Nonanalytic behavior of two-dimensional itinerant ferromagnets

Authors:

Abstract
We consider an ordered ferromagnet in the vicinity of a T=0 transition into a paramagnet. We show that the free energy and the transverse and longitudinal static susceptibilities contain nonanalyticities which destroy a continuous second-order transition. Depending on the parameters, the transition either becomes first order or occurs via an intermediate spiral phase.
