Abstract

We investigate the thermodynamic behavior of antiferromagnetic films in external magnetic fields oriented perpendicular to the staggered magnetization. Within the systematic effective Lagrangian framework we first calculate the two-point function and the dispersion relation for the two types of magnons up to one-loop order. This allows us to split the two-loop free energy density into a piece that originates from noninteracting dressed magnons, and a second piece that corresponds to the genuine magnon-magnon interaction. We then discuss the low-temperature series for various thermodynamic quantities, including the parallel staggered and uniform perpendicular susceptibilities, and analyze the role of the spin-wave interaction at finite temperature.
