摘要
In this paper we study the low temperature behavior of the quantum S=1 Heisenberg antiferromagnet with exchange and single-site anisotropies on the square lattice. The properties of the model change drastically as the single-site anisotropy D varies from very small to very large values. A quantum phase transition takes place at a critical value D=D-C. We study the low D phase using a self-consistent harmonic approximation and a schematic phase diagram is proposed. (C) 2011 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
