Critical properties of the spin-1 Heisenberg chain with uniaxial anisotropy

Abstract

We use finite-size scaling to determine the critical properties of spin-1 chains with uniaxial single-ion anisotropy D. A phase diagram is obtained in the (D) plane, where is the strength of the interaction in the direction of the single-ion anisotropy. Critical exponents are estimated. © 1984 The American Physical Society.
