In a spherically symmetric self-consistent approach (SSSA), the spin-1/2 J{sub 1}–J{sub 2} Heisenberg model on a two-dimensional square lattice is considered for two-time retarded spin–spin Green’s functions. The spin excitation spectrum, ω(q), and spin gaps at symmetric points are obtained for the entire J{sub 1}–J{sub 2} diagram, i.e., for any ϕ, J{sub 1} = cosϕ, and J{sub 2} = sinϕ. The structure factor c{sub q} and the correlation length ξ at finite temperature are calculated in the entire range of parameters. A radical difference in the behavior of the system in the upper, frustrated (0 ⩽ ϕ ⩽ π), and the lower, nonfrustrated (π ⩽ ϕ ⩽ 2π), regions of the diagram is demonstrated. In the latter region, there is a first-order phase transition that is unique on the phase diagram. For a weakly frustrated antiferromagnet (J{sub 1} > J{sub 2} > 0), the results obtained are compared with the experimental dependence of ξ on temperature and doping level. A correspondence rule is proposed between frustration in a spin model and the doping of an antiferromagnet with holes.
