An antiferromagnetic classical XY model with the nearest-neighbor interaction 2 J and the next-nearest-neighbor interaction δ J on a one-dimensional lattice is investigated in the low temperature limit. We obtain the asymptotic behaviors at long distances, of the two-spin correlation function for δ>1/2 and of the chirality-chirality correlation function for δ=1. The behavior of the latter correlation function is shown to be similar to the one of the two-spin correlation function for the Ising model with the nearest-neighbor interaction J /2 on a one-dimensional lattice.
The direct correlation function of the one-dimensional lattice-gas (Ising) model with nearest-neighbor and next-nearest-neighbor interactions is calculated exactly. It is shown that, depending on the strengths and signs of the coupling constants, the direct correlation function can either have a finite range equal to that of the interactions, or decay exponentially in a monotonic or oscillatory fashion. At the critical point, which occurs at zero temperature, the direct correlation function is found in all cases to have exactly the range of the interactions, while its values become unbounded; this is in contrast to earlier nonrigorous results. The second moment of the direct correlation function is found to diverge at the critical point, in the neighborhood of which it becomes proportional to the correlation length of the density (spin) fluctuations, confirming a prediction of scaling theory in one dimension.
High-temperature series expansions are used to examine the dependence of critical-point exponents upon the presence of second-neighbor interactions. We consider the Hamiltonian ${\mathcal{H}}_{\mathrm{nnn}}=\ensuremath{-}{J}_{1}\ensuremath{\Sigma}\stackrel{\mathrm{nn}}{〈\mathrm{ij}〉}{\stackrel{\ensuremath{\rightarrow}}{\mathrm{S}}}_{i}^{(D)}\ifmmode\cdot\else\textperiodcentered\fi{}{\stackrel{\ensuremath{\rightarrow}}{\mathrm{S}}}_{j}^{(D)}\ensuremath{-}{J}_{2}\ensuremath{\Sigma}\stackrel{\mathrm{nnn}}{〈\mathrm{ij}〉}{\stackrel{\ensuremath{\rightarrow}}{\mathrm{S}}}_{i}^{(D)}\ifmmode\cdot\else\textperiodcentered\fi{}{\stackrel{\ensuremath{\rightarrow}}{\mathrm{S}}}_{j}^{(D)},$ where the first and second sums are over pairs of nearest-neighbor (nn) and next-nearest-neighbor (nnn) sites, and where the spins ${\stackrel{\ensuremath{\rightarrow}}{\mathrm{S}}}^{(D)}$ are
D-dimensional unit vectors. The two-spin correlation function, ${C}_{2}(\stackrel{\ensuremath{\rightarrow}}{\mathrm{r}})$, is calculated to tenth, ninth, and eighth order in
kBT1 for the Ising (
D=1), classical-planar (
D=2), and classical-Heisenberg (
D=3) models, respectively, for various values of the parameter ${R}^{\ensuremath{'}}\ensuremath{\equiv}\frac{{J}_{2}}{{J}_{1}}$ and for various cubic lattices (fcc, bcc, and sample cubic). These represent the first series expansions of the spin correlation function for nnn interactions. From ${C}_{2}(\stackrel{\ensuremath{\rightarrow}}{\mathrm{r}})$ we obtain series for the specific heat, susceptibility, and second moment. Analysis of these series and detailed comparisons with the exactly soluble spherical model ($D=\ensuremath{\infty}$) lead us to conclude that the exponents $\ensuremath{\gamma}$ (susceptibility) and $\ensuremath{\nu}$ (correlation length) may be independent of ${R}^{\ensuremath{'}}$; this suggestion is consistent with the universality hypothesis.
