Green's function theory of biquadratic exchange in a heisenberg ferromagnet

In this paper the effect of biquadratic exchange on Curie temperature has been discussed on the basis of double-time temperature-dependent Green-function formalism with the utilization of Callen decoupling scheme. Calculation has been done for a spin-1 bcc Heisenberg ferromagnet by the method of Flax and Raich and it has been observed that the variation of Curie temperature with the biquadratic exchange parameter α obeys a law prescribed by the previous authors.
