Generalized Molecular Fields

Abstract: The formal structure of the Weiss molecular-field approximation is analyzed and used to construct a formally exact treatment of the partition function which generalizes the notion of molecular field to include many-particle interactions and which yields exact moments by solution of generalized molecular field equations. Approximations yield a sequence of molecular fields used to construct a sequence of approximations to the moments. Calculations to second order are made to several spin systems, and application… Show more

“…These depend on the alloy component and total densities of states, the phonon Green function, and the parameters of the model. To summarize, various schemes of "effective mean-field theory" taking into account correlations were proposed [35,36,37,96,97,98,99,100,101,102,103,104,105,106]. The main efforts were directed to the aim to describe suitably the collective behavior of particles in terms of effectivefield distribution which satisfies a self-consistent condition.…”

“…One can use this solution to get a better approximation than the mean field theory. There are some other methods of improvement of the molecular field theory [72], [73]. Unfortunately, these approaches are nonsystematic.…”

“…Moreover, the superconductor is a system in which the interaction between electrons qualitatively changes the spectrum of excitations. However, quasiparticles are still of use even in this case, due to the correct redefinition of the relevant generalized mean field which includes the anomalous averages (see (72)). In a strongly interacted system on a lattice with complex spectra, the concept of a quasi-particle needs a suitable adaptation and a careful examination.…”
