AbstractIn this work, we present a comparative study of thermodynamic quantum equilibrium observables of spin-1 Heisenberg chain. As a theoretical approach, the modified spin-wave theory is chosen. From the numerical side, we consider finite-temperature Lanczos, kernel polynomial, and density matrix renormalization techniques. The results show general consistency of thermodynamic quantities, such as heat capacity and magnetic susceptibility, calculated within the approaches. For the modified spin-wave, the results show some inaccuracy especially at low temperature, failure in capturing the gapped features of spin-1 Heisenberg chain, while the numerical approaches illustrate a good achievement at $$T\rightarrow 0$$ T → 0 within the proper parameters chosen.

The modified spin-wave theory is used to investigate the one-dimensional Heisenberg ferromagnet with the nearest-neighbor (NN) and next-nearest-neighbor (NNN) exchange anisotropies. The ground-state and low-temperature properties of the system are studied within the self-consistent method. It is found that the effect of the NN anisotropy on the thermodynamic quantities is stronger than that of the NNN anisotropy in the low-temperature region. The anisotropy dependence behaviors (such as the power, exponential and linear laws) are obtained for the position and the height of the maximum of the specific heat and its coefficient, as well as the susceptibility coefficient. The specific heat and its coefficient both display the low-temperature double maxima which are induced by the anisotropies and the NNN interaction. In the very low temperatures the specific heat and the susceptibility behave severally as T[Formula: see text] and T[Formula: see text] at the critical point J2/J1 = −0.25, where J1 and J2 are the NN and NNN interactions, respectively.
