New universality class in spin-one-half Fibonacci Heisenberg chains.
Low energy properties of the S=1/2 antiferromagnetic Heisenberg chains with Fibonacci exchange modulation are studied using the real space renormalization group method for strong exchange modulation. Using the analytical solution of the recursion equation, the true asymptotic behavoir is revealed, which was veiled by the finite size effect in the previous numerical works. It is found that the ground state of this model belongs to a new universality class with a logarithmically divergent dynamical exponent which is neither like Fibonacci XY chains nor like XY chains with relevant aperiodicity.
