摘要
We present a static. model-independent, experimental determination of the spin-spin correlation length xi in a quantum spin system. This is achieved in the doped Haldane (i.e., S = 1 Heisenberg antiferromagnetic) chain Y2BaNi1-xMgxO5 by Y-89 NMR imaging of the staggered magnetization induced around the Mg impurities (i.e., chain boundaries) by a magnetic field. The magnitude of this magnetization is found to decay exponentially, with xi equal to the theoretical prediction or an infinite S = 1 chain and the staggered magnetic moment at the edge site showing the Curie behavior of an effective S = 1/2 spin.
