Statistical mechanics of classical one-dimensional Heisenberg ferromagnets with single-site anisotropy

Abstract

The exact analytical forms of the low-temperature thermodynamic quantities and correlation functions are obtained for classical one-dimensional Heisenberg ferromagnets with single-site anisotropy including both the systems with an easy axis and with an easy plane. The problem has been managed on the basis of the functional integral method. The calculated results have a few leading terms in series-expansion with respect to the reduced temperature, exhibiting the characteristic points borne out in the recent numerical studies. In particular, the longitudinal correlation function and susceptibility of the system with an easy axis show Ising-like behaviours and the transverse counterparts of the system with an easy plane show isotropic XY- or Heisenberg-like behaviours. Physical implications of the calculated results are also discussed.

Statistical mechanics of classical spin-field model of the one-dimensional Heisenberg ferromagnet in a magnetic field

Kazuo Torii Nakamura, Tomohei Sasada

The exact analytical forms of the low-temperature free energy, and longitudinal and transverse correlation functions are obtained for the continuum model of the classical one-dimensional Heisenberg ferromagnet in a magnetic field. The calculated results show a few leading terms in series expansion with respect to the reduced temperature. It is also pointed out that the low-temperature free energy can not be identified with its counterpart for the XY model in a magnetic field.

Low-temperature thermodynamics and correlation functions for a classical Heisenberg chain with two anisotropies

Hans C. Fogedby, Per Hedegård, A. Svane

The authors derive the thermodynamics and the static correlation functions for the classical Heisenberg chain with the anisotropies within a low-temperature steepest-descent approach. As regards the thermodynamics, they find agreement with transfer matrix and 'ideal-gas' phenomenological results. For the longitudinal correlation function the authors find an antiferromagnetic-type behaviour with a correlation length inversely proportional to the domain wall density. The transverse in-plane correlation function exhibits a damped oscillatory behaviour due to domain-wall-spin interference. The transverse out-of-plane correlations, on the other hand, are exponentially damped with the correlation length increasing as the easy-axis limit is approached.

Static correlations in one-dimensional classical easy-plane magnets

Marta Z. Cieplak, M. Gutowski, Alf Sjölander

The static two- and four-spin correlations for the one-dimensional easy-plane Heisenberg spin system with a ferromagnetic coupling, like CsNiF 3 , are investigated in the classical limit by means of the transfer matrix method. They are found to consist essentially of two components which both depend exponentially on the distance between sites. Both in the high- and low-temperature regions, only one component remains and this component still dominates at intermediate temperatures. Analytic forms for the correlation functions are given for asymptotically low temperatures. These are obtained by calculating the second-frequency moment of the dynamical structure factor in three different ways, and by requiring the T=0 limit of the moment to coincide with the square of the spin wave frequency. Generalisations of the Tomita-Mashiyama recursion relations (1972) for the isotropic case are given, valid for low temperatures, Monte Carlo calculations of the correlation functions have also been performed and some results of these are presented as well.

Static correlations in one-dimensional easy-axis magnets

Marek Cieplak, A Kryszen

The static two- and four-spin correlations for one-dimensional easy-axis Heisenberg systems are investigated in the classical limit by means of the transfer matrix method. Both in the high- and low-temperature regions they are found to depend exponentially on the distance between sites. Thus generalisations of the Tomita-Mashiyama recursion relations for the isotropic case can be given. Analytic forms for several types of the correlation functions are obtained for asymptotically low temperatures. These are derived by discussing properties of the second frequency moment of the dynamical structure factor. The dynamical structure factor for the axial components, unlike in the easy-plane systems, should be of non-vanishing width at T=0.

Statistical Mechanics of a Classical Heisenberg Chain with Anisotropies

Kazuo Sasaki

Statistical mechanics of a classical Heisenberg ferromagnetic chain with weak anisotropies, which exhibits the crossover behavior from the XY- to Ishing-like systems as an anisotropy parameter is varied, are studied by means of the transfer integral method. Analytic expressions for the free energy and correlation functions are obtained at low temperatures. The kink and spin wave contributions to these quantities are identified.

High-Temperature Critical Indices for the Classical Anisotropic Heisenberg Model

David Jasnow, Michael Wortis

Using the vertex renormalized form of the technique developed by Englert,1 high-temperature series expansions for the spin-spin correlation function of the classical anisotropic Heisenberg model are calculated for various lattices and anisotropies through order T−8 (close-packed lattices) and T−9 (loose-packed lattices). These series are combined and then extrapolated to give the high-temperature critical indices γ (zero-field susceptibility), ν (correlation range), and α (specific heat) as functions of anisotropy. The results are consistent with the hypothesis that the critical indices only change when there is a change in the symmetry of the system, e.g., in interpolating between the Ising and isotropic Heisenberg models, indices remain Ising-like until the system becomes isotropic, at which point they appear to change discontinuously. Previous results for the limiting cases are confirmed and extended. Series for the limiting cases (spin-infinity Ising, XY and isotropic Heisenberg models) as well as for the spin-½ Ising model2 have been derived for the B-site spinel lattice. Analysis of these series shows that the anomalies in the critical indices, reported on the basis of six-term expansions,3 disappear with the use of longer series.
