Abstract
The influence of magnetic dipole interactions (MDIs) on the magnetic properties of local-moment spin systems is investigated. The eigenvalues and eigenvectors of the MDI tensor are determined for a wide variety of spin lattices and magnetic wavevectors in the magnetically ordered state with collinear moment alignments. The predicted easy axes in the ordered state are compared with experimental results for antiferromagnetic (AFM) compounds. The theory is generalized to include noncollinear AFM structures and compared with experiments. Many properties caused or influenced by MDIs in the ordered and paramagnetic states are calculated within Weiss molecular field theory.
