Variational Cumulant Expansion Study of Thermodynamical Character of Magnetic Thin Film
Yu Deng
Abstract
The variational cumulant expansion method is applied to the thermodyna-mical characters of quantum spin Heisenberg film. The internal energy and specif ic heat are calculated and displayed from the first to the third order. The inte rnal energy is not continueous expect the first order and the specific heat is n ot continueous until the third order in the critical reduced temperature.
