  The correlations, entanglement entropy, and fidelity susceptibility are
calculated for a one-dimensional spin-1/2 XXZ chain with anisotropic power-law
long range interactions by employing the density matrix renormalization group
method. In particular, this long-range interaction is assigned to ferromagnetic
for transversal components, while it can be either ferro- or antiferromagnetic
for the longitudinal spin component. Two ground-state phase diagrams are
established versus the anisotropy of the interactions which not only changes
the phase boundaries of the counterparts with short-range interactions, but
also leads to the emergence of exotic phases. We found that the long-range
interactions of the z-component results in a Wigner crystal phase, whereas the
transversal one may break a continuous symmetry, resulting in a continuous
symmetry breaking phase.
