Title: Phase diagram of the ground state of spin-1 quantum chains

Journal Article · · Phys. Rev. B: Condens. Matter; (United States)

A general phase diagram for anisotropic quantum spin chains is presented for the first time. The way in which the classical limit is approached is suggested. The nature of the instantons in these systems is discussed. 17 references, 3 figures.
