Abstract

Ordering transitions in the Heisenberg ferromagnetic chains are studied using the Handscomb quantum Monte-Carlo method. The spin-coupling parameter depends as r-p on the distance r between spins. The spin correlation function, susceptibility and long-range order are investigated. The transition is found to exist when p < 2 in agreement with previous predictions. Temperatures of the transition and critical exponents are estimated. No indications of the transition are found when p ≥ 2. In the case of p = 2 (the Haldane-Shastry model) the Monte-Carlo results agree with known exact formulae.
