Introduction The one-dimensional spin-1/2 Ising model with first-neighbor interaction, in the presence of a lon- gitudinal magnetic field, was exactly solved in 1925 [1]. The Helmholtz free energy (HFE) of this model with S = 1/2 has a simple mathematical expression [2]. The exact expression of the HFE for the S = 1 ferromagnetic model in the presence of a longitudinal magnetic field was derived in 1976 by Krinsky and Furman [3] using the matrix density approach. (This work seems to have been neglected by the subse- quent literature, though). More recently, the HFE of the S = 1 [4, 5] and S = 3/2 [6] of the Ising model in the presence of an external magnetic field have been written as a set of coupled equations and solved numerically. In 2007 Rojas et al. [7] published the high-temperature expansion of the HFE of the Ising model for arbitrary value S of the spin, in the absence of a magnetic field, up to order β40. The nice feature of such expansion is that the value S of the spin is an arbitrary parameter (S = 1/2, 1, 3/2, . . .). The absence of an external magnetic field in the model discussed in [7] yields no distinction in the behavior of some thermodynamical functions between the ferromagnetic and the anti-ferromagnetic (AF) case, e.g. the specific heat per site. An active area of molecular chemistry is that of designing newmagnetic materials that present a one- dimensional nanomagnetic behaviour with a strong anisotropy axis [8]. Some molecular single-chain magnets (SCMs) exhibit a strong uniaxial (Ising) anisotropy. Kishine et al. [9] applied the Blume-Capel model [10, 11] (the one-dimensional Ising model with the single-ion anisotropy term) with S = 3 in the presence of a longitudinal magnetic field to analyze the low-energy dynamics response of the SCM ∗E-mail: mtt@if.uff.br ©M.T. Thomaz, O. Rojas, 2012 13706-1 http://dx.doi.org/10.5488/CMP.15.13706 http://www.icmp.lviv.ua/journal M.T. Thomaz, O. Rojas [Mn(saltmen)]2[Ni(pac)2(py)2](PF6)2 for temperature T . 40 K. They concluded that the experimental data support the view that this SCM can be described, in this window of temperature, by the spin-3 of this model. We apply the method of cumulants described in [12] to calculate the high-temperature expansion of the HFE of any one-dimensional Hamiltonian which is invariant under space translation and satisfies the periodic space condition. In this approach, in order to obtain the exact coefficient that multiplies the term of order βn in the expansion we have to calculate a set of functions named H (n) 1,m ,m = 1,2, . . . ,n. The interested reader will find a survey of the method in reference [13]. In section 2 we apply the results of reference [12] to calculate the high-temperature expansion of the HFE of the normalized one-dimensional spin-S Ising model with single-ion anisotropy term in the presence of an external longitudinal magnetic field up to order β17. The nice feature about this expansion is that it is faster to apply than the transfer- matrix method [2], although the latter one provides exact curves in the whole interval of temperatures. In order to show the importance of calculating the high-temperature expansion of the spin-S Ising model in the presence of an external magnetic field, in section 3 we compare the behavior of certain thermo- dynamical functions of the ferromagnetic and of the AF Blume-Capel models in the presence of a weak longitudinal magnetic field. This comparison is made for various values of the spin, including the large- spin limit (S →∞). Section 4 presents the thermodynamics of the SCM (for spin-3 and the large-spin limit model) in the interval 11 K. T . 40 K. Finally, in section 5 we present our conclusions. 2. Thermodynamics of the spin-S Ising model with a single-ion anisotropy term The Hamiltonian of the spin-S Ising model with a single-ion anisotropy term in the presence of a longitudinal magnetic field is [13] H′ S = N ∑ i=1 [ J ′Sz i Sz i+1 −h′Sz i +D ′ (Sz i )2 ] , (1) where Sz i is the z component of the spin ~S operator with norm: ||~S||2 = S(S +1), S = 1 2 ,1, 3 2 ,2, . . ., at the i -th site of the chain; J ′ is the exchange strength and it can have negative value (ferromagnetic model) or positive value (AF model). In references [14] and [13] we studied the exact thermodynamics of this model for S = 1 2 and 1 (with h = 0), respectively. If the large-spin limit (S →∞) is applied directly to the Hamiltonian (1), all the thermodynamic func- tions of the large-spin limit model will diverge. In order to keep the functions finite in this limit, we study the normalized version of the Hamiltonian (1), that is, Hs = N ∑ i=1 [ J sz i sz i+1 −hsz i +D ( sz i )2 ] , s = 1 2 ,1, 3 3 ,2, . . . , (2) where sz i is the z component of the spin operator~s that has norm 1. The~s operator is defined as ~s ≡ ~S p S(S +1) , S = 1 2 ,1, 3 2 ,2, . . . . (3) Making S →∞ in the Hamiltonian (2) we obtain its large-spin limit. The Hamiltonians (1) and (2) are identical when J = S(S +1)J ′, h = √ S(S +1)h′ and D = S(S +1)D ′ (4) with S = 1 2 ,1, 3 2 ,2, . . . . LetZ ′ S (J ′,h′,D ′;β) be the partition function derived fromHamiltonian (1),Z ′ S (J ′,h′,D ′;β) = Tr ( e−βH′ S ) . Its HFE, in the thermodynamic limit, is called W ′ S , where W ′ S (J ′,h′,D ′;β) =− lim N→∞ 1 N 1 β ln [ Z ′ S(J ′,h′,D ′;β) ] . (5) 13706-2 The high-temperature expansion of the classical Ising model with S2 z term The analogous functions for the normalized Hamiltonian (2) are Zs(J ,h,D;β) = Tr ( e−βHs ) , and Ws (J ,h,D;β) =− lim N→∞ 1 N 1 β ln [ Zs(J ,h,D;β) ] . (6) For arbitrary spin value S, the relation between the HFE’s (5) and (6) is W ′ S (J ′,h′,D ′;β) =Ws ( S(S +1)J ′, √ S(S +1)h′,S(S +1)D ′;β ) . (7) The Hamiltonian (1) and its normalized version (2) belong to a subclass of chain Hamiltonians that satisfy periodic conditions and that can be decomposed as Hi ,i+1 = Pi ,i+1 +Qi , in which the operator Pi ,i+1 depends on two sites (the i -th and the (i +1)-th sites), the operatorQi depends only on the i -th site; moreover, tri ( Pi ,i+1 ) = 0. (8) It is simple to show that the functions H (n) 1,m calculated in the method presented in references [12, 13] for the subclass of Hamiltonians satisfying the condition (8) can be written as H (n) 1,m = H (1) 1,1 ×H (n−1) 1,m−1 + n ∑ n1=2 n2 ,n3, ...,nm=1 n1+n2+n3+...+nm=n ni,0, i=1,...,m 〈 H n1 12 n1! H n2 23 n2! . . . H nm m,m+1 nm ! 〉 g (9) with 2 É m É n. Equation (9) tells us that for Hamiltonians satisfying condition (8), the function H (n) 1,m has a contribu- tion fromH (n−1) 1,m−1, which are calculated to obtain the coefficient of orderβ n−1 in the expansion of the HFE. The number of terms to be calculated in each order of β in this expansion is then remarkably reduced. The result (9) permits us to write: H (n) 1,n = (H (1) 1,1)n , n = 1,2,3. . . (10) and H (n) 1,n−1 = H (1) 1,1 ×H (n−1) 1,n−2 + 1 2! 〈 H2 12 H23 . . . Hn−1,n 〉 g , (11) where the g -trace (〈. . .〉g ) in equations (9) and (11) means 〈 m ∏ i=1 H ni i ,i+1 ni ! 〉 g ≡ 1 n! ∑ P 〈 P ( H n1 1,2,H n2 2,3, . . . ,H nm m,m+1 )〉 , (12) where ∑m i=1 ni = n and ni , 0 with i = 1,2, . . . ,m. The notation P ( H n1 1,2,H n2 2,3, . . . ,H nm m,m+1 ) means all the distinct permutations of the n operators where m of them, { H1,2,H2,3, . . . ,Hm,m+1 } , are different. The notation 〈. . .〉 corresponds to calculating the normalized traces on the indexes: 1,2, . . . ,m +1 [12, 13]. The results (9)–(11) are valid for any 1DHamiltonian that is invariant under space translation, satisfies the periodic space condition and the condition (8). In this article we study a 1D model that satisfies the necessary conditions to apply the method of reference [12] plus the condition (8). All the terms in this Hamiltonian are commutative; hence, the g - traces in (9)–(11) can be replaced by the usual normalized traces [12]. We calculate the high-temperature expansion of Ws (J ,h,D;β), for arbitrary value of the spin S , up to order β17. The relation (7) can be applied to yield the high-temperature expansion of W ′ S (J ′,h′,D ′;β) from the expansion of Ws (J ,h,D;β). 13706-3 M.T. Thomaz, O. Rojas Herewe present the high-temperature expansion ofWs (J ,h,D;β), for any spin value S, up to order β2, Ws (J ,h,D;β) = − ln(2S +1) β + D 3 + [ − 1 6 Sh2 S +1 + 1 30 D2 S(S +1) − 2 45 SD2 S +1 − 1 18 J 2 S +1 − 2 45 D2 S +1 − 1 18 S J 2 S +1 − 1 6 h2 S +1 ] β+ [ 1 135 J 2D (S +1)2 − 1 30 h2D S(S +1)2 + 2 45 S2h2D (S +1)2 + 4 45 Sh2D (S +1)2 + 2 9 JSh2 (S +1)2 − 1 45 J 2D S(S +1)2 + 1 90 h2D (S +1)2 + 8 135 S J 2D (S +1)2 − 4 405 D3 (S +1)2 + 1 9 Jh2 (S +1)2 + 4 135 S2 J 2D (S +1)2 + 1 126 D3 S2(S +1)2 + 1 9 JS2h2 (S +1)2 − 4 315 D3 S(S +1)2 + 16 2835 SD3 (S +1)2 + 8 2835 S2D3 (S +1)2 ] β2 +O(β3). (13) We should note that this high-temperature expansion is valid for positive, null or negative values of J , and for arbitrary values of S,h and D. The HFE of the large-spin limit model of Hamiltonian (2) is calculated from the high-temperature expansion of Ws (J ,h,D;β) by taking the limit S →∞. The authors maintain a website1 in which the interested reader may find data files on the arbitrary finite spin-S and the large-spin limit (S →∞) HFE’s of the normalized Hamiltonian (2) up to order β17. We have a few general comments on the function Ws (J ,h,D;β): i) the expansion (13) of the HFE is an even function of the external longitudinal magnetic field h; ii) the function Ws (J ,h,D;β) is even in the parameter J for an external magnetic field with null longitudi- nal component (h = 0); iii) even for h = 0, the HFE (13) is sensitive to the sign of the parameter D. By direct comparison, we verify that our expansion of the HFE of the spin-S Ising model coincides for S = 1/2 and S = 1 with the high-temperature expansions of the exact results of references [14] and [3], respectively. It is simple to understand why the second comment is valid for the exact expression of the HFE of the model (2). The partition function comes from the calculation of the traces of operators (Hs)n . In refer- ence [19] we showed that for any spin-S only tri ( sz i )2l , 0. In the absence of the longitudinal component of the magnetic field (h = 0), only products with even number of operator J sz i sz i+1 give non-null contribu- tions to the tr[(Hs)n]. The contribution of the single-ion anisotropy term in Hamiltonian (2) to the partition function comes from the operator exp { − [ βD ( Sz i )2 ]/[ S(S +1) ]} . For positive values of the crystal field (D > 0) the main contribution of this operator to the partition function comes from the smallest eigenvalues of ( Sz i )2 . On the other hand, for negative values ofD the states with the largest eigenvalues of ( Sz i )2 are favored. Such distinct behavior for positive and negative values of D explains the origin of condition (iii). 3. The ferromagnetic and anti-ferromagnetic models in the presence of a weak magnetic field The exact expression of the HFE of the Hamiltonian (2) and its thermodynamic functions are un- known for an arbitrary value of spin s. Our work has been that of calculating the high-temperature expansion of thermodynamic functions of one-dimensional models. In section 2 we mentioned that the HFE’s of the Hamiltonians (1) and (2) in a magnetic field with null longitudinal component (h = 0), is an even function of J . As a consequence, for h = 0, several thermodynamic functions are the same for the ferromagnetic (J < 0) and AF (J > 0) models, namely: the specific heat, the internal energy, the entropy and the mean value of the square of the z component of the spin 〈 (Sz )2 〉 . For h = 0, we also have that the 1http://www.proac.uff.br/mtt. 13706-4 http://www.proac.uff.br/mtt The high-temperature expansion of the classical Ising model with S2 z term correlation function between first neighbors satisfies the equality Cs(−J ,0,D;β) =−Cs(J ,0,D;β) (14) for s = 1 2 ,1, 3 2 ,2, . . .. The high-temperature expansion (13) of the HFE of the spin-s model is valid for arbitrary values of h. In order to verify how important the presence of a longitudinal magnetic field is to the thermodynamic properties of the ferro and AF models, in this section we examine how the thermodynamic functions of the ferromagnetic and AF models differ from their respective values at h = 0 when they are in the presence of a weak magnetic field for different values of spin. Throughout this section we consider J = 1 (AF model) or J = −1 (ferromagnetic model). Again, the parameters are in units of |J | and the expansions are in powers of (|J |β). Let Fs (J ,h,D;β) be a given thermodynamic function with spin-s (see relation (3)) derived from Hamiltonian (2). Its percentage difference to the value ofFs(1,0,D;β) is defined as ∆Fs (J ,h,D;β) ≡ [ Fs (1,0,D;β)−Fs (J ,h,D;β) Fs (1,0,D;β) ] × 100%, J =±1. (15) Let us compare the thermodynamic functions. 1) Comparison of the specific heat per site: Cs (J ,h,D;β). For each spin-s, the specific heat functions of the ferromagnetic and AF models, in the high temper- ature limit (β→ 0), reach the same value for any h and D. The β2 term in this thermodynamic function has a J 2 dependence for both models. Figure 1 show ∆Cs (±1,h/|J |,D/|J |; |J |β) for s = 1/2,2,4 and∞ (large-spin limit model) as a function of h/|J | and (|J |β). In figure 1 (a) we have D = 0, |J |β = 1.6 and h/|J | ∈ [0,0.1]. For these spin values, |∆Cs (−1,h/|J |,0;1.6) . 43% for the ferromagnetic models, whereas |∆Cs (1,h/|J |,0;1.6)| . 0.42% for the AF models. In the AF case the function ∆Cs (1,h/|J |,0;1.6) for s = 1/2 very closely approximates its large- spin limit (s →∞) version. Figure 1 (b) shows the percentage difference ∆Cs as a function of (|J |β), for D/|J | = −0.5 and h/|J | = 0.1. Again we have that the percentage differences of the ferromagnetic models Figure 1. The percentage difference of the specific heat for h = 0 and for a weak magnetic field h for the AF (J = 1) and for the ferromagnetic models (J = −1). Notice that for the AF case, all curves are close to the horizontal axis. This comparison is made for both models with s = 1/2 (dashed line), s = 2 (dash- dotted line), s = 4 (solid line) and the large-spin limit model (dotted line). In figure 1 (a) this percentage difference is plotted as a function of h/|J | with D = 0 and (|J |β) = 1.6. Figure 1 (b) presents the curves of ∆Cs versus (|J |β) with D/|J | =−0.5 and h/|J | = 0.1. 13706-5 M.T. Thomaz, O. Rojas are high (|∆Cs (−1,0.1,−0.5; |J |β)| . 38% whereas the percentage differences for the AF models are much smaller (|∆Cs (1,0.1,−0.5; |J |β)| . 3%). The previous discussion exemplifies the fact that the high-temperature expansion of the specific heat of the AF model in the presence of a weak longitudinal magnetic field can be approximated by the corre- sponding expression derived from the results of reference [13] (where we have h = 0). Figure 1 shows us that for arbitrary spin-s we can improve this approximation by recognizing that Cs (1,h/|J |,D/|J |; |J |β) ≈ Cs(1,0,D/|J |; |J |β)+∆C1/2(1,h/|J |,D/|J |; |J |β), at least in the region in which h/|J | ≪ 1 and |J |β . 1.6. It is important to recall that the exact expression of C1/2(J ,h,D;β) is known [14]. For the spin-s ferromagnetic model (2) we need to know the high-temperature expansion of the HFE in the presence of longitudinal magnetic field to obtain the value of Cs(−1,h/|J |,D/|J |; |J |β), even in the presence of a weak field. 2) Comparison of the correlation function between first neighbors per site: Cs(J ,h,D;β). Equation (14) tells us that in the absence of magnetic field (h = 0), Cs(−J ,0,D;β) =−Cs(J ,0,D;β) (16) for s = 1 2 ,1, 3 2 ,2, . . . Result (16) describes the parallel (anti-parallel) alignment of the neighboring spins in the ferromagnetic (AF) model. We want to check how the function Cs(±1,h/|J |,D/|J |; |J |β) differs from the equality (16) in the pres- ence of a weak magnetic field. In order to quantify this deviation, we define DCs ( h/|J |,D/|J |; |J |β ) ≡ [ Cs ( −1,h/|J |,D/|J |; |J |β ) +Cs ( 1,h/|J |,D/|J |; |J |β ) Cs ( −1,h/|J |,D/|J |; |J |β ) ] × 100%. (17) In figure 2 (a) we show the percentage function (17), with D = 0 and D/|J | = −0.5, with h/|J | = 0.1, to verify the departure from equation (16) for the ferromagnetic and AF models in the presence of a weak magnetic field. The functionDCs(h/|J |,D/|J |; |J |β) depends on the spin value and for lower temperatures (|J |β∼ 1.9) it can be around 10%. 3) Comparison of the magnetic susceptibility per site: χs (J ,h,D;β). Figure 2. Left: comparison of the percentage function DCs for the s = 2 and the large-spin limit (s →∞) models for h/|J | = 0.1: for s = 2, the cases D = 0 (dashed line) and D/|J | = −0.5 (solid line) are shown, whereas for the s →∞model theD = 0 (dotted line) andD/|J | =−0.5 (dash-dotted line) cases are shown. Right: comparison of the percentage difference of the magnetic susceptibility ∆χs (−1,0.1,D;β) in the ferromagnetic model (J =−1) for s ∈ {2,4,∞}, for D/|J | = −0.5 (upper set of curves) and for D/|J | = −0.5 (lower set of curves); in both sets, the s = 2 (dashed line), s = 4 (solid line) and s →∞ (dotted line) cases are shown. 13706-6 The high-temperature expansion of the classical Ising model with S2 z term It is simple to obtain the high-temperature expansion of the magnetic susceptibility per site, χs(J ,h,D;β), from the series (13) for the HFE ( χs(β) =−∂2 Ws (β)/∂h2 ) . At h = 0, the magnetic susceptibility of the ferromagnetic and AF models are distinct. We define a percentage difference analogous to equation (15) to present in figure 2 (b) the difference between χs(−1,0.1,D/|J |; |J |β) and χs(−1,0,D/|J |; |J |β) in the ferromagnetic models with s = 2,4 and the large- spin limit model. In this figure we have D/|J | = ±0.5. For lower temperatures (|J |β∼ 2) we have percent- age differences around 20%. By looking at figure 2 (b) we see that for J =−1we have d(∆χs)/dβ ∣ ∣ D=−0.5 > d(∆χs)/dβ ∣ ∣ D=0.5 . This inequality is explained by the fact that for D < 0 the states with the largest values of ( Sz i )2 are more probable, whereas the states with the smallest values of ( Sz i )2 are favored in the model with D > 0. For the AF models (J = 1), in the interval |J |β ∈ [0,1.43], with h/|J | = 0.1 and D/|J | = ±0.5, we obtain from the percentage difference (15) |∆χs (1,0.1,D/|J |; |J |β)|. 0.6%. We point out that to derive the high-temperature expansion of χs (J ,h,D;β) from the HFE, we need the dependence of the HFE on h. That is not the case of the previous paper on the spin-S Ising model [7]. 4. Thermodynamic behavior of the single-chain magnet in the interval 10 K. T . 40 K The Hamiltonian (1), with S = 3, was applied by Kishine et al. [9] to analyze the low energy dynamics of the single-chain magnet (SCM) [Mn(saltmen)]2[Ni(pao)2(py)2](PF6)2 for T < 40 K in the presence of a weak magnetic field. Their Hamiltonian (2) is identical to ours (1) once we set J ′ =−2t . In [19] we studied the thermodynamics of the unitary spin-s X X Z model with a single-ion anisotropy term in the presence of amagnetic field in the z direction.We obtained that the specific heat, the magneti- zation and the magnetic susceptibility of this model with s = 3 are well approximated by their respective large-spin limit versions, in the temperature range of |J |β. 1. For the non-normalized S = 3 X X Z model this range corresponds to |J |β. 0.083 (see section 2.2 of reference [19]). In this section, we compare the Hamiltonian (1) having spin-3with its large-spin limit version for T . 40 K. By “large-spin limit model” we mean that the z component of its spin vector ~S varies continuously, namely, Sz i = 2 p 3cos(θi ), in which θi ∈ [0,π], and i ∈ {1,2, . . . , N }. In order to relate our analysis to the aforementioned SCMwe use the same parameter values as in [9], namely, J ′ k =−1.6 K (18a) and D ′ k =−2.5 K, (18b) in the spin-3 and large-spin limit Hamiltonians. One is reminded that k is the Boltzmann constant. Taking the value (18a) for J ′, for T ∼ 40 K we have |J ′|β ∼ 0.04. Note that the temperature region characterized by |J |β. 0.04 is contained in the temperature region in which the spin-3 X X Z model behaves very much like its large-spin limit version. Along this section, we take h′/k = 0.25 K, which is a weak magnetic field (h′/|D ′| = 0.1). Let FS(h;β) be a thermodynamic function. Its percentage difference of the S = 3 and the large-spin limit models is defined as ∆F (h;β) ≡ [ FS→∞(h;β)−F3(h;β) FS→∞(h;β) ] × 100%. (19) In figure 3 we plot the percentage difference (19) of the specific heat, the z component of the mag- netization per site M (S) z (J ′,h′,D ′;β) ( M (S) z (β) ≡− ∂WS (β) ∂h ) and the magnetic susceptibility per site. The dash-dotted curve corresponds to the specific heat in the interval T ∈ [14.1 K,40 K]. For T . 40 K or |J ′|β& 0.046, we verify that ∆C (0.25;β) & 10%. The percentage difference of the z component of the mag- netization, ∆Mz (0.25;β), is given by the solid line in the figure for T ∈ [11.63 K,40 K], while the dotted 13706-7 M.T. Thomaz, O. Rojas curve describes ∆χ(0.25;β) in the temperature window T ∈ [12.99 K,40 K]. We verify that for T . 19.3 K, that is, |J ′|β & 0.083, the z component of the magnetization and the magnetic susceptibility of the spin-3 model of the SCM differ more than 8.5% from their corresponding large-spin limit values. Figure 3. The percentage differences between the thermodynamic functions of the spin-3 model and its large-spin limit version of the SCM. The dash-dotted line corresponds to ∆C (0.25;β), the solid line to ∆Mz (0.25;β) and the dotted line to ∆χ(0.25;β). Due to the ratio |J ′|/|D ′| value of 0.64 for this SCM, the single-ion anisotropy term gives the main contribution to its thermodynamics. Since the crystal field D ′ is negative (see equation (18b)), the states with Sz i = ±3 and ±2 are the most probable. The modulus of the amount of energy, in units of k , for the single-ion anisotropy term to change from states with Sz i = ±2 to states with Sz i = ±3, and vice-versa, is 12.5 K. This value is close to one-third of 40 K. We conclude that for T . 40 K (that is, |J ′|β & 0.04), the discretized nature of the spin-3 is still an important feature of the model. This result is very different from that of reference [19] for the spin-3 X X Z model with a single-ion anisotropy term in the presence of a magnetic field in the z direction. Our expansion of the HFE with S = 3 can be easily used to fit the experimental data of this SCM. It can also be applied to determine the best fit of the parameters J ′ and D ′. 5. Conclusions The method of reference [12] permits one to calculate the high-temperature expansion of the HFE of any chain Hamiltonian with interaction between first neighbors which is invariant under space transla- tion and satisfies a periodic space condition. If the Hamiltonian also satisfies the condition (8), we show that some of the terms that contribute to the function H (n) 1,m have already been calculated in a lower order of n, that is, H (n−1) 1,m−1. A set of important 1D Hamiltonians satisfy the condition (8). This contribution from lower order of n to this auxiliary function permits us to compute the HFE of the one-dimension Ising model with single-ion anisotropy term in the presence of a longitudinal magnetic field up to order β17, for arbitrary values of spin S and of the other parameters J , h and D. Upon performing the numerical analysis of the thermodynamics of spin models (1) and (2) one must know the value of the spin before- hand. We discuss the thermodynamics of the normalized Hamiltonian (see equation (2)), but equation (7) relates the HFE of the Hamiltonian (1) and its normalized version (equation (2)). Some thermodynamic functions are insensitive to the sign of J in the absence of a magnetic field; for instance, the specific heat of the ferromagnetic (J < 0) and AF (J > 0) spin-S Ising models with single-ion anisotropy term are identical with h = 0. In the absence of a magnetic field, the ferromagnetic model favors parallel neighboring spins while in the AF model the anti-parallel pairs are more probable. The 13706-8 The high-temperature expansion of the classical Ising model with S2 z term effect of the presence of an external magnetic field in both models is that of favoring the alignment of spins at each site to the field direction. In the ferromagnetic model such alignment is favored by the cou- pling between neighboring spins. On the other hand, in the AF model there is a competition between the coupling of neighboring spins (favoring anti-parallel alignment) and the Zeeman term (forcing all the spins in the chain to align with the external magnetic field). As a consequence of this competition, there is a perturbative effect in the AF model due to the presence of a weak magnetic field; in such regime, their thermodynamic functionsFs(1,h/|J |,h/|J |; |J |β) for the spin-s model can be approximated by Fs(1,h/|J |,D/|J |; |J |β) ≈ Fs (1,0,D/|J |; |J |β)+∆F1/2(1,h/|J |,h/|J |; |J |β). The exact expression of the HFE of the spin-1/2 Ising model with a single-ion anisotropy term in the presence of a longitudinal mag- netic field is known [14]. In the ferromagnetic model, the effect of the Zeeman coupling cannot be treated anymore as a perturbation to the interaction between first neighbors and to the single-ion anisotropy term for h/|J |& 0.04. Kishine et al. [9] applied the spin-3 Hamiltonian (1) to analyse the low energy dynamics of the [Mn(saltmen)]2[Ni(pac)2(py)2](PF6)2 SCM for temperatures T < 40 K. Although S = 3 could be consid- ered a high spin value in the region of T ∼ 40 K (|J ′|β ∼ 0.04), the negative value of D ′ favors the states with Sz i = ±2 and ±3. The modulus of the amount of energy required by the single-ion anisotropy term to have Sz varied from ±2⇋ ±3 and vice-versa is about one-third of the thermal energy available for T . 40 K. Our results show that the large-spin limit model, with the spin-3 replaced by the classical vector in the Hamiltonian, yields a poor approximation to the behavior of this SCM for T . 18 K and for the set of parameters values (18a) and (18b). Finally, it is very important to point out that our high-temperature expansion of the HFE of the spin-s Ising model can be applied to fit experimental data of newmaterials with one-dimensional behavior and strong anisotropy axis. This expansion leaves the spin value of the material as one of the parameters to be determined by the best fit. The expansion is valid for positive and negative values of J and D in the presence of a longitudinal magnetic field that does not have to be a weak field. Acknowledgements M.T.
