Scientific paper

The anisotropic XY-model in a transverse field (s=1/2) on the one-dimensional alternating superlattice (closed chain) is considered. The solution of the model is obtained by introducing a generalized Jordan-Wigner transformation which maps the system onto a non-interacting fermion gas. The exact excitation spectrum is determined by reducing the problem to a diagonalization of a block matrix, and it is shown that it is numerically identical to the one obtained by using the approximate transfer matrix method . The induced magnetization and the susceptibility $\chi ^{zz}$ are determined as a function of the transverse field, and it is shown that, at T=0, the susceptibility presents multiple singularities. It is also shown, as expected, that this critical behaviour driven by transverse field belongs to the same universality class of the model on the alternating chain.
