Normal and Ballistic Transport in Coupled Spin Chains — •Hendrik Weimer, Mathias Michel, and Günter Mahler — Institut für Theoretische Physik I, Universität Stuttgart

We consider a three-dimensional model of coupled spin chains. The interaction inside the chains is a Heisenberg coupling while the interaction between the chains is random. In the one-particle excitation band we obtain ballistic transport along the spin chains and normal transport in the perpendicular direction. The numerical solution of the time-dependent Schrödinger equation confirms these results.
