Ep. Raposo et Md. Coutinhofilho, SPIN-WAVES AND THE STRONG-COUPLING LIMIT IN POLYMERIC HUBBARD CHAINS, Modern physics letters B, 9(13), 1995, pp. 817-822
We derive the strong-coupling limit of the Hubbard Hamiltonian in a cl
ass of polymeric chains displaying a ferrimagnetic structure. The deri
ved Heisenberg Hamiltonian is used to calculate the spin-wave spectrum
of the system. It is shown that there is a critical value for an exte
rnal applied magnetic field above which the ferrimagnetic ordering bec
omes unstable.
