Abstract We study the thermodynamic properties of two dimensional Heisenberg antiferromagnet on the honeycomb lattice in the presence of anisotropic Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interaction and next nearest neighbor coupling exchange constant. A sublattice antiferromagnetic long range ordering has been considered for localized electrons on honeycomb lattice structure. In particular, the temperature dependence of specific heat has been investigated for various physical parameters in the model Hamiltonian. Using Holstein-Primakoff bosonic transformations, the behavior of thermodynamic properties has been studied by means of excitation spectrum of mapped bosonic gas. Furthermore we have studied the dependence of specific heat and magnetization on Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interaction strength for various next nearest neighbor interaction strengths. At low temperatures, the specific heat is found to be monotonically increasing with temperature. We have found the dependence of specific heat on Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interaction strength shows a monotonic increasing behavior for various next nearest neighbor exchange constants. Also we have studied the temperature dependence of staggered magnetization for different next nearest neighbor coupling constants. Our results show the critical temperature moves to higher amounts with reduction of Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interaction strength.
