Abstract

Using Hartree-Fock-Bogoliubov (HFB) approach we obtained analytical expressions for thermodynamic quantities of the system of triplons in spin gapped quantum magnets such as magnetization, heat capacity and the magnetic Gr{\"u}neisen parameter ΓH\Gamma_H. Near the critical temperature, ΓH\Gamma_H is discontinuous and changes its sign upon the Bose-Einstein condensation (BEC) of triplons. On the other hand, in the widely used Hartree-Fock-Popov (HFP) approach there is no discontinuity neither in the heat capacity nor in the Gr{\"u}neisen parameter. We predict that in the low-temperature limit and near the critical magnetic field HcH_c, ΓH\Gamma_H diverges as ΓH1/T2\Gamma_H\sim 1/T^{2}, while it scales as ΓH1/(HHc)\Gamma_H\sim 1/(H-H_c) as the magnetic field approaches the quantum critical point at HcH_c.
