In der vorliegenden Dissertation werden Grundzustandseigenschaften von S = 1 Spinketten mit Austausch- und zusatzlicher Ein-Ionen-Anisotropie im Magnetfeld untersucht. Fruheren Arbeiten folgend werden hauptsachlich zwei Falle betrachtet: Ein festes Verhaltnis der beiden Aniostropien und eine feste, stark anisotrope Austauschanisotropie. Methodisch wird vorwiegend die Dichtematrix-Renormierungsgruppe (DMRG) fur eine endliche Kettenlange und fur ein unbegrenztes System (iDMRG) verwendet. Bei dem hier erstmals durchgefuhrten Vergleich der Phasendiagramme fur die Quanten-Spinkette und das...
