Abstract: A new approximation method is proposed for the calculation of the magnetic susceptibility of one-dimensional assembly of spins and the critical temperature of two-dimensional one both with the anisotropic Heisenberg exchange. In a linear chain system, every spins are grouped into pairs of adjacent spins (pair-approximation) or clusters of adjacent three spins ((q+1)-approximation), and the partition function of the total spin system is approximated as a sum of products of the partitions functions for the pairs or the clusters. Then the partition function of the anisotropic Heisenberg spin system is shown to reduce into a form of the Ising spin system with modified coupling constants. The exact result for the Ising chain system enables us to obtain an analytical expression for the magnetic susceptibility of anisotropic Heisenberg chain system. The same approximations are also applied to two-dimensional lattices, and the critical temperatures of the square, triangular, and honeycomb lattices with anisotropic Heisenberg exchange are calculated as a function of anisotropy parameter. The results are compared with those of the existing theories and shown to be quite excellent.
