摘要
The ground-state and low-energy properties of the two-dimensional J(1)-J(2) Heisenberg model in the collinear phase are investigated using finite-size spin-wave theory [Q. F. Zhong and S. Sorella, Europhys. Lett. 21, 629 (1993)], and Lanczos exact diagonalizations. For spin one-half-where the effects of quantization are the strongest-the spin-wave expansion turns out to be quantitatively accurate for J(2)/J(1) greater than or similar to 0.8. In this regime, both the magnetic structure factor and the spin susceptibility are very close to the spin-wave predictions. The spin-wave estimate of the order parameter in the collinear phase, m(dagger) similar or equal to 0.3, is in remarkable agreement with recent neutron scattering measurements on Li2VOSiO4.
