abstract = {We consider magnetic systems where the magnetic sublattices
can be unambiguously separated into sublattices of inducing
and induced moments. The concrete numerical calculations are
performed for half-metallic ferromagnetic Heusler compound
NiMnSb and hexagonal phase of MnAs. In both systems, Mn
atoms possess a robust atomic moment that is much larger
than the induced moments of other atoms. It is shown that
the treatment of the induced moments as independent
variables of the Heisenberg Hamiltonian leads to artificial
features in the spin-wave spectrum. We show that the
artificial features of the model do not have a dramatic
influence on the estimated value of the Curie temperature.
This is demonstrated within both mean-field approximation
and random-phase approximation. It is shown that the
calculational scheme where the induced moments are assumed
to fully adjust their values and directions to the adiabatic
magnetic configurations of the inducing moments is free from
the artificial feature in the spin-wave spectra. In this
scheme, the exchange interaction between the inducing and
induced moments appears as renormalization of the exchange
interactions between inducing moments. It is shown that the
redistribution of the exchange interactions has strong
influence on the estimated value of the Curie temperature
because of the decreased number of the degrees of freedom in
the thermodynamic model. Different schemes of the mapping of
the systems on the Heisenberg Hamiltonian are examined. The
similarities and differences in the properties of NiMnSb and
MnAs are discussed.},
