Abstract
The Wigner–Eckart theorem is used to consider collective effects associated with the ordering of spins in systems of identical particles in Ferro- and antiferromagnetic electronic systems, as well as magnetic effects arising in high-spin systems. The Hamiltonian obtained by Heisenberg, Dirac, and Van Vleck was written in the spin representation used to describe spin ordering in systems of particles with spin 1/2. This form is not suitable for describing systems of particles with a spin other than 1/2. “High-spin” particles in the spin representation should be described by other forms of the exchange interaction Hamiltonian in the spin representation. The Hamiltonian for high-spin particles is derived from the first principles. This chapter discusses the effects of magnetic ordering in systems of identical particles with arbitrary spin.

Appendices
Appendix 1: Variational Heisenberg Model for the Spin-1/2 System
A system of identical particles with spins 1/2 is described by the HDV Hamiltonian Eq. (64)
Suppose each pair of particles has the same coupling constant \(J_{kl} = J\). In the system of N particles, N+ particles have spin “up” and N- - spin “down”. Then average value of spin for each particle is
or
The total energy of interaction in this case is
Then the average energy of interaction per one particle is
We used here that N >> 1.
The statistical sum of such state with the energy \(\overline{\varepsilon }_{{\text{int}}}\) per particle is
We take the temperature in the energy scale (T = kBTo). The free energy for this case is
The Stirling formula was used for the factor representation:
To find the optimal value of the mean spin, \(\overline{s}\), we take the derivative of the free energy F, defined in (A7), with respect to \(\overline{s}\).
We come to the following transcendental equation for \(\overline{s}\).
or in the form
The possible solutions to the equation Eq. (A11) are shown in Fig. 4. It is clear that in the case of parameter \(\frac{J}{4T} > 1\), the equation has a nontrivial solution for \(\left( {2\overline{s}} \right)\), which means the excitation of the spontaneous polarization in the system with the total spin \(\Sigma = N\overline{s}\) (It is shown in Fig. 4a). The case b) shows the absence of the spontaneous spin polarization in the system (the parameter \(\frac{J}{4T} < 1\). The case c) on the picture shows a state which is close to the phase transformation in the spin system. It means that the critical temperature of the phase transition is \(T* = \frac{J}{4}\). It is a second-order phase transition from paramagnetic to ferromagnetic state.
Appendix 2: Ising Model for the Spin-1/2 Chain
We consider a spin chain in the magnetic field. HDV Hamiltonian with respect to the interaction of eigen magnetic momentums of spin-1/2 particles has the form
where \({\mathbf{H}}\) is a magnetic field strength.
As it was shown in Eq. (35)
In this model (Ising Model), the first two terms are neglected. In the nearest-neighbor case (with periodic or free boundary conditions), an exact solution is available. The Hamiltonian of the one-dimensional Ising model on a lattice of L sites with periodic boundary conditions is
where \(\hat{\sigma }_{zk}\)-are Pauli matrix for k-th spin projection on the z-axis, \(J_{kk + 1} = 4J\).
Statistical sum z is
A diagonalization of the operator \(\hat{V}_{kk + 1}\) gives the following:
Therefore, that statistical sum z will have a form
λ1 is the highest eigenvalue of V, while λ2 is the other eigenvalue and |λ2| < λ1. This gives the formula of the free energy.
In the one-dimensional Ising model, there is no remnant magnetization. Spontaneous spin polarization does not occur.
