Abstract

We investigate the adiabatic magnetization process of the one-dimensional JQ2J-Q_{2} model with XXZ anisotropy gg in an external magnetic field hh by using density matrix renormalization group (DMRG) method. According to the characteristic of the magnetization curves, we draw a magnetization phase diagram consisting of four phases. For a fixed nonzero pair coupling QQ, i) when g<1g<-1, the ground state is always ferromagnetic in spite of hh; ii) when g>1g>-1 but still small, the whole magnetization curve is continuous and smooth; iii) if further increasing gg, there is a macroscopic magnetization jump from partially- to fully-polarized state; iv) for a sufficiently large gg, the magnetization jump is from non- to fully-polarized state. By examining the energy per magnon and the correlation function, we find that the origin of the magnetization jump is the condensation of magnons and the formation of magnetic domains. We also demonstrate that while the experienced states are Heisenberg-like without long-range order, all the \textit{jumped-over} states have antiferromagnetic or N\'eel long-range orders, or their mixing.
