Description

The results of a Monte-Carlo calculation using self-consistent phonons indicates that a significant four-spin term must be added to the Heisenberg exchange Hamiltonian. The predictions of the mean-field approximation are sketched in which the exchange Hamiltonian reduces to a Heisenberg nearest-neighbour Hamiltonian with a temperature-dependent exchange frequency J(T) depending on a thermal average of the scalar product of the nearest-neighbour spins.
