Impurity state in Haldane gap for S=1 Heisenberg antiferromagnetic chain with bond doping

Condensed Matter 2009-10-28 v1

Abstract

Using a new impurity density matrix renormalization group scheme, we establish a reliable picture of how the low lying energy levels of a S=1S=1 Heisenberg antiferromagnetic chain change {\it quantitatively} upon bond doping. A new impurity state gradually occurs in the Haldane gap as J<JJ' < J, while it appears only if J/J>γcJ'/J>\gamma_c with 1/γc=0.7081/\gamma_c=0.708 as J>JJ'>J. The system is non-perturbative as 1J/Jγc1\leq J'/J\leq\gamma_c. This explains the appearance of a new state in the Haldane gap in a recent experiment on Y2x_{2-x}Cax_xBaNiO5_5 [J.F. DiTusa, et al., Phys. Rev. Lett. 73 1857(1994)].
