Second order quantum renormalisation group of XXZ chain with next-nearest neighbour interactions

Abstract

We have extended the application of quantum renormalisation group (QRG) to the anisotropic Heisenberg model with next-nearest neighbour ( n - n - n ) interaction. The second order correction has to be taken into account to get a self similar renormalised Hamiltonian in the presence of n - n - n -interaction. We have obtained the phase diagram of this model which consists of three different phases, i.e., spin-fluid, dimerised and Néel types which merge at the tri-critical point. The anisotropy of the n - n - n -term changes the phase diagram significantly. It has a dominant role in the Néel–dimer phase boundary. The staggered magnetisation as an order parameter defines the border between fluid–Néel and Néel–dimer phases. The improvement of the second order RG corrections on the ground state energy of the Heisenberg model is presented. Moreover, the application of second order QRG on the spin lattice model has been discussed generally. Our scheme shows that higher order corrections lead to an effective Hamiltonian with infinite range of interactions.
