Spin transport in a long-range-interacting spin chain
Spin transport in a long-range-interacting spin chain
We numerically study spin transport and nonequilibrium spin-density profiles in a clean one-dimensional spin-chain with long-range interactions, decaying as a power-law,$r^{-\alpha}$ with distance. We find two distinct regimes of transport: for $\alpha<1/2$, spin excitations relax instantaneously in the thermodynamic limit, and for $\alpha>1/2$, spin transport combines both diffusive and superdiffusive …
