The Heisenberg model is the n=3 case of the n-vector model. The Hamiltonian is given by
where the sum runs over all pairs of nearest neighbour spins, , and where is the coupling constant. The classical model is known to have a finite-temperature phase transition in three or higher spacial dimensions, and the ferromagnetic () and antiferromagnetic () share essentially the same physics. The quantum version differs greatly, and even the one-dimensional case has a rich variety of phenomena depending on the spin number and the sign of .
