Abstract
An approximation is presented to analyze the evolution of magnetizatio n with temperature in Heisenberg systems. This approach is based on th e decoupling of spin-wave and spin-flip thermal contributions, in anal ogy with phonon and point-defect decoupling in crystals. Results for b idimensional and tri-dimensional classical Heisenberg model (with and without anisotropy) as well as quasi-two-dimensional quantum antiferro magnetic systems are discussed, showing, in general, excellent agreeme nt with recent experimental data and Monte Carlo simulations.
