Quantum phase transition of a triangular lattice spin tube and edge spin effects. (English) Zbl 1179.82056
Summary: We study the low-energy excitation of the quantum spin tube with the triangular lattice structure, using density matrix renormalization group. Taking account of the edge spin effect, we particularly investigate the spin gap behavior and the low-field magnetization curve near the quantum phase transition point in contrast with the usual free boundary condition. We then find that the bulk behavior of the spin tube can be extracted easier for the single spin termination.
