Dynamics of the classical two dimensional XY ferromagnet at low temperatures: a memory function approach

The spin dynamics of two dimensional XY ferromagnet are reexamined at low temperatures in the framework of the Mori continued fraction formalism using the Gaussian approximation. In this formalism, the terms on denominators for the Laplace transform of the relaxation function R(t) are related to the frequency moments<img src="http:/img/fbpe/bjp/v28n4/sd6.gif" alt="sd6.gif (174 bytes)" align="absmiddle"> of the relaxation shape function R(q,w). In the Gaussian approximation scheme, we truncate the continued fraction for R(t) on the second stage. Adopting this approximation, we calculated up to the sixth moment. The moments are writing in terms the static spin correlation functions. In the estimation of the fourth and sixth moment at finite temperature, the four and six-spin correlation functions may be approximated by a sum of products of appropriate pair correlation functions(mode-mode decoupling). In this work we calculated the static spin correlation functions for the expressions to the fourth and sixth moments, needed in the study of the dynamics.
