CRITICAL TEMPERATURES AND MEAN-FIELD CRITICAL COEFFICIENTS FOR THE HEISENBERG MODEL BASED ON CVM
Giichi Tanaka, Minoru Kimura
Abstract
Critical temperatures T c and mean-field critical coefficients [Formula: see text] for susceptibilities are calculated by a cluster-variation method (CVM) for a three-dimensional Heisenberg model on a simple cubic lattice. Both the full CVM based on a 4-spin cluster and the SCVM are applied and the same values for T c and [Formula: see text] are obtained by three different approximation in the SCVM. The results are compared with those obtained by the same approach for the three-dimensional Ising model on the simple cubic lattice.
