This Hamiltonian has the same form as the Hamiltonian within the Ising model for ferromagnets. Earlier we denoted σjz = x (order parame-

ter). For every j these mean values σjz are identical due to the fact

that in ferromagnetic alignment all magnetic moments have the same direction. For antiferromagnets it will be different. For two neighboring

magnetic moments energy is equal to J σiz σjz , and it has the minimal

value if σiz σjz = −1, i.e.,

σiz

and σjz

words neighboring magnetic moments have different directions ( ↑↓). This applies for any pair of neighboring magnetic moments. What are our expectations? For one-dimensional case it will be like this:

So, some atoms have σiz > 0 and other atoms have σiz < 0 , thus

we can not consider siz = x = const for i. Let us divide out system

(the whole lattice) to two sublattices A and B with alternating arrangement of the nodes (see Fig. 28.2).

Such sublattices are called embedded sublattices. Since we consider that Jij = J 0 only for the neighboring magnetic moments, such divi-

sion on two sublattices suggest that magnetic moments of one sublattice do not interact with each other.

Fig. 28.2. Sublattices A and B with alternating arrangement of the nodes

Let us write the Hamiltonian considering the division on embedded sublattices. If the i-th magnetic moment refers to A-sublattice, we shall

denote it as iA . Analogously, if the i-th magnetic moment refers to B-

sublattice, we shall denote it as iB . We shall write σiA and σiB for pro-

jection operators of these magnetic moments for A- and B-sublattices, respectively. For example, the sum throughout the whole lattice consists of two sums for each sublattice

where JiA jB = J for neighboring magnetic moments and z is the number of the nearest neighbors. Here we denote σjB z = xB : it is the mean value of magnetic moment projection in B-sublattice. We consider that

σjB z does not depend on the magnetic moment position in B-

sublattice, since all these moments are located in the same environment of magnetic moment from A-sublattice. Analogously

where σjA z = xA is the mean value of magnetic moment projection in

This equation has the same form as for a ferromagnet, but instead of Curie temperature θ one can see another temperature TN . The solution

is already known (see Fig. 28.3).

At T =TN the phase transition is take place, and order parameter be-

comes nonzero. All formulae that we obtained for ferromagnets (see § 14) are valid by replacing the Curie temperature θ on the TN

The value TN is called the Neél temperature or transition temperature into antiferromagnetic state.

Fig. 28.3. Parameter order dependence on temperature for antiferromagnets

Since xB = −x , at T =TN the spontaneous magnetization occurs in

every sublattice, but atomic magnetic moments in these sublattices are oppositely directed. Total magnetic moments of A- and B-sublattices are equal in magnitude and opposite in direction. That is why the total magnetization is equal to zero
