Nonclassical effects and off-diagonal couplings in a model for FeBr2
arXiv:cond-mat/9812058 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevB.59.8395
Abstract
Using Monte Carlo techniques, we show that the recently experimentally observed transitionlike phenomena in the transverse spin-ordering close to the anomalies in the antiferromagnetic phase of FeBr2 (Petracic et al. [Phys. Rev. B 57, R11051 (1998)]) may result from the quantum nature of the S=1 spins and an off-diagonal exchange between axial and planar spin components.
