Abstract

Renormalization of the spin-wave spectrum is discussed in a cubic ferromagnet with dipolar forces at TCT0T_C\gg T\ge0. First 1/S-corrections are considered in detail to the bare spectrum ϵk=Dk2(Dk2+Sω0sin2θk)\epsilon_{\bf k} = \sqrt{Dk^2 (Dk^2 + S\omega_0\sin^2\theta_{\bf k})}, where DD is the spin-wave stiffness, θk\theta_{\bf k} is the angle between k\bf k and the magnetization and ω0\omega_0 is the characteristic dipolar energy. In accordance with previous results we obtain the thermal renormalization of constants DD and ω0\omega_0 in the expression for the bare spectrum. Besides, a number of previously unknown features are revealed. We observe terms which depend on azimuthal angle of the momentum k\bf k. It is obtained an isotropic term proportional to kk which makes the spectrum linear rather than quadratic when sinθk=0\sin\theta_{\bf k}=0 and kω0/Dk \ll \omega_0/D. In particular a spin-wave gap proportional to sinθk\sin\theta_{\bf k} is observed. Essentially, thermal contribution from the Hartree-Fock diagram to the isotropic correction as well as to the spin-wave gap are proportional to the demagnetizing factor in the direction of domain magnetization. This nontrivial behavior is attributed to the long-range nature of the dipolar interaction. It is shown that the gap screens infrared singularities of the first 1/S-corrections to the spin-wave stiffness and longitudinal dynamical spin susceptibility (LDSS) obtained before. We demonstrate that higher order 1/S-corrections to these quantities are small at Tω0T\ll\omega_0. However the analysis of the entire perturbation series is still required to derive the spectrum and LDSS when Tω0T\gg\omega_0.
