We simulated the field-dependent magnetization m(H,T) and the uniform susceptibility \chi(H,T) of classical Heisenberg antiferromagnets in the chain and square-lattice geometry using Monte Carlo methods. The results confirm the singular behavior of \chi(H,T) at small T,H: \lim_{T \to 0}\lim_{H \to 0} \chi(H,T)=1/(2J_0)(1-1/D) and \lim_{H \to 0}\lim_{T \to 0} \chi(H,T)=1/(2J_0), where D=3 is the number of spin components, J_0=zJ, and z is the number of nearest neighbors. A good agreement is achieved in a wide range of temperatures T and magnetic fields H with the first-order 1/D expansion results [D. A. Garanin, J. Stat. Phys. 83, 907 (1996)]

Highly accurate results are presented for the susceptibility, $\chi (T)$ of the $s=1/2$ Heisenberg antiferromagnetic chain for all temperatures, using the Bethe ansatz and field theory methods. After going through a rounded peak, $\chi (T)$ approaches its asympotic zero-temperature value with infinite slope.

We present thermodynamic measurements of various physical observables of the two dimensional S=1/2 isotropic quantum Heisenberg antiferromagnet on a square lattice, obtained by quantum Monte Carlo. In particular we have been able to measure the infinite volume limit of the uniform susceptibility up to the inverse temperature beta=40, the analysis of which reveals the correct asymptotic behavior in excellent agreement with the prediction of chiral perturbation theory. The cont...

The field-dependent magnetization m(H,T) of 1- and 2-dimensional classical magnets described by the $D$-component vector model is calculated analytically in the whole range of temperature and magnetic fields with the help of the 1/D expansion. In the 1-st order in 1/D the theory reproduces with a good accuracy the temperature dependence of the zero-field susceptibility of antiferromagnets \chi with the maximum at T \lsim |J_0|/D (J_0 is the Fourier component of the exchange i...

A perturbation spin-wave theory for the quantum Heisenberg antiferromagnets on a square lattice is proposed to calculate the uniform static magnetic susceptibility at finite temperatures, where a divergence in the previous theories due to an artificial phase transition has been removed. To the zeroth order, the main features of the uniform static susceptibility are produced: a linear temperature dependence at low temperatures and a smooth crossover in the intermediate range a...

Antiferromagnetic Heisenberg spin chains with various spin values ($S=1/2,1,3/2,2,5/2$) are studied numerically with the quantum Monte Carlo method. Effective spin $S$ chains are realized by ferromagnetically coupling $n=2S$ antiferromagnetic spin chains with $S=1/2$. The temperature dependence of the uniform susceptibility, the staggered susceptibility, and the static structure factor peak intensity are computed down to very low temperatures, $T/J \approx 0.01$. The correlat...

The magnetic susceptibility chi and specific heat C versus temperature T of the spin-1/2 antiferromagnetic alternating-exchange (J1 and J2) Heisenberg chain are studied for the entire range 0 \leq alpha \leq 1 of the alternation parameter alpha = J2/J1. For the uniform chain (alpha = 1), detailed comparisons of the high-accuracy chi(T) and C(T) Bethe ansatz data of Kluemper and Johnston are made with the asymptotically exact low-T field theory predictions of Lukyanov. QMC sim...

The classical, square lattice, uniaxially anisotropic Heisenberg antiferromagnet in a magnetic field parallel to the easy axis is studied using Monte Carlo techniques. The model displays a long-range ordered antiferromagnetic, an algebraically ordered spin-flop, and a paramagnetic phase. The simulations indicate that a narrow disordered phase intervenes between the ordered phases down to quite low temperatures. Results are compared to previous, partially conflicting findings ...

A nonlinear susceptibilities (the third derivative of a magnetization $m_S$ by a magnetic field $h$ ) of the $S$=1/2 ferromagnetic Heisenberg chain and the classical Heisenberg chain are calculated at low temperatures $T.$ In both chains the nonlinear susceptibilities diverge as $T^{-6}$ and a linear susceptibilities diverge as $T^{-2}.$ The arbitrary spin $S$ Heisenberg ferromagnet $[$ ${\cal H} = \sum_{i=1}^{N} \{ - J{\bf S}_{i} {\bf S}_{i+1} - (h/S) S_{i}^{z} \}$ $(J>0),$ ...

Using the quantum Monte Carlo Loop algorithm, we calculate the temperature dependence of the uniform susceptibility, the specific heat, the correlation length, the generalized staggered susceptibility and magnetization of a spin-1/2 chain with random antiferromagnetic and ferromagnetic couplings, down to very low temperatures. Our data show a consistent scaling behavior in all the quantities and support strongly the conjecture drawn from the approximate real-space renormaliza...

The thermodynamic properties (magnetization, magnetic susceptibility, transverse and longitudinal correlation lengths, specific heat) of one- and two-dimensional ferromagnets with arbitrary spin S in a magnetic field are investigated by a second-order Green-function theory. In addition, quantum Monte Carlo simulations for S= 1/2 and S=1 are performed using the stochastic series expansion method. A good agreement between the results of both approaches is found. The field depen...
