Spin diffusion and the spin 1/2 XXZ chain at T=∞ from exact diagonalization

Abstract

We study the long time behavior of the zz and xx time dependent autocorrelation function of the spin 1/2 XXZ chain at T=∞ by exact diagonalizations on a chain of 16 sites. We find that the numerical results for the zz correlation are very well fit by the formula t-d[A+Be-γ (t-t0) (t-t0)]. From this we estimate d as a function of the anisotropy of the chain and study the crossover from ballistic to diffusive behavior.
