Calculation of Neel temperature for S=1/2 quasi-one-dimensional Heisenberg antiferromagnets

The nonlinear sigma-model and its generalization on N-component spins, the O(N) model, are considered to describe thermodynamics of a quantum quasi-two-dimensional (quasi-2D) Heisenberg antiferromagnet. A comparison with standard spin-wave approaches is performed. The sublattice magnetization, Neel temperature and spin correlation function are calculated to first order of the 1/N-expansion. A description of crossover from a 2D-like to 3D regime of sublattice magnetization tem...

We present an analytic expression for the finite temperature sublattice magnetization, at the Josephson scale, in two dimensional quantum antiferromagnets with short range N\'eel order. Our expression is able to reproduce both the qualitative behaviour of the phase diagram $M(T)/M_{0}$ and the experimental values of the N\'eel temperature $T_{N}$ for either doped YBa$_{2}$Cu$_{3}$O$_{6.15}$ and stoichiometric La$_{2}$CuO$_{4}$.

Using the bosonization technique, we have studied a spin-1/2 magnetic impurity in Heisenberg chain, and shown that the impurity specific heat and spin susceptibility have an anomalous temperature dependence.

We present an analytic expression for the finite temperature effective sublattice magnetization which would be detected by inelastic neutron scattering experiments performed on a two-dimensional square-lattice quantum Heisenberg antiferromagnets with short range N\'eel order. Our expression, which has no adjustable parameters, is able to reproduce both the qualitative behaviour of the phase diagram $M(T)xT$ and the experimental values of the N\'eel temperature $T_{N}$ for eit...

The Schwinger boson mean field theory is applied to the quantum ferrimagnetic Heisenberg chain. There is a ferrimagnetic long range order in the ground state. We observe two branches of the low lying excitation and calculate the spin reduction, the gap of the antiferromagnetic branch, and the spin fluctuation at $T=0K$. These results agree with the established numerical results quite well. At finite temperatures, the long range order is destroyed because of the disappearance ...

Sr_2CuO_3 and Ca_2CuO_3 are considered to be model systems of strongly anisotropic, spin-1/2 Heisenberg antiferromagnets. We report on the basis of a band-structure analysis within the local density approximation and on the basis of available experimental data a careful analysis of model parameters for extended Hubbard and Heisenberg models. Both insulating compounds show half-filled nearly one-dimensional antibonding bands within the LDA. That indicates the importance of str...

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.

The phase diagram of weakly coupled $XXZ$ chains in a transverse magnetic field is studied using the mean-field approximation for the interchain coupling and known exact results for an effective one-dimensional model. Results are applied to the quasi-one-dimensional antiferromagnet $Cs_{2}CoCl_{4}$ and the value of interchain interaction in this compound is estimated.

The magnetization plateaux in two dimensionally coupled S=1/2 dimerized zigzag Heisenberg chains are investigated by means of the bond operator mean field approximation. In the absence of the interchain coupling, this model is known to have a plateau at half of the saturation magnetization accompanied by the spontanuous translational symmetry breakdown. The parameter regime in which the plateau appears is reproduced well within the present approximation. In the presence of th...

For the weakly coupled S=1 antiferromagnetic Heisenberg chains on a simple cubic lattice, the effects of magnetic impurities are investigated by the quantum Monte Carlo method with the continuous-time loop algorithm. The transition temperatures of the impurity-induced phase transitions for magnetic impurities with S=1/2, 3/2, and 2 are determined and compared with the transition temperature induced by the non-magnetic impurities. Implications on the experimental results are d...
