Abstract

Description

Ground-state and thermodynamic properties of the one-dimensional Heisenberg antiferromagnet in which two S=1/2 and two S=1 spins are arranged alternatively are studied by a quantum Monte Carlo method and by analytical estimates. It is found that the ground state of the system undergoes a second-order phase transition which accompanies the vanishing of the energy gap.
