摘要
Model calculations of the spontaneous magnetization of ferromagnetic clusters of various structures and sizes have been performed. The exchange interaction is modelled with the Heisenberg model, and a self-consistent spin-wave-spectrum is found by direct diagonalization of the equation of motion of S+. Mean-field calculations are performed for comparison and in order to infer high-temperature behaviour. The finite size is found to cause large deviation from the normal Bloch T3/2-law for the spontaneous magnetization at low temperatures and to lower the Curie temperature.
