On the spin wave approximation in the theory of magnetically ordered crystals

The question of the self-consistency of spin wave theory as applied to different spin arrangements in magnetically ordered crystals has been reinvestigated. A set of equations, involving the probabilities of finding a given number of spin deviations at a given site first proposed by Van Kranendonk a...
