J1 J2 model explained

The J1–J2 model is a quantum spin model like the Heisenberg model but also includes a term for the interaction between next-nearest neighbor spins.

Hamiltonian

In this model, the term

J1

represents the usual nearest-neighbor interaction as seen in the Heisenberg model, and

J2

represents the exchange interaction to the next nearest-neighbor.

\hatH=J1\sum\langle\vecSi\vecSj+J2\sum\langle\langle\vecSi\vecSj
