报告摘要：In this talk I will present our recent progress on the phase diagram and related quantum phase transitions in Heisenberg chains with Ising anisotropic interchain couplings. By using large-scale quantum Monte Carlo simulations, we find the Ising anisotropy of the interchain coupling can significantly enhance longitudinal spin correlations and therefore stabilize an incommensurate longitudinal spin density wave at finite magnetic field. Further increasing the field, the ground state changes to a canted antiferromagnetic phase and the magnetization eventually saturates above a quantum critical point which is shown to fall into the (3+2)D XY universality class. The calculated NMR relaxation rate 1/T_1 suggests that over a broad temperature regime the low-energy excitations of the system can be well described by a Tomonaga-Luttinger liquid. The implication of our results for the spin chain compound YbAlO3 is then discussed.
