“…Varieties of models describing such quantum mixed spin chains have been investigated [1][2][3][4][5][6], among which much attention has been directed to the two-sublattice mixed spin-S A and spin-S B (S A aS B ) Ising systems, particularly the mixed-spin, spin-1/2 and spin-1 Ising system. This system has been extensively studied by both theoretical and numerical techniques, such as the renormalization group technique [7,8], the high-temperature series expansions [9], the effective-field theory [10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19], the mean-field theory [20][21][22], the spin-wave theory [3,23], Green's function approach [25], the DMRG methods [3,23], and the Monte Carlo simulations [24]. Although delightful results were acquired from the above investigations, exact analytical solution for this model will continue to be of great value for us to understand the essential physics of this quantum mixed spin chain model.…”
