Theory of nuclear magnetic relaxation in Haldane gap materials: an illustration of the use of (1+1)-dimensional field theory techniques

A comprehensive theory of nuclear magnetic relaxation in S = 1 Haldane gap materials is developed using nonlinear-σ, boson and fermion models. We find that at temperatures much smaller than the lowest gap the dominant contribution to the relaxation rate comes from two magnon processes with T₁⁻¹ ∼ e[...
