Description

We study the Ising and Heisenberg models on one-dimensional ferrimagnetic bipartite chains with the special AB2 unit-cell topology and experimental motivation in inorganic and organic magnetic polymers. The spin-1/2 AB2 Ising case is exactly solved in the presence of an external magnetic field. We also derive asymptotical low- and high-temperature limits of several thermodynamical quantities of the zero-field classical AB2 Heisenberg model. Further, the quantum spin-1/2 AB2 Heisenberg model in a field is studied using a mean-field approach
