Teoria de funções de Green para uma impureza isolada localizada intersticialmente em sistemas ferromagnéticos

Abstract

A Green’s function formalism is used to calculate the expectrum of excitations associated with an interstitial magnetic impurity in different ferromagnetic structures described by the Ising and Heisenberg models. In the chapter 3 the non-resonant excitations of the system due to impurity (i.e, the defect modes outside the region of the bulk and surface spin waves) and the resonant excitations (the defect modes inside the region of the bulk and surface spin waves) are calculated numerically for the high-temperature phase. Two situations are analysed, depending on the position of the impurity: the impurity is on the surface (N = 1) and the impurity is in the bulk region (N ≥ 2). In the others chapters we use the model Ising/Heisenberg (where we can go from Heisenberg model to Ising model, by controlling the value of a parameter λ) to describe the following systems: ferromagnet with an infinite square lattice (Chap. 4), ferromagnet with an infinite face-centered square lattice (Chap. 5), ferromagnet with an infinite body-centered cubic lattice (Chap. 6) and ferromagnet with an infinite honey-comb lattice (Chap. 7), all the systems with a magnetic interstitial impurity. For the first tree cases, only the optical defect modes are calculated, and for the last one, only the acoustic modes are calculated.
