Phase diagrams of the corner cubic Heisenberg model and its site-diluted version on a triangular lattice: Renormalization-group treatment
Kiyoshi Nagai
The global phase diagrams of the corner cubic anisotropic discrete-spin Heisenberg (CH) model and its site-diluted version (dCH) on a triangular lattice are investigated through the position-space renormalization-group method of the simple Migdal-Kadanoff type. The two models include many simpler models as their subspaces, and the interrelations among these models are elucidated. The five-dimensional (5D) phase diagram of the dCH model is generated from the 3D one of the CH model by introducing 2D site-dilution operation. The structure of the 5D phase diagram and the effect of site dilution on the CH model are conveniently visualized by introducing the concept of paths in the 3D subspace. The path describes the temperature variation provided that the ratios between the interaction parameters in the original CH model are fixed. The resulting phase diagrams of the dCH model exhibit the typical three-phase coexistence of solid, liquid, and gas, and their qualitative interpretations are summarized.
