Magnetization Plateaux in Bethe Ansatz Solvable Spin-S Ladders

We examine the properties of the Bethe Ansatz solvable two- and three-leg spin-$S$ ladders. These models include Heisenberg rung interactions of arbitrary strength and thus capture the physics of the spin-$S$ Heisenberg ladders for strong rung coupling. The discrete values derived for the magnetization plateaux are seen to fit with the general prediction based on the Lieb-Schultz- Mattis theorem. We examine the magnetic phase diagram of the spin-1 ladder in detail and find an extended magnetization plateau at the fractional value $ = {1/2}$ in agreement with the experimental observation for the spin-1 ladder compound BIP-TENO.

Exactly solvable su(N) mixed spin ladders

It is shown that solvable mixed spin ladder models can be constructed from su(N) permutators. Heisenberg rung interactions appear as chemical potential terms in the Bethe Ansatz solution. Explicit examples given are a mixed spin-1/2 spin-1 ladder, a mixed spin-1/2 spin-3/2 ladder and a spin-1 ladder with biquadratic interactions.

Phase diagram of the su(8) quantum spin tube

We calculate the phase diagram of an integrable anisotropic 3-leg quantum spin tube connected to the su(8) algebra. We find several quantum phase transitions for antiferromagnetic rung couplings. Their locations are calculated exactly from the Bethe Ansatz solution and we discuss the nature of each of the different phases.

Exactly solvable quantum spin ladders associated with the orthogonal and symplectic Lie algebras

We extend the results of spin ladder models associated with the Lie algebras $su(2^n)$ to the case of the orthogonal and symplectic algebras $o(2^n),\ sp(2^n)$ where n is the number of legs for the system. Two classes of models are found whose symmetry, either orthogonal or symplectic, has an explicit n dependence. Integrability of these models is shown for an arbitrary coupling of XX type rung interactions and applied magnetic field term.

Ground state energy and mass gap of a generalised quantum spin ladder

We show that a 2-leg ladder hamiltonian introduced recently by Albeverio and Fei (cond-mat/9807341) can be made to satisfy the Hecke algebra. As a result we have found an equivalent representation of the eigenspectrum in terms of the spin-1/2 antiferromagnetic XXZ chain at $Δ= - 5/3$. The values of thermodynamic quantities such as the ground state energy and mass gap follow from the known XXZ results.

Exactly solvable quantum spin tubes and ladders

We find families of integrable n-leg spin-1/2 ladders and tubes with general isotropic exchange interactions between spins. These models are equivalent to su(N) spin chains with N=2^n. Arbitrary rung interactions in the spin tubes and ladders induce chemical potentials in the equivalent spin chains. The potentials are n-dependent and differ for the tube and ladder models. The models are solvable by means of nested Bethe Ansatz.
