condensed matter - Phase transition in 2D Heisenberg model


When we study the two-dimensional isotropic Heisenberg Model using Mean Field Theory or by Monte Carlo simulation we observe a phase transition at a temperature not equal to zero. This is opposed to Mermin Wagner theorem. Interestingly this ordering happens only in z direction. Can anybody explain why we observe such a transition?
