Orientational phase transitions in anisotropic rare-earth magnets at low temperatures

Condensed Matter 2011-07-22 v1

Abstract

Orientational phase transitions are investigated within the Heisenberg model with single-site anisotropy. The temperature dependence of the cone angle is calculated within the spin-wave theory. The role of the quantum renormalizations of anisotropy constants is discussed. A comparison with the experimental data on the cone-plane orientational transition in holmium is performed.
