Abstract: Luttinger liquid (LL) phase refers to a quantum phase which emerges in the ground state phase diagram of quite often low-dimensional quantum magnets as spin-1/2 XX, XYY and frustrated chains. It is believed that the quasi long-range order exists between particles forming the system in the LL phase. Here, at the first step we concentrate on the study of correlated spin particles in the one-dimensional (1D) spin-1/2 XX model which is exactly solvable. We show that the spin-1/2 particles form string orders with an even number of spins in the LL phase of the 1D spin-1/2 XX model. As soon as the transverse magnetic field is applied to the system, string orders with an odd number of spins induce in the LL phase. All ordered strings of spin-1/2 particles will be destroyed at the quantum critical transverse field, hc. No strings exist in the saturated ferromagnetic phase. At the second step we focus on the LL phase in the ground state phase diagram of the 1D spin-1/2 XYY and frustrated ferromagnetic models. We show that the even-string orders exist in the LL phase of the 1D spin-1/2 XYY model but in the LL phase of the 1D spin-1/2 frustrated ferromagnetic model we found all kind of strings. In addition, the existence of a clear relation between the long-distance entanglement and string orders in the LL phase is shown. Also, the effect of the thermal fluctuations on the behavior of the string orders is studied.
