Abstract
Cu benzoate in an applied magnetic field can be described by a S = 1/2 Heis enberg antiferromagnetic chain with an effective transverse staggered field . The low-energy physics of such a system can be described by the quantum s ine-Gordon field theory. ESR measurements of Cu benzoate at very low temper ature probes the non-perturbative dynamics of the sine-Gordon field theory.
