We particulary study the role of the dipole-dipole interaction within the framework of a Heisenberg model with nearest-neighbor exchange and additional dipolar interaction. We find several commensurate and incommensurate phases depending on the ratio of dipolar energy to interchain-exchange energy due to their competing qualtity. The ground-state analysis is supplemented by a stability analysis by means of a linear spin-wave theory. In comparison with experiments (CsMnBr_3, RbMnBr_3) we obtain good agreement for the energy gaps. From this we conclude, that the dipolar interaction is the most important source of anisotropy in these Mn-compounds.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "1998-10-30T13:15:14.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "75.10.Jm", "75.30.Ds", "75.40.-s", "75.30.Kz", "75.30.Et", "75.30.Gw" ], "keywords": [ "quasi-one-dimensional dipolar antiferromagnets", "phase diagram", "weak antiferromagnetic exchange interaction", "linear spin-wave theory", "additional dipolar interaction" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "publication": { "journal": "Journal of Applied Physics", "year": 1999, "month": "Apr", "volume": 85, "number": 8, "pages": 5088 }, "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 3, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "1999JAP....85.5088H" } } }
