We obtain the dependence of $k_B T_c/J_d$ as a function of frustration parameter $\\delta$, where $T_c$ is the ferromagnetic (F) transition temperature and $\\delta$ is the ratio between the strengths of the exchange and dipolar interaction (i.e., $\\delta = J/J_d$). The transition temperature between the F and paramagnetic phases decreases with $\\delta$, as expected, but goes to zero at a finite value of this parameter, namely $\\delta = \\delta_c = \\pi /8$. At T=0 (quantum phase transition), we analyze the critical parameter $\\delta_c(p)$ for the general case of an exchange interaction in the form $J_{ij}=J_d/r_{ij}^{p}$, where ferromagnetic and antiferromagnetic phases are present.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2005-11-24T14:53:41.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "heisenberg model", "two-dimensional quantum", "competing interactions", "transition temperature", "double-time greens function" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "publication": { "publisher": "APS", "journal": "Phys.
