Localized Magnons in Ferromagnet with Impurity Spin. III

Ikuo Ono, Yoshikazu Endo

The ground state for S 0 =1 and the low-lying excited states including localized states for S 0 =1/2 of a linear Heisenberg ferromagnet of spin 1/2 containing an antiferromagnetic impurity spin are calculated, where S 0 is a magnitude of the impurity spin. In these cases they belong to the subspace spanned by the two spin deviation kets. The two magnon states are solved. The method is based on the excitation from the rigorous one magnon localized state. The wave functions and the averages of the Z component of each spin are calculated. Numerical calculations for a ring consisting of twelve spins are performed. The results are in good agreement with analytical results for the ground state energy and localized levels.

Local magnetic impurities in the two-dimensional quantum Heisenberg antiferromagnet

Valeri N. Kotov, J. Oitmaa, Oleg P. Sushkov

The two-dimensional quantum Heisenberg antiferromagnet at zero temperature, with locally frustrating magnetic defects, is studied. We consider two types of defects---an isolated ferromagnetic bond (FMB) and a quantum impurity spin, coupled symmetrically to the two sublattices. A technique is developed to study strong defect-environment interaction. In the case of a FMB we find that, contrary to the previous linear spin-wave result, the local magnetization stays finite even for strong frustration. For an antiferromagnetic coupling of a quantum impurity spin with its environment, we find a local change in the ground state. All our calculations are compared with numerical results from exact diagonalization.

Elementary excitations of a two-dimensional Ising ferromagnet in a transverse magnetic field in the presence of impurities

Yu. G. Okladnoy, V. M. Tsukernik

The influence of a magnetic impurity on the elementary excitation spectrum of a two-dimensional Ising ferromagnet is investigated in a low transverse magnetic field. It is shown that in the case of a “ferromagnetic” impurity in a matrix of spin 1/2, from one to three local energy levels can be split off from the lower edge of the continuous spectrum of one-magnon states where the conditions for their existence impose quite strict constraints on the spin-Hamiltonian parameters. Three distinct spin configurations can be realized in the presence of an “antiferromagnetic” impurity in the crystal in the ground state. Single-magnon states of a ferromagnet are considered for those values of the spin-Hamiltonian parameters when two of them are realized. It is shown that from one to six local levels above or below the continuous spectrum band can appear, and their distance from the band edge can substantially exceed its width. Quasilocal energy levels originating within the continuous spectrum of the single-magnon states are also investigated.
