TY - JOUR TI - Absence of Ferromagnetism or Antiferromagnetism in One- or Two-Dimensional Isotropic Heisenberg Models AU - N. David Mermin AU - Hermann‐Josef Wagner PY - 1966 JO - Physical Review Letters DO - 10.1103/physrevlett.17.1133 UR - https://doi.org/10.1103/physrevlett.17.1133 AB - It is rigorously proved that at any nonzero temperature, a one- or two-dimensional isotropic spin-$S$ Heisenberg model with finite-range exchange interaction can be neither ferromagnetic nor antiferromagnetic. The method of proof is capable of excluding a variety of types of ordering in one and two dimensions. ER -
