The coupling between two magnetic centers in a band is discussed within the framework of the functional-integral scheme. The model used is the single-orbital Hubbard model with Coulomb repulsion only on the two magnetic sites. In lowest approximation, antiferromagnetic
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
