The Phase Transition of the Quantum SpinS=1/2-XXZModel for a Square Lattice
Takeshi Kawabe
Abstract
The transverse and longitudinal spin-pair correlations are obtained as a function of temperature by the second-order Green's function method. The longitudinal N. N. spin-pair correlation at the ground state becomes negative for anisotropy parameter η between the X Y model (η=0) and quite near the Heisenberg model (η∼1.0). It is predicted from these results that the first-order phase transition occurs near the Heisenberg limit. For η=0.9, it occurs at a temperature τ c restricted by 2.4<τ<6.3.
