Abstract
Magnetization curves of ferrimagnetic mixed spin-1 and spin-2 Heisenberg chains are calculated with the help of density-matrix renormalization group method and quantum Monte Carlo simulations by considering a spin dimerization (1,2), trimerization (1,1,2) and tetramerization (1,1,1,2). The investigated mixed-spin Heisenberg chains can be alternatively viewed as a pure spin-1 Heisenberg chain, which contains at a regular lattice positions spin-2 particles. Unlike the antiferromagnetic spin-1 Heisenberg chain solely displaying a zero magnetization plateau due to the Haldane phase, the ferrimagnetic mixed spin-(1,2), spin-(1,1,2) and spin-(1,1,1,2) Heisenberg chains exhibit more striking magnetization curves involving at least two intermediate magnetization plateaux and quantum spin-liquid states.
