Phase Transition of the Quantum Heisenberg Ferromagnetic Chain with Long-range Interactions
Yonglin Zhao
Abstract
Within a random phase approximation,the quantum Heisenberg ferromagnetic chain with long-range interaction proportional to r-p was studied by Green-function method.The results indicated that for exchange interaction decaying as r-p for 1p2,there existed a phase transition at finite temperature,and that no transition to a ferromagnetic phase at any finite temperature occurs for p≥2.The results are reasonable agreement with those of the Monte Carlo calculations and the other theoretical approaches.
