【 摘 要 】

The coupled-cluster method (CCM) has already been successfully applied by us to anisotropic quantum antiferromagnetic models (XXZ model) with spin s = 1/2 in one and two dimensions. This approach is now generalized to the same models but with spin s > 1/2. We mainly consider the one-dimensional system in this article. Several systematic approximation schemes developed previously are employed. The ground-state energy is obtained as a function of the spin s and anisotropy. It is found that, for a given approximation that contains long-range contributions, the critical value of the anisotropy for the Heisenberg-Ising phase transition rapidly approaches the classical value of 1 as the spin s increases. We also generalize one of the schemes to a hypercubic lattice of arbitrary dimensionality. By making a detailed comparison with spin-wave theory, perturbation theory, and other variational approaches, some additional intrinsic features of the CCM treatments are emphasized.
