Abstract

A modified spin-wave theory is developed and applied to low-dimensional quantum magnets. Double-peaked specific heat for one-dimensional ferrimagnets, nuclear spin-lattice relaxation in ferrimagnetic chains and clusters, and thermal behavior of Haldane-gap antiferromagnets are described within the scheme. Mentioning other bosonic and fermionic representations as well, we demonstrate that spin waves are still effective in low dimensions.
