The average â X(m) = ∫d Ωm X(m)P(m) is over the orientations m of the local moment on site 0 and is a matrix in 2×2 spin space; P(m) is the probability for the local moment to point in the m direction. While P(m)=1 4π above TC (Ref.), in the FM phase near TC, P(m) exp(-3β TC Mm) [see M. Auslender and E. Kogan, Phys. Rev. B PRBMDO 0163-1829 10.1103/PhysRevB.65.012408 65, 012408 (2001);
