The anisotropic distribution of defect-induced random local field directions in the n-dimensional space of vector order parameter with the O(n) symmetry is shown to give rise to the defect-induced effective anisotropy in the system. The expression for the effective anisotropy constant is found. A weak anisotropy of the \"easy axis\" type transforms the X-Y model and the Heisenberg model to the class of Ising models, and brings into existence the long-range order in the system.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2016-03-11T16:34:52.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "long-range order", "effective anisotropy", "defect-induced random local field directions", "vector order parameter", "anisotropy constant" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 9, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2016arXiv160303687B" } } }
