional systems like the carbon nanotubes. As the first step of theoretical study on the spin nanotube, we investigate the S=1/2 three-leg spin tube, which is the simplest one, using the density matrix renormalization group (DMRG) and the numerical exact diagonalization (ED), combined with a precise finite-size scaling analysis named level spectroscopy.

The previous study indicated that a magnetization plateau-like behavior at 1/3 of saturation magnetization is a new phenomena, so-called a magnetization ramp. In the present work we investigate a change of the anomalous behavior under the XXZ anisotropy. As a result, we found that as the XXZ anisotropy is varied from the Ising and XY sides, the magnetization plateau vanishes at a critical point.

The magnetization process of the 3-leg spin tube is investigated by some numerical simulations and field-theoretical approaches. As a result, we successfully predict the quantum phase transitions at which the 1/3 magnetization plateau appears, and at which the chiral order occurs. More quantitative analyses on these quantum phase transitions give the critical points and lead to a proposal of some new experiments to discover them.

The spin nanotube was theoretically investigated by the numerical exact diagonalization and the density matrix renormalization group method. It was found that the three-leg spin tube exhibits a quantum phase transition between the spin gap and gapless phases, as a lattice distortion occurs. The superconductivity induced by the spin gap is also discussed.

The S=1/2 three-leg spin tube has a spin gap due to the strong frustration. Using the numerical dyagonalization and the density matrix renormalization group (DMRG) calculation, we revealed new quantum phase transitions between the spin-gap and gapless phases induced by an asymmetric interchain interactions. Under high magnetic field this system also exhibits some interesting phenomena. The same numerical analysis on the magnetization process indicates that the 1/3 magnetization plateau appears for sufficiently large rung interaction caused by two different mechanisms, depending on the asymmetry.
