Notes:
New results of a variant of the numerically exact quantum transfer matrix method have been compared with experimental data on the static properties of [C6H11NH3]CuBr3(CHAB), a ferromagnetic system with about 5% easy-plane anisotropy. Above T=3.5 K, the available data on the zero-field heat capacity, the excess heat capacity ΔC=C(B)−C(B=0), and the magnetization are described with an accuracy comparable to the experimental error. Calculations of the spin-spin correlation functions reveal that the good description of the experimental correlation length in CHAB by a classical spin model is largely accidental. The zero-field susceptibility, which can be deduced from these correlation functions, is in fair agreement with the reported experimental data between 4 and 100 K. The method also seems to yield accurate results for the chlorine isomorph, CHAC, a system with about 2% uniaxial anisotropy.
