Spin-wave theory of critical dynamics in one- and two-dimensional Heisenberg models: Failure of the dynamic-scaling hypothesis and the mode-coupling theory

Journal Article · · Phys. Rev., B: Condens. Matter; (United States)
The usual spin-wave theory, when applied to the calculation of rotationally invariant averages in the Heisenberg model, permits exact calculation of static and dynamical correlation functions in one dimension. The results are also believed to be exact in two dimensions, although this has not been shown rigorously here. The one-dimensional ferromagnet in the hydrodynamic regime and the two-dimensional ferromagnet at all wave vectors do not satisfy the dynamical scaling hypothesis. There is no characteristic exponent in these cases. The present results contradict the prediction of the mode-coupling theory.
