Persistence of power-law correlations in nonequilibrium steady states of gapped quantum spin chains

The existence of quasi-long-range order is demonstrated in nonequilibrium steady states in isotropic XY spin chains including two types of additional terms that each generate a gap in the energy spectrum. The system is driven out of equilibrium by initializing a domain-wall magnetization profile thr...
