Classical and quantum anisotropic Heisenberg antiferromagnets
Classical and quantum anisotropic Heisenberg antiferromagnets
We study classical and quantum Heisenberg antiferromagnets with exchange anisotropy of XXZ-type and crystal field single-ion terms of quadratic and quartic form in a field.The magnets display a variety of phases, including the spin-flop (or, in the quantum case, spin-liquid) and biconical (corresponding, in the quantum lattice gas description, to …
