Abstract

The one dimensional spin-1/2 Heisenberg antiferromagnet in a weak magnetic field h is studied using the bosonization method. We derive a set of renormalization group equations. The fixed point is reached when the field is scaled to the value at which the system is quarter-filled. As the magnetic field varies, a continuum line of fixed points is formed. We compute the uniform longitudinal susceptibility χz(h)\chi_z(h). The singular behavior of χz(h)\chi_z(h) as h0h\to 0 is found to be contained in 1/ln(ho/h)1/\ln(h_o/h) with hoh_o a non-universal constant. The spin-spin correlations in the magnetic field are calculated.
