Crystal-field effect on the transverse susceptibility in spin-SIsing chains
Ibha Chatterjee
Abstract
The crystal-field effect in the one-dimensional Ising model for spins S=1 to (5/2) has been studied in linear-response theory by considering its effect on the susceptibility in transverse directions. For S=1 analytical expressions are obtained, and for higher spins numerical calculations are performed for various values of the crystal-field parameter (D) and the exchange parameter (J). It has been found that the susceptibility maxima which appear for D<2J, do not occur for D>2J.
