Combined study of Schwinger-boson mean-field theory and linearized tensor renormalization group on Heisenberg ferromagnetic mixed spin (S, σ) chains

The Schwinger-boson mean-field theory (SBMFT) and the linearized tensor renormalization group (LTRG) methods are complementarily applied to explore the thermodynamics of the quantum ferromagnetic mixed spin (S, σ) chains. It is found that the system has double excitations, i.e. a gapless and a gappe...
