Soliton excitations in a one-dimensional Heisenberg ferromagnet are studied by means of the Holstein-Primakoff representation. Writing the Hamiltonian and the equation of motion into dimensionless forms, the authors show that the relative ratio of epsilon to eta is important for the determination of the modified terms of the nonlinear Schrodinger equation; epsilon =1/ square root S (S is the spin length) is the small dimensionless parameter used in the semiclassical approximation and eta =a/ lambda 0 (a is the lattice space and lambda 0 is the characteristic wavelength of the excitations) is another small dimensionless parameter used in the long-wave approximation. The soliton solutions are given in three cases ( eta =O( epsilon ), eta =O( epsilon 32/) and eta =O( epsilon 2)) which correspond to the different physical conditions of the system. The results obtained by Pushkarov and Pushkarov (1977), de Azevedo et al. (1982), and Skrinjar et al. (1989) are included in this approach.
In this paper the susceptibility of a Kondo system in a fairly wide temperature region is calculated in the first-harmonic approximation in a functional integral approach. The comparison with the value obtained by renormalization group theory show that in this region the two results agree quite well. The expansion of the partition function with infinite independent harmonics for the Anderson model is studied. Some symmetry relations are generalized. It is a challenging problem to develop a functional integral approach including diagram analysis, mixed-mode effects and some exact relations in the Anderson system proved in a functional integral approach. These topia will be discussed in a subsequent paper.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
