Interaction Corrections to Spin-Wave Theory in the Quantum Heisenberg Ferromagnet

Niels Benedikter

Understanding the low-temperature properties of the Quantum Heisenberg Ferromagnet is central to a mathematical understanding of magnetism. The Quantum Heisenberg Ferromagnet can naturally be reformulated in terms of interacting bosons (called spin-waves or magnons) as an expansion in the inverse spin size. We construct a trial state which provides the first order upper bound to the free energy. We also discuss the temperature dependence and conclude that optimal temperature dependence requires cancellations in higher orders of the expansion.

Nonlinear excitations on a quantum ferromagnetic chain

Radha Balakrishnan, A. R. Bishop

We use a spin-coherent representation to derive the spectrum of nonlinear excitations in a spin-S quantum ferromagnetic Heisenberg chain in the continuum limit. Quantum effects split the semiclassical spectrum into two branches---a lower branch of spin-wave-like, large-width solitary waves with negligible quantum corrections for all S, and an upper branch of particlelike, small-width solitary waves subject to significant quantum corrections for low S. The stability of these excitations is briefly discussed.
