Vicinal Surface with Langmuir Adsorption: A Decorated Restricted Solid-on-solid Model

We study the vicinal surface of the restricted solid-on-solid model coupled with the Langmuir adsorbates which we regard as two-dimensional lattice gas without lateral interaction. The effect of the vapor pressure of the adsorbates in the environmental phase is taken into consideration through the chemical potential. We calculate the surface free energy $f$, the adsorption coverage $Θ$, the step tension $γ$, and the step stiffness $\tildeγ$ by the transfer matrix method combined with the density-matrix algorithm. Detailed step-density-dependence of $f$ and $Θ$ is obtained. We draw the roughening transition curve in the plane of the temperature and the chemical potential of adsorbates. We find the multi-reentrant roughening transition accompanying the inverse roughening phenomena. We also find quasi-reentrant behavior in the step tension.

Anisotropic Antiferromagnetic Spin Chains in a Transverse Field: Reentrant Behavior of the Staggered Magnetization

We investigate one-dimensional S=1/2 and S=1 antiferromagnetic quantum spin chains with easy-axis anisotropies in a transverse field. We calculate both the uniform magnetization and the staggered magnetization, using a variant of the density matrix renormalization group method. We find that the staggered magnetizations exhibit reentrant behavior as functions of the transverse field, where the competition between the classical Neel order and the quantum fluctuations plays an important role. We also discuss the critical behavior associated with the staggered magnetizations.

Vertical Density Matrix Algorithm: A Higher-Dimensional Numerical Renormalization Scheme based on the Tensor Product State Ansatz

We present a new algorithm to calculate the thermodynamic quantities of three-dimensional (3D) classical statistical systems, based on the ideas of the tensor product state and the density matrix renormalization group. We represent the maximum-eigenvalue eigenstate of the transfer matrix as the product of local tensors which are iteratively optimized by the use of the ``vertical density matrix'' formed by cutting the system along the transfer direction. This algorithm, which we call vertical density matrix algorithm (VDMA), is successfully applied to the 3D Ising model. Using the Suzuki-Trotter transformation, we can also apply the VDMA to two-dimensional (2D) quantum systems, which we demonstrate for the 2D transverse field Ising model.

Trimer-Monomer Mixture Problem on (111) $1 \times 1$ Surface of Diamond Structure

We consider a system of trimers and monomers on the triangular lattice, which describes the adsorption problem on (111) $1 \times 1$ surface of diamond structure. We give a mapping to a 3-state vertex model on the square lattice. We treat the problem by the transfer-matrix method combined with the density-matrix algorithm, to obtain thermodynamic quantities.

Statistical Mechanics of the Vicinal Surfaces with Adsorption

We study the vicinal surface with adsorption below the roughening temperature, using the restricted solid-on-solid model coupled with the Ising model. By the product-wavefunction renormalization group method, we calculate the surface gradient $p$ and the adsorption coverage $Θ$ as a function of the Andreev field $η$ which makes surface tilt. Combining Monte Carlo calculations, we show that there emerges effective attraction between the steps. This attractive interaction leads to instability against step bunching.

Two-Dimensional Tensor Product Variational Formulation

We propose a numerical self-consistent method for 3D classical lattice models, which optimizes the variational state written as two-dimensional product of tensors. The variational partition function is calculated by the corner transfer matrix renormalization group (CTMRG), which is a variant of the density matrix renormalization group (DMRG). Numerical efficiency of the method is observed via its application to the 3D Ising model.

Stiffening Transition in Vicinal Surfaces with Adsorption

We study the vicinal surface with adsorption below the roughening temperature, using the restricted solid-on-solid model coupled with the Ising model. We calculate the step tension $γ$ and the step-interaction coefficient $B$ by employing a variant of the density matrix algorithm. We find a ``stiffening transition'' at a temperature $T_{\rm s}$ where $B$ vanishes. At $T_{\rm s}$ surface free energy has the form $f(p)- f(0)= γp + ({const.})p^5 + ...$ ($p$: surface gradient), which differs from the well-known $p$-$p^3$ form.

Statistical Mechanical Calculation of Anisotropic Step Stiffness of a Two-Dimensional Hexagonal Lattice Gas Model with Next-Nearest-Neighbor Interactions: Application to Si(111) Surface

We study a two-dimensional honeycomb lattice gas model with both nearest- and next-nearest-neighbor interactions in a staggered field, which describes the surface of stoichiometrically binary crystal. We calculate anisotropic step tension, step stiffness, and equilibrium island shape, by an extended random walk method. We apply the results to Si(111) 7$\times$7 reconstructed surface and high-temperature Si(111) 1$\times$1 surface. We also calculate inter-step interaction coefficient.

Middle-Field Cusp Singularities in the Magnetization Process of One-Dimensional Quantum Antiferromagnets

We study the zero-temperature magnetization process (M-H curve) of one-dimensional quantum antiferromagnets using a variant of the density-matrix renormalization group method. For both the S=1/2 zig-zag spin ladder and the S=1 bilinear-biquadratic chain, we find clear cusp-type singularities in the middle-field region of the M-H curve. These singularities are successfully explained in terms of the double-minimum shape of the energy dispersion of the low-lying excitations. For the S=1/2 zig-zag spin ladder, we find that the cusp formation accompanies the Fermi-liquid to non-Fermi-liquid transition.

Numerical Renormalization Approach to Two-Dimensional Quantum Antiferromagnets with Valence-Bond-Solid Type Ground State

We study the ground-state properties of the two-dimensional quantum spin systems having the valence-bond-solid (VBS) type ground states. The ``product-of-tensors'' form of the ground-state wavefunction of the system is utilized to associate it with an equivalent classical lattice statistical model which can be treated by the transfer-matrix method. For diagonalization of the transfer matrix, we employ the product-wavefunction renormalization group method which is a variant of the density-matrix renormalization group method. We obtain the correlation length and the sublattice magnetization accurately. For the anisotropically ``deformed'' S=3/2 VBS model on the honeycomb lattice, we find that the correlation length as a function of the deformation parameter behaves very much alike as that in the S=3/2 VBS chain.

Universal Asymptotic Eigenvalue Distribution of Density Matrices and the Corner Transfer Matrices in the Thermodynamic Limit

We study the asymptotic behavior of the eigenvalue distribution of the Baxter's corner transfer matrix (CTM) and the density matrix (DM) in the White's density-matrix renormalization group (DMRG), for one-dimensional quantum and two-dimensional classical statistical systems. We utilize the relationship ${\rm DM}={\rm CTM}^4$ which holds for non-critical systems in the thermodynamic limit. Using the known diagonal form of CTM, we derive exact asymptotic form of the DM eigenvalue distribution for the integrable $S=1/2$ XXZ chain (and its related integrable models) in the massive regime. The result is then recast into a ``universal'' form without model-specific quantities, which leads to $ω_{m}\sim \exp[-{\rm const.}(\log m)^2]$ for $m$-th DM eigenvalue at larg $m$. We perform numerical renormalization group calculations (using the corner-transfer-matrix RG and the product-wavefunction RG) for non-integrable models, verifying the ``universal asymptotic form'' for them. Our results strongly suggest the universality of the asymptotic eigenvalue distribution of DM and CTM for a wide class of systems.

Delta-Function Bose Gas Picture of S=1 Antiferromagnetic Quantum Spin Chains Near Critical Fields

We study the zero-temperature magnetization curve (M-H curve) of the S=1 bilinear-biquadratic spin chain, whose Hamiltonian is given by $H=\sum_{i} S_i S_{i+1}+β(S_iS_{i+1})^2 with $0 \leq β<1$. We focus on validity of the delta-function bose-gas picture near the two critical fields: the saturation field $H_s$ and the lower critical field $H_c$ associated with the Haldane gap. Near $H_s$, we take ``low-energy effective S-matrix'' approach, which gives correct effective bose-gas coupling constant $c$, different from the spin-wave value. Comparing the M-H curve of the bose gas with the product-wavefunction renormalization group (PWFRG) calculation, excellent agreement is seen. Near $H_c$, comparing the PWFRG result with the bose-gas prediction, we find that there are two distinct regions of $β$ separated by a critical value $β_c(\approx 0.41)$. In the region $0<β<β_c$, the effective coupling $c$ is positive but rather small. The small value of $c$ makes the ``critical region'' of the square-root behavior $M\sim \sqrt{H-H_c}$ very narrow. Further, we find that in the $β\to β_c-0$, the square-root behavior transmutes to a different one, $M\sim (H-H_c)^{1/4}$. In the region $β_c<β<1$, the square-root behavior is rather distinct, but the effective coupling $c$ becomes negative.

The product-wavefunction renormalization group method, which is a novel numerical renormalization group scheme proposed recently,is applied to one-dimensional quantum spin chains in a magnetic field. We draw the zero-temperature magnetization curve of the spin chains, which excellently agrees with the exact solution in the whole range of the field.

We discuss colored vertex models and colored IRF (Interaction Round a Face) models from the color representations of $U_q(sl(2))$. We construct invariants of trivalent colored oriented framed graphs from color representations of $U_q(sl(2))$.
