Magnetic Phase Transitions in Low-Dimensional Systems

  • Chapter
Book cover Organic and Inorganic Low-Dimensional Crystalline Materials

Part of the book series: NATO ASI Series ((NSSB,volume 168))

Abstract

Phase transitions are of current interest in many areas of condensed matter physics. They occur in many systems, among them we can mention liquid-gas transition, superfluidity, binary alloys (such as β-brass), structural phase transitions and magnetic phase transitions (MPT). The MPT are especially interesting because of the wide variety of available magnetic compounds with different lattices, spins and interactions. The simplest case of an MPT is the ferromagnetic transition which is usually of second order and only occurs in zero magnetic field. The case of two sublattices antiferromagnets is richer since they undergo phase transitions in a certain range of applied magnetic fields, which can be of first order (metamagnetism; spin-flop phases). Besides these simple ferromagnets and antiferromagnets (F and AF), other magnetic compounds which exhibit a more complex class of phase transitions are found such as: systems with a non magnetic ground state induced either by zero field splitting, or in the case of magnetic chains, by alternating AF interactions; magnetic chains with a large magnetoelastic coupling inducing a spin-Peierls transition; frustrated antiferromagnets with more than two sublattices or with incommensurate magnetic ordering.
