Abstract
In the spin-Peierls compound , the commensurate-incommensurate transition concerning the modulation of atomic position and the local spin polarization is fully monitored (at zero- limit) by the application of an external magnetic field above a threshold value . The solitonic profile of the spin polarization, as well as its absolute magnitude, has been precisely imaged from NMR line shapes obtained for varying from 0.0015 to 1. This offers a unique possibility to test quantitatively the various numerical and analytical methods developed to solve a generic Hamiltonian in 1D physics, namely strongly interacting fermions in the presence of electron-phonon coupling at arbitrary band filling.
