Impurity effects on frustrated ferro- and ferrimagnets in one dimension
ORAL
Abstract
We have investigated impurity effects on magnetization for frustrated one-dimensional ferro- and ferrimagnets. Using the density-matrix renormalization group method and the exact diagonalization method, we confirmed that the magnetization decreases significantly by doping non-magnetic impurities. In a special case, the magnetization can vanish due to a single impurity in finite chains. Introducing the picture of magnetic domain inversion, we numerically investigated the impurity-density dependence of magnetization. In particular, we show that the magnetization substantially decreases down to less than 60{\%} from that of the corresponding pure system by doping an infinitesimal density of impurities. We also formulate conditions for the materials which may show this anomalous impurity effect.
