Thermodynamics of intermediate-spin Heisenberg-chains — •Simon Großjohann and Wolfram Brenig — Institute for Theoretical Physics, Technical University Braunschweig, Germany

We investigate the crossover from quantum to classical behavior in one-dimensional spin-S chains by a complementary analysis of the thermodynamic properties resulting from quantum Monte-Carlo calculations as well as from the large-S limit. Using the stochastic series expansion, results will be given for the thermodynamic limit of chains with spins ranging from S=1/2 to S=5/2 and for temperatures 0.01≤ T/J ≤ 20. We find a tendency of the peak-positions Tm of the quantum and classical uniform susceptibilities, χq and χc, to converge as S →5/2. However for both, Haldane and non-Haldane systems, substantial quantitative and qualitative differences remain between χq and χc, regarding the low-temperature behavior even for the larger spin magnitudes. We will compare our results with Bethe-Ansatz calculations and present Padé-approximants for χq which improve fit-formulas previously reported in literature.
