Quantum Heisenberg model with long-range ferromagnetic interactions
Hiroki Nakano, Minoru Takahashi
Abstract
A modified spin-wave theory is applied to the one- and two-dimensional quantum Heisenberg model with long-range ferromagnetic interactions proportional to ${\mathit{r}}^{\mathrm{\ensuremath{-}}\mathit{p}}$[scrH=-1/2${\mathit{tsum}}_{\mathit{i}\mathrm{\ensuremath{\ne}}\mathit{j}}$ (${\mathit{J}}_{0}$/${\mathit{r}}_{\mathit{i}\mathit{j}}^{\mathit{p}}$)${\mathbf{S}}_{\mathit{i}}$\ensuremath{\cdot}${\mathbf{S}}_{\mathit{j}}$]. It is shown that for dp2d there exists a phase transition at finite temperatures; the critical temperature is estimated. The susceptibility and the specific heat are obtained at low temperatures. Our results for d=1, p=2, and S=1/2 agree with the exact solution of the Haldane-Shastry model. For d=1, we find a scaling relation \ensuremath{\alpha}+1=${\ensuremath{\gamma}}^{\mathrm{\ensuremath{-}}1}$ when 2p3.
