Ferromagnetic phases in spin-Fermion systems

Abstract

Spin-Fermion systems which obtain their magnetic properties from a system of localized magnetic moments being coupled to conducting electrons are considered. The dynamical degrees of freedom are spin-ss operators of localized spins and spin-1/2 Fermi operators of itinerant electrons. Renormalized spin-wave theory, which accounts for the magnon-magnon interaction, and its extension are developed to describe the two ferrimagnetic phases in the system: low temperature phase 0<T<T0<T<T^{*}, where all electrons contribute the ordered ferromagnetic moment, and high temperature phase T<T<TCT^{*}<T<T_C, where only localized spins form magnetic moment. The magnetization as a function of temperature is calculated. The theoretical predictions are utilize to interpret the experimentally measured magnetization-temperature curves of UGe2UGe_2..
