Classical and quantum Heisenberg model

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion centers on the quantum Heisenberg model, specifically the Hamiltonian defined as \(\hat{H}=-J\sum_{\vec{n},\vec{m}}\hat{\vec{S}}_{\vec{n}}\cdot \hat{\vec{S}}_{\vec{m}}\). It establishes that the coupling constant \(J\) can be derived from dispersion experiments. For large spin values, such as \(S=\frac{7}{2}\) with \(J=10\), the classical Heisenberg model effectively describes the Curie temperature. The inquiry also addresses the appropriate value of \(J\) to use in Monte Carlo simulations for the classical Heisenberg model when \(S\) approaches infinity.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of quantum mechanics and spin systems

In quantum Heisenberg model
\hat{H}=-J\sum_{\vec{n},\vec{m}}\hat{\vec{S}}_{\vec{n}}\cdot \hat{\vec{S}}_{\vec{m}}
##J## can be obtained from dispersion experiment. For large spin ##S## even classical Heisenberg model is good for description of Curie temperature for example. Is that with the same ##J## which is obtained from dispersion law? Thanks for the answer! Maybe you know some reference.

For example you have spin ##S=\frac{7}{2}## and for example ##J=10## quantum Heisenberg model. And you have Monte Carlo simulation code for classical Heisenberg ##S=\infty##. What should you use for ##J## in classical Heisenberg model Monte Carlo code?
