Description

An isolated impurity bond of coupling-K replacing a link J in the spin-1/2 Heisenberg antiferromagnet on a square lattice is considered. A simple perturbative approximation scheme is deviced, in which the two-site cluster formed by the spins linked by the impurity bond is embedded into the linearized spin wave approximation for the antiferromagnet. The resolvent for the local states of the cluster is calculated in three successive levels of approximation. The ground state wave function, the magnetization at the impurity link, and the transverse correlation across the impurity link as a function of the coupling K are discussed
