Abstract

A three-spin interaction in the form of a box product, σ1 x σ2 · σ3, is considered. The thermodynamic behavior is investigated using an effective field theory. A second-order phase transition is found and the magnetization and energy per spin appear to be very similar to those of an ordinary Heisenberg ferromagnet. © 1984.
