The spin-Peierls transition is modeled in the dimer phase of the spin-$1/2$ chain with exchanges $J_1$, $J_2 = \alpha J_1$ between first and second neighbors. The degenerate ground state generates an energy cusp that qualitatively changes…
The microscopic description of the spin-Peierls transition in pure and doped CuGeO_3 is developed taking into account realistic details of crystal structure. It it shown that the presence of side-groups (here Ge) strongly influences…
A mean-field theory of the spin Peierls systems based on the two dimensional dimerized Heisenberg model is proposed by introducing an alternating bond order parameter. Improvements with respect to previous mean-field results are found in…
We develop a theory of the spin-Peierls transition taking into account the three dimensional character of the phonon field. Our approach does not rely on the adiabatic or mean field treatment for the phonons. It is instead based in the…
We study numerically, using a one-dimensional Heisenberg model, the spin-Peierls transition in the linear Cu$^{2+}$ spin-1/2 chains in the inorganic compound CuGeO$_3$ which has been recently observed experimentally. We suggest that the…
The spin-Peierls phase transition in CuGeO_3 has been extensively studied utilizing a variety of experimental techniques. Interpretations of the phase transition behavior vary from tricritical to mean field to Ising critical to XY critical.…
Raman experiments on the spin-Peierls compound CuGeO$_3$ and the substituted (Cu$_{1- x}$,Zn$_x$)GeO$_3$ and Cu(Ge$_{1-x}$,Ga$_x$)O$_3$ compounds were performed in order to investigate the response of specific magnetic excitations of the…
We have studied magnetic excitations in the dimerized spin-Peierls phase of CuGeO3, by high resolution inelastic neutron scattering. We measured the well-defined spin triplet dispersive mode which is gapped throughout the whole Brillouin…
Phases and phase transitions in pure and doped spin-Peierls system CuGeO_3 are considered on the basis of a Landau-theory. In particular we discuss the critical behaviour, the soliton width and the low temperature specific heat of the…
We report results from a systematic strong-coupling expansion of a spin-1/2 Heisenberg chain coupled to Einstein phonons. In the non-adiabatic regime this model is used to describe zero temperature properties of CuGeO3. The linked cluster…
We study the (spin-)Peierls transition in quasi-one-dimensional disordered systems, treating the lattice classically. The role of kinks, induced thermally and by disorder, is emphasized. For weak interchain interaction the kinks destroy the…
Temperature ($2.3<T<40$\ K) and magnetic field ($0<B<17$\ T) dependent far infrared absorption spectroscopy on the spin-Peierls coumpound CuGeO$_3$\ has revealed several new absorption processes in both the dimerised and high field phase of…
We report comprehensive synchrotron x-ray scattering and magnetic susceptibility studies of the doped spin-Peierls materials Cu_{1-x}Zn_xGeO_3 and CuGe_{1-y}Si_yO_3. Temperature versus dopant concentration phase diagrams are mapped out for…
CuGeO$_3$ has long been studied as a prototypical example of the spin-Peierls transition in a $S = 1/2$ Heisenberg chain. Despite intensive investigation of this quasi-one-dimensional material, systematic measurements and calculations of…
The magnetic field--driven transition in the spin-Peierls system CuGeO_3 associated with the closing of the spin gap is investigated numerically. The field dependence of the spin dynamical structure factor (seen by inelastic neutron…
The uniaxial pressure dependences of the exchange coupling and the structural distortion in the dimerized phase of CuGeO$_3$ are analyzed. A minimum magnetic dimerization of 3 % is obtained, incompatible with an adiabatic approach to the…
In the spin-Peierls compound CuGeO$_{3}$, the commensurate-incommensurate transition concerning the modulation of atomic position and the local spin-polarization is fully monitored at T=0 by the application of an external magnetic field…
The theory by Cross and Fisher (CF) is by now commonly accepted for the description of the spin-Peierls transition within an adiabatic approach. The dimerization susceptibility as the essential quantity, however, is approximated by means of…
Neutron scattering measurements on a large single crystal of CuGeO$_3$ have been used to determine the temperature-dependence of the spin-Peierls energy gap. While the power law behavior of the intensity of structural superlattice peaks is…
The effect of in-chain and off-chain substitutions on 1D spin fluctuations in the spin-Peierls compound CuGeO_3 has been studied using Raman scattering in order to understand the interplay between defect induced states, enhanced spin-spin…
