Abstract

We study two-leg Heisenberg ladder with four-spin cyclic interaction using the (dynamical) density-matrix renormalization group method. We demonstrate the dependence of the low-lying excitations in the spin wave, staggered dimer order, and scalar-chirality order structure factors on the four-spin cyclic interaction. We find that the cyclic interaction enhances spin-spin correlations with wave vector around momentum (qx,qy)=(π2,0)(q_x,q_y)=(\frac{\pi}{2},0). Also, the presence of long-range order in the staggered dimer and scalar-chirality phases is confirmed by a δ\delta-function peak contribution of the structure factors at energy ω=0\omega=0.
