Abstract
The authors consider a ferromagnet composed of two types of magnetic atoms: Ising- and Heisenberg-like. Using an expansion of the free energy as proposed by Strieb, Callen and Horwitz (1963), expressions for the critical temperature and magnetisation are derived. They show by studying these functions, that the model passes smoothly from its purely Ising form to a purely Heisenberg form. The authors also examine the dependence of Tc and the magnetisation on the anisotropy of the Heisenberg-Ising interactions and the strength of the coupling constants.
