Thermodynamic properties of the XXZ ferromagnetic chain with long-range interactions
Lei Shu-guo
Abstract
The one-dimensional spin-1/2 Heisenberg XXZ ferromagnetic chain with uniform long-range interactions among the z components of the spins in the transverse field was studied by using the mean-field Jordan-Wigner transformation.The analytic expressions and the numerical results of the thermodynamic quantities,including the Helmholtz free energy,internal energy,specific heat,magnetization and isothermal susceptibility,were obtained.We also discussed the phase transitions of the system at a finite temperature.Our results agreed with that from other literatures in the degenerate condition.
