Abstract

We study the low-temperature behavior of antiferromagnets in two spatial dimensions that are subjected to a magnetic field oriented perpendicular to the staggered magnetization order parameter. The evaluation of the partition function is carried to two-loop order within the systematic effective Lagrangian technique. Low-temperature series that are valid in weak magnetic and staggered fields are derived for the pressure, staggered magnetization, and magnetization. Remarkably, at TT=0, the staggered magnetization is enhanced by the magnetic field, implying that the phenomenon of magnetic catalysis also emerges in antiferromagnetic films.
