The magnetic phase diagram (temperature versus doping) for the Hubbard model in the large U/t limit has been constructed by using the path-integral method. The antiferromagnetic order parameter has been represented in terms of fermion operators which correspond to neutral, spin one-half quasi-particles, spinons. Numerical calculations have been performed for the two-dimensional square lattice. A stable antiferromagnetic phase for the half-filled band has been found below a critical temperature TC=J where J=4t2/U is the superexchange interaction. It has been shown that antiferromagnetism is destroyed by doping with about 15% of holes for t/J=10. The results are discussed in the light of recent experiments for high TC oxides.
