Boundaries, cusps, and discontinuities in the multimagnon continua of one-dimensional quantum spin systems

Abstract: The multimagnon continua of one-dimensional quantum spin systems possess several interesting singular features that may soon be accessible experimentally through inelastic neutron scattering. These include cusps and composition discontinuities in the boundary envelopes of two-magnon continuum states and discontinuities in the density of states on and within the continuum, which will appear as discontinuities in scattering intensity. In this note we discuss the general origins of these continuum features, and i… Show more

“…The appearance of a splitting around the zone center reflects additional interactions. Such a splitting can potentially arise within a bound state when the potential that binds together the two interacting magnons (and which does not act upon the delocalized two-particle states of the continuum [67]) possesses a Q-dependence [46]. Given the existence of significant inter-chain exchange interactions with components along H and L, we ascribe these as the likely origin.…”

“…8(a), left) and L is indicative of a bound state superimposed onto the continuum scattering. Naively, the intensity of a two-magnon continuum is expected to be peaked at the magnetic zone center [66] with structure possible near the zone boundary [67]. The appearance of a splitting around the zone center reflects additional interactions.…”

“…We can construct a continuum of two-particle states by combining one-particle states with individual momenta κ 1 and κ 2 ; the total momentum and energy of this two-particle state is q = κ 1 + κ 2 and ω = ∆(κ 1 ) + ∆(κ 2 ). The density of states within this two-particle continuum is not uniform but given by [367]…”
