The triangular lattice Ising model with first and second neighbour interactions
J. Oitmaa
Abstract
Reports studies of the critical behaviour of the Ising model with first and second neighbour interactions J 1 , J 2 on the triangular lattice. High-temperature series have been used to determine the locations of the ferromagnetic critical line and the critical line in the region (J 1 <0, J 2 >0). On the latter line the ordering susceptibility appears to diverge algebraically with the exponent gamma approximately 2.4. The existence of a sinusoidal phase and an associated Lifshitz point are conjectured.
