Critical Phenomena of theS=1/2 Heisenberg-Ising Model Studied by CVM and CAM
Giichi Tanaka, Minoru Kimura
Abstract
The critical temperatures Tc and the mean-field critical coefficients of the susceptibility χ are calculated for the S=1/2 Heisenberg-Ising model on the simple cubic lattice by the Kikuchi approximation and its simplified versions. χ̄ shows a coherent anomaly. It means that the coherent-anomaly method (CAM) is applicable to evaluate the true critical temperature T*c and the non-classical critical exponent γ for the susceptibility. As a result, the dependence of T*c on an anisotropy parameter η is given. It is shown that the behavior of γ versus η approaches a fiat line step by step as the corrections up to the higher order approximation are taken into account for 0≦η<1. It implies that the anisotropy parameter η of the Heisenberg-Ising model is irrelevant for critical exponents, if η is less than 1, as expected by the renormalization-group argument.
