The dimerized S=1/2 spins of the Cu ions in TlCuCl3 are ordered antiferromagnetically in the presence of a field larger than about 54 kOe in the zero-temperature limit. Within the mean-field approximation all thermal effects are frozen out below 6 K. Nevertheless, experiments show significant changes of the critical field and the magnetization below this temperature, which reflect the presence of low-energetic dimer-spin excitations. We calculate the dimer-spin correlation functions within a self-consistent random-phase approximation, using as input the effective exchange coupling parameters obtained from the measured excitation spectra. The calculated critical field and magnetization curves exhibit the main features of those measured experimentally, but differ in important respects from the predictions of simplified boson models.
