Absence of Spontaneous Spin Symmetry Breaking in 1D and 2D Quantum Ferromagnetic Systems with Bilinear and Biquadratic Exchange Interactions

Some<b> </b>measurements have shown that the second-order exchange interaction is non-negligible in ferromagnetic compounds whose microscopic interactions are described by means of half-odd integer quantum spins. In these spin systems the ground state is either ferromagnetic or antiferro...
