Lecture 22: Antiferromagnets

Solid State Physics by Prof. Carlson

Apr 11, 2006Education

We finish off the low temperature corrections to the magnetization in a ferromagnet due to spin wave excitations, and also calculate the energy and heat capacity of spin waves. Now, on to antiferromagnets, where neighbor...
