Ground state properties of antiferromatgnetic anisotropic S=1 Heisenberg spin chains — •David Peters — Institut für Theoretische Physik, RWTH Aachen, 52064 Aachen

Using (infinite) density matrix renormalization group techniques, ground state properties of antiferromagnetic S=1 Heisenberg spin chains with exchange and single--site anisotropies in an external field are studied. The phase diagram is known to display a plenitude of interesting phases. We elucidate quantum phase transitions between the supersolid and spin--liquid as well as the spin--liquid and the ferromagnetic phases. Analyzing spin correlation functions in the spin--liquid phase, commensurate and (two distinct) incommensurate regions are identified.
