Abstract

The influence of the next-nearest-neighbor (NNN) antiferromagnetic interaction J ’has been examined within t-t'-J-J ’model in an exact technique. An 8-site square cluster is chosen as the representative of the system. The effect of the next-nearest-neighbor (NNN) antiferromagnetic interaction on various ground state properties such as electron-electron correlation, spin-spin correlation, effective hopping amplitude etc. has been studied. Temperature variation of the susceptibility shows that J ’suppresses short range antiferromagnetic order. Applying periodic boundary conditions, the calculations have been extended beyond the 8-site limit.
