Magnetic susceptibility of the body-centred orthorhombic La2CuO4 system
Abstract
A model Hamiltonian representing the Cu spins in La2CuO4 in its low-temperature body-centred orthorhombic phase, that includes both spin-orbit generated Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interactions and interplanar exchange, is examined within the RPA utilizing a Tyablikov decoupling of various high-order Green's functions. The magnetic susceptibility is evaluated as a function of temperature and the parameters quantifying these interactions, and compared to recently obtained experimental data of Lavrov, Ando and collaborators. An effective Hamiltonian corresponding to a simple tetragonal structure is shown to reproduce both the magnon spectra and the susceptibility of the more complicated body-centred orthorhombic model.
