We consider nonlinear magnon interactions in collinear antiferromagnetic (AF) insulators at finite temperatures. In AF systems with biaxial magnetocrystalline anisotropy, we implement a self-consistent Hartree-Fock mean-field approximation to explore the nonlinear interactions. The resulting nonlinear magnon interactions separate into two-magnon intra- and interband scattering processes. Furthermore, we compute the temperature dependence of the magnon spectrum due to nonlinear magnon interactions for square and hexagonal lattices. Measurements of the predicted AF resonance at different temperatures can probe nonlinear interactions close to the magnetic phase transitions. Our findings establish a framework for exploring magnonic phenomena where interactions are essential, e.g., magnon transport and Bose-Einstein condensation of magnons.

We demonstrate theoretically that the thermal Hall effect of magnons in collinear antiferromagnetic insulators is an indicator of magnetic and topological phase transitions in the magnon spectrum. The transversal heat current of magnons caused by a thermal gradient is calculated for an antiferromagnet on a honeycomb lattice. An applied magnetic field drives the system from the antiferromagnetic phase via a spin-flop phase into the field-polarized phase. Besides these magnetic phase transitions we find topological phase transitions within the spin-flop phase. Both types of transitions manifest themselves in prominent and distinguishing features in the thermal conductivities; depending on the temperature, the conductivity changes by several orders of magnitude, providing a tool to discern experimentally the two types of phase transitions. We include numerical results for the van der Waals magnet MnPS$_3$.
We present a dynamical mean-field study of antiferromagnetic magnons in one-, two- and three-orbital Hubbard model of square and bcc cubic lattice at intermediate coupling strength. Weinvestigate the effect of anisotropy introduced by an external magnetic field or single-ion anisotropy.For the latter we tune continuously between the easy-axis and easy-plane models. We also analyzea model with spin-orbit coupling in cubic site-symmetry setting. The ordered states as well as themagnetic excitations are sensitive to even a small breaking ofSU(2)symmetry of the model andfollow the expectations of spin-wave theory as well as general symmetry considerations.
Mean-field approximation is often used to explore the qualitative behaviour of phase transitions in classical spin models before employing computationally costly methods such as the Monte-Carlo techniques. We implement a lattice site-resolved mean-field spin model that allows efficient simulation of phase transitions between phases of complex magnetic domains, such as magnetic helices, skyrmions, or states with canted spins. The framework is useful as a complementary approach for pre-screening the qualitative features of phase diagrams in complex magnets.
A mean-field approach (MFA) is proposed for the analysis of orientational order in a two-dimensional system of stochastic self-propelled particles interacting by local velocity alignment mechanism. The treatment is applied to the cases of ferromagnetic (F) and liquid-crystal (LC) alignment. In both cases, MFA yields a second order phase transition for a critical noise strength and a scaling exponent of 1/2 for the respective order parameters. We find that the critical noise amplitude $eta_c$ at which orientational order emerges in the LC case is smaller than in the F-alignment case, i.e. $eta^{LC}_{C}<eta^{F}_{C}$. A comparison with simulations of individual-based models with F- resp. LC-alignment shows that the predictions about the critical behavior and the qualitative relation between the respective critical noise amplitudes are correct.
We present a thorough theoretical assessment of the stability of non-collinear spin arrangements in small palladium clusters. We generally find that ferromagnetic order is always preferred, but that antiferromagnetic and non-collinear configurations of different sorts exist and compete for the first excited isomers. We also show that the relative stability of all these states is rather insensitive to the choice of atomic configuration for the pseudopotential used and to the approximation taken for the exchange and correlation potential. This result stands in stark contrast with the situation found for the bulk phases of palladium.
