The ground state(s) of a Hamiltonian, introduced by Affleck, Kennedy, Lieb and Tasaki, in connection with the Valence-Bond-Solid (VBS) states, are explicitly given for the spin-1 chains. The structure of these ground states is a rather simple one. For a closed chain we find a unique ground state; for the open chain we find a fourfold-degenerate ground state. The ground state correlation function for the ring is calculated.


Measurements have been made of the magnetic susceptibility and the magnetic contributions to the specific heat of dysprosium ethyl sulphate, at temperatures between 20 and 1°K. It is shown that below about 3°K these properties, and also the earlier optical rotation measure­ments of Becquerel et al ., can be accounted for satisfactorily in terms of a doubly degenerate ground state of the magnetic ions, with spectroscopic splitting factors parallel and perpen­dicular to the crystal axis g 1 = 10.8 and g ┴ = 0, together with an unusually strong coupling between the ions arising from magnetic dipole-dipole interaction. The effect of other inter­actions is shown to be small. Because of this, and the extreme anisotropy of the g -tensor, the properties of this substance at very low temperatures (~ 0.1°K) should closely resemble those of a classical Ising model with known, dipolar forces between the ions. At temperatures above 3°K other states of the ions become populated and it is shown that the first of these lies at an energy of (23 ± 3) k , in good agreement with other experiments.
