Abstract :
The power series coherent anomaly method is applied to study the critical properties of a classical Heisenberg model. The values of true critical temperature Tc* are obtained. Using these results the estimation of critical exponent γ for the zero-field static susceptibility has been made. The results for Tc* are in good agreement with those obtained from the ratio method and the Padé approximant analysis of the direct susceptibility series. But the results for γ are found to be different. It is seen that γ for bcc and fcc lattices is approximately equal to 4/3, while for the sc lattice γ 2> 4/3, in disagreement with the mean experimental value of 4/3. With the proposal of a possible correction due to confluent singularities for sc model we obtain the following expression for susceptibility: , with xc = xc/xc*, xc = J/kBTc, kB being the Boltzmann constant, J the nearest-neighbour exchange constant, Tcc the critical temperature. B and a are numerical constants. Δ*, the confluent correction has been found to be 0.42 for the sc lattice and non-existent in bcc and fcc lattices.
