Criticality of the D=2 anisotropic quantum Heisenberg model

Description

Within a real space renormalization group framework, the square-lattice spin-1/2 Heisenberg ferromagnet in the presence of an Ising-like anisotropy is discussed. The controversial point on how T sub(c) vanishes in the isotropic Heisenberg limit is analyzed: quite strong evidence is presented favoring a continuous function of anisotropy. The crossover from the isotropic Heisenberg model to the pure Ising one is exhibited. (Author)

Abstract (Portuguese)

Discute-se, dentro de uma base do grupo de renormalizacao do espaco real, o ferromagneto de Heisenberg de spin-1/2 de rede quadrada na presenca de uma anisotropia do tipo Ising. Analisa-se o ponto de controversia sobre como T sub(c) anula-se no limite de Heisenberg isotropico: apresenta-se forte evidencia favorecendo uma funcao continua de anisotropia. Exibe-se o 'crossover' do modelo de Heisenberg isotropico para o modelo de Ising puro. (L.C.)
