چکیده

Known antiferronlagnetic nlaterials far out nwnber known ferronlagnetic and ferrinlagnetic nlaterials. More­ over, the antife rronlagnets display a wide variety of phase transitions in addition to the paranlagnetic to antiferro­ nlagnetic transition at the Neel point, that nlake thenl a rich source of infornlation about the relations hip between exchange interactions, structure, and phase transition phenonlena. Mossbauer spectroscopy has been used ex­ tensively over the last decade to study antiferrornagnets, capitalizing on the fact that the nlagneti c hyperfine field is proportional to the sublattice nlagnetization. In general, these studies have concentrated on deternlining the nlagnetic structure below TN and the sublattice nlagnetization as a function of T below TN' in SOnle cases in the critical region. Less well stuCiied are those transitions in anti­ ferronlagnets which are induced by external nlagnetic fields, although in these cases too, Mo'ssbauer spectro­ scopy can provide inlportant and often unique infornlation.

Quantum phase transitions and thermodynamics of quantum antiferromagnets with competing interactions

We study the isotropic Heisenberg chain with nearest and next-nearest neighbour interactions. The ground state phase diagram is constructed in dependence on the additonal interactions and an external magnetic field. The thermodynamics is studied by use of finite sets of non-linear integral equations resulting from integrabiliy. The equations are solved numerically and analytically in suitable l...

Heisenberg antiferromagnets with exchange and cubic anisotropies

We study classical Heisenberg antiferromagnets with uniaxial exchange anisotropy and a cubic anisotropy term on simple cubic lattices in an external magnetic field using ground state considerations and extensive Monte Carlo simulations. In addition to the antiferromagnetic phase field–induced spin–flop and non–collinear, biconical phases may occur. Phase diagrams and critical as well as multicr...

Diluted antiferromagnets in a magnetic field: evidence for a spin glass phase

We have performed Monte Carlo simulations on diluted Ising antiferromagnets in the limit of high external magnetic fields B and strong dilution. The two relevant lines in the B T plane of the phase diagram, Bc(T) above which antiferromagnetic long range order is no longer stable and BCq(T) which marks the onset of hysteretic effects are determined. The random exchange-random field crossover exp...

Quantum phase transitions of antiferromagnets and the cuprate superconductors

I begin with a proposed global phase diagram of the cuprate superconductors as a function of carrier concentration, magnetic field, and temperature, and highlight its connection to numerous recent experiments. The phase diagram is then used as a point of departure for a pedagogical review of various quantum phases and phase transitions of insulators, superconductors, and metals. The bond operat...

On the relaxation dynamics of diluted antiferromagnets

The phase diagram of a diluted Ising antiferromagnet in an external magnetic field has a disordered phase for sufficiently large values of this field and for low temperatures, in which the system's equilibrium state is a domain state. We study the relaxation dynamics out of this state after switching off the magnetic field, for twoand three-dimensional diluted antiferromagnets using Monte Carlo...
