Abstract
The magnetization process of the S = 1/2 spin ladder system with ferromagnetic rung exchange interaction is investigated by the numerical exact diagonalization of finite-size clusters. It is found that in the presence of an easy-axis anisotropy the system exhibits a two-step field induced phase transition corresponding to the spin flop. Due to large quantum fluctuation, each step is a second-order transition and the second step occurs between two different Tomonaga-Luttinger liquid phases. Some phase diagrams are also presented.
