The free energy of anisotropic quantum spin systems: Functional integral representation (1601.05057v2)
Published 19 Jan 2016 in cond-mat.str-el
Abstract: In this work, we propose a method for calculating the free energy of anisotropic quantum spin systems. We use the Hubbard-Stratonovich transformation to express the partition function of a generic bilinear super-exchange Hamiltonian in terms of a functional integral over classical time-dependent fields. In the general case the result is presented as an infinite series. The series may be summed up in the case of Ising-type models. For any ordered state we derive a compact expression for the contribution of Gaussian spin fluctuations to the free energy.
