摘要
We apply the twisted-order parameter (TOP) for dimerized quantum spin ladders to locate the critical points that separate gapped phases representing quantum spin liquids of various types. Using the density matrix renormalization group (DMRG), method, we find that the TOP is a good order parameter for these systems regardless of the number of legs. As a check, we reproduce with the DMRG and periodic boundary conditions the computations previously done with quantum Monte Carlo for one-dimensional S = 1/2, S = 1, S = 3/2 and S = 2 Heisenberg chains with alternating bonds.
