Stochastic description of the dynamics of the random-exchange Heisenberg chain

Statistical Mechanics 2007-05-23 v3

Abstract

We study the diffusion process in a Heisenberg chain with correlated spatial disorder, with a power spectrum in the momentum space behaving as kβk^{-\beta}, using a stochastic description. It establishes a direct connection between the fluctuation in the spin-wave density of states and the noise density of states. For continuous ranges of the exponent β\beta , we find superdiffusive and ballistic spin-wave motions. Both diffusion exponents predicted by the stochastic procedure agree with the ones calculated using the Hamiltonian dynamics.
