    This document discusses Heisenberg magnets and magnon operators. It introduces boson commutation relations for magnon creation and annihilation operators bk and bk'. It then expresses the spin operators Sj', Si, and Sz j in terms of magnon operators, assuming low temperature and small relative spin deviation from the ground state. Finally, it rewrites the spin commutation relations by expanding square roots and expressing them in terms of magnon creation and annihilation operators.

    6 Heisenberg Magnets

    These also satisfy the boson commutation relations

    [bk, bk’]- = [ b i , = 0. (6.16)

    b: creates ( b k annihilates) a magnon with wavevector k.


    We wish to express Sj’, S i , and SZ
    j with the magnon operators. Let
    us assume that the temperature is sufficiently low so that only a few
    magnons are excited, and the relative spin deviation from the ground
    state saturation value is small

    (a!,.) (h.)
    J J=---?-<<I. (6.17)
    S S
    This permits us to expand the square roots in (6.10)

    and similarly

    (6.12) is rewritten as
