Static and dynamic properties of helical spin chains
A detailed quantitative study of a classical Heisenberg chain with nearest- and next-nearest-neighbor interaction is presented. For a wide range of interaction strength, this model leads to helical structures and the effects of this peculiar structure on the static and dynamic properties is extensively discussed. The most striking feature is the presence of both a central resonance and a spin-wave peak at fairly low temperatures.
