Towards the theory of ferrimagnetism II
Abstract
The present paper is a sequel to the paper by Karchev (2008 J.Phys.:Condens.Matter {\bf 20} 325219). A two-sublattice ferrimagnet, with spin- operators at the sublattice site and spin- operators at the sublattice site, is considered. Renormalized spin-wave theory, which accounts for the magnon-magnon interaction, and its extension are developed to describe the two ferrimagnetic phases and in the system, and to calculate the magnetization as a function of temperature. The influence of the parameters in the theory on the characteristic temperatures and is studied. It is shown that, increasing the inter-sublattice exchange interaction, the ratio decreases approaching one, and above some critical value of the exchange constant there is only one phase , and the magnetization-temperature curve has the typical Curie-Weiss profile. When the intra-exchange constant of sublattice with stronger intra-exchange interaction increases the temperature increases while remains unchanged. Finally, when the magnetic order of the sublattice with smaller magnetic order decreases, decreases. The theoretical predictions are utilize to interpret the experimentally measured magnetization-temperature curves.
