Mean Field theory of the spin-Peierls transition

Résumé

We revisit the problem of the spin-Peierls instability in a one dimensional spin-1/2 chain coupled to phonons. The phonons are treated within the mean field approximation. We use bosonization techniques to describe the gapped spin chain and then use the Thermodynamic Bethe Ansatz to obtain quantitative results for the thermodynamics of the spin-Peierls system in a whole range of temperature. This allows us to predict the behavior of the specific heat and the magnetic susceptibility in the entire dimerized phase. We study the effect of small magnetic fields on the transition. Moreover, we obtain the parameters of the Landau-Ginzburg theory describing this continuous phase transition near the critical point.
