چکیده

We have studied the compressible antiferromagnetic Ising Model on a triangular lattice using Monte Carlo simulations. It is found that the coupling to the strain removes the frustration of the rigid model and the simulations show a transition from the disordered to an ordered, striped phase at low temperatures. This transition involves two broken symmetries: the Ising symmetry and a three-state Potts symmetry characteristic of the triangular lattice. In the absence of bond fluctuations, this transition is always strongly first order. Using finite-size scaling analysis, we find evidence that, in the presence of fluctuations, the transition becomes weakly first order and possibly second order when the coupling to the lattice is increased. We discuss the relevance of this model to certain phase transitions in alloys. @S0163-1829~96!04918-1#

Monte Carlo study of next - nearest - neighbor Ising antiferromagnet on a stacked triangular lattice

Critical properties of the Ising model on a stacked triangular lattice, with antiferromagnetic first and second-neighbor in-plane interactions, are studied by extensive histogram Monte Carlo simulations. The results, in conjunction with the recently determined phase diagram, strongly suggest that the transition from the period-3 ordered state to the paramagnetic phase remains in the xy universa...

N ov 1 99 9 Effective Field Theory of the Zero - Temperature Triangular - Lattice Antiferromagnet : A Monte Carlo Study

Using a Monte Carlo coarse-graining technique introduced by Binder et al., we have explicitly constructed the continuum field theory for the zerotemperature triangular Ising antiferromagnet. We verify the conjecture that this is a gaussian theory of the height variable in the interface representation of the spin model. We also measure the height-height correlation function and deduce the stiffn...

Thermodynamic Properties of the Triangular-Lattice Ising Antiferromagnet in a Uniform Magnetic Field

Using both the exact enumeration method (microcanonical transfer matrix) for small systems (up to 9 9 lattices) and the Wang-Landau Monte Carlo algorithm for large systems (up to 30 30 lattices), we obtain the exact and approximate densities of states g(M;E), as a function of magnetization M and exchange energy E, for the triangular-lattice Ising model in the presence of an external uniform mag...

XY universality of the stacked triangular Ising antiferromagnet

Histogram analysis of Monte-Carlo simulation results of the Ising antiferro-magnet on a stacked triangular lattice are reported. Finite-size scaling estimates for critical exponents suggest XY universality. This result supports earlier predictions based on symmetry arguments and is in contrast with a recent suggestion of a new universality class by Bunker et al.

0 Is There A Phase Transition in the Isotropic Heisenberg Antiferromagnet on the Triangular Lattice ?

The phase diagram of the classical anisotropic (XXZ) Heisenberg model on the 2-dimensional triangular lattice is investigated using Monte Carlo methods. In the easy-axis limit, two finite temperature vortex unbinding transitions have been observed. In the easy-plane limit, there also appear to be two distinct finite temperature phase transitions which are very close in temperature. The upper tr...
