Probing spinon interactions in the spin-1 bilinear-biquadratic chain

Strongly Correlated Electrons 2026-04-15 v1

Abstract

We study the dynamical spin and nematic correlations in the bilinear-biquadratic spin-1 chain in the critical phase hosting deconfined spinons. We demonstrate how spinon interactions can be directly probed in the presence of a magnetic field or a single-ion anisotropy. Our analytical predictions are supported by numerical matrix-product-state (MPS) simulations of the underlying microscopic model.
