Module kramer - a Kramers Ground State Doublet Single Ion Module

The crystal field ground state of a magnetic ion often can be approximated by a doublet. In this description the crystal field anisotropy enters by defining the saturation moment of this doublet in $a$,$b$ and $c$ direction: denoting the two states of the doublet by $\vert\pm>$ the non vanishing matrix elements of the angular momentum operator can be abbreviated by


$\displaystyle <\pm\vert{\hat \mathbf J}_a\vert\mp>=A$ $\textstyle A^{\star}=A$ $\displaystyle A\mbox{... saturation moment in $a$\ direction}$  
$\displaystyle <\pm\vert{\hat \mathbf J}_b\vert\pm>=\pm B$ $\textstyle B^{\star}=B$ $\displaystyle B\mbox{... saturation moment in $b$\ direction}$ (136)
$\displaystyle <\pm\vert{\hat \mathbf J}_c\vert\mp>=C$ $\textstyle C^{\star}=-C$ $\displaystyle C\mbox{... saturation moment in $c$\ direction}$  

then the single ion Hamiltonian $H=H_{cf}- g_J \mu_b {\mathbf H}{\mathbf J}$ can be written as


\begin{displaymath}
\hat H=g_J \mu_B
\left (
\begin{array}{cc}
B H_b & -A ...
...pha & \beta\\
\beta^{\star} & -\alpha
\end{array}
\right)
\end{displaymath} (137)

This Hamilton may be diagonalised yielding the 2 eigenvalues $\lambda_{\pm}$, $\Delta=\lambda_+ - \lambda_-$:


\begin{displaymath}
\lambda_{\pm}=\pm \sqrt{\alpha^2+\beta^{\star}\beta}
\end{displaymath} (138)

and the eigenvectors


\begin{displaymath}
\vert\lambda_{\pm}>=\frac{-\beta\vert+>+(\alpha-\lambda_{\p...
...
{\sqrt{\vert\alpha-\lambda_{\pm}\vert^2+\beta^{\star}\beta}}
\end{displaymath} (139)

using Boltzmann statistics ( $Z=\exp(-\Delta/2kT)+\exp(\Delta/2kT)$) the expectation values of the magnetic moment can be calculated as


\begin{displaymath}
<{\hat \mathbf M}>=\sum_{\pm}<\lambda_{\pm}\vert g_J{\hat \mathbf J}\vert\lambda_{\pm}>
\frac{\exp(-\lambda_{\pm}/kT)}{Z}
\end{displaymath} (140)

with


\begin{displaymath}
<\lambda_{\pm}\vert\hat J_a\vert\lambda_{\pm}>=
\frac{-2A ...
...pm})]}
{\vert\alpha-\lambda_{\pm}\vert^2+\beta^{\star}\beta}
\end{displaymath} (141)


\begin{displaymath}
<\lambda_{\pm}\vert\hat J_b\vert\lambda_{\pm}>=
\frac{-B \...
...ert^2}
{\vert\alpha-\lambda_{\pm}\vert^2+\beta^{\star}\beta}
\end{displaymath} (142)


\begin{displaymath}
<\lambda_{\pm}\vert\hat J_c\vert\lambda_{\pm}>=
\frac{2 \R...
...\pm})}
{\vert\alpha-\lambda_{\pm}\vert^2+\beta^{\star}\beta}
\end{displaymath} (143)

The magnetic energy $U$ can be calculated


\begin{displaymath}
U=\sum_{\pm}\lambda_{\pm}\frac{\exp(-\lambda_{\pm}/kT)}{Z}
\end{displaymath} (144)

For the calculation of the magnetic excitations the program mcdisp needs also a function which calculates the transition matrix elements


\begin{displaymath}
M_{\alpha\beta}=<\lambda_-\vert\hat J_{\alpha}\vert\lambda_...
...\lambda_+\vert\hat J_{\beta}\vert\lambda_-> \tanh(\Delta/2kT)
\end{displaymath} (145)

using the expressions


\begin{displaymath}
<\lambda_-\vert\hat J_a\vert\lambda_+>=
\frac{-2A (\alpha\...
...\beta)
(\vert\alpha-\lambda_{-}\vert^2+\beta^{\star}\beta)}}
\end{displaymath} (146)


\begin{displaymath}
<\lambda_-\vert\hat J_b\vert\lambda_+>=
\frac{-2B \beta^{\...
...\beta)
(\vert\alpha-\lambda_{-}\vert^2+\beta^{\star}\beta)}}
\end{displaymath} (147)


\begin{displaymath}
<\lambda_-\vert\hat J_c\vert\lambda_+>=
\frac{2\vert C\ver...
...\beta)
(\vert\alpha-\lambda_{-}\vert^2+\beta^{\star}\beta)}}
\end{displaymath} (148)

The module given in /examples/cecu2a/kramer.c can be compiled by typing make in the directory /examples/cecu2a/ thus using the /examples/cecu2a/makefile. It diagonalises the Hamiltonian (166) and calculates the thermal expectation value $<>_T$ of the vector $\mathbf J$. The moment ${\mathbf M}=g_J \mu_B <{\mathbf J}>_T$ is returned to the mcphas program:
