Abstract

Monte Carlo simulations of the Ising model on the triangular lattice with the antiferromagnetic nn interaction J and the ferromagnetic nnn interaction J ' are carried out. Several physical quantities (magnetizations, energies, susceptibilities, specific heats of sublattices and of the total system) are calculated. A phase which resembles the partially disordered phase proposed by Mekata is observed in the finite temperature region. But it is shown in this region that the sublattice magnetizations vanish at the thermodynamic limit and the Kosterlitz-Thouless phase transition is predicted by the finite size analysis.

Monte Carlo Study of a Triangular Ising Lattice. II. Occurrence of the Kosterlitz-Thouless-Like Phase Transition

Hajime Takayama, Kazuyuki Matsumoto, Hideaki Kawahara +1 more

A two-dimensional triangular Ising lattice with the nearest-neighbor antiferromagnetic interaction J 1 and the next-nearest-neighbor ferromagnetic interaction - J 2 is studied by the Monte Carlo simulation. It is shown that the system with a finite J 2 undergoes the successive phase transition, paramagnetic→Kosterlitz-Thouless (KT)-like→ferrimagnetic phases, as temperature decreases. The sub-lattice switching phenomenon observed in our previous work is shown to be an intrinsic property inherent to the present system which has an XY character. The marginal exponent of the order-parameter correlation function at the KT-like transition point is seen to increase from 1/4 as the ratio J 2 / J 1 decreases, namely, it reveals a deviation from the universal behavior of a genuine XY model.

Monte Carlo study of the phase transitions in 2D ferro- and antiferromagnetic Potts models on a triangular lattice

Akai Kurbanovich Murtazaev, Albert Babaevich Babaev

The phase transitions in 2D ferro- and antiferromagnetic Potts models with number of spin states q = 3 on a triangular lattice are investigated by the cluster and classical Monte Carlo methods. Systems with linear sizes L = 20–120 are considered. Fourth-order Binder cumulants and histogram data analysis are used to show that second- and first-order phase transitions are observed in the ferromagnetic and antiferromagnetic Potts models, respectively. The static critical indices are calculated for specific heat α, susceptibility γ, magnetization β, and correlation length ν on the basis of finite-size scaling theory for a ferromagnetic Potts model.

The 2×1 and 2×2 Structures on a Triangular Lattice

Yukio Saitō, Kazushi Furuta, Masato Hojou

Phase transitions of the triangular Ising model in a field with nearest and second nearest neighbor antiferromagnetic interactions with couplings, - J and - J /2, respectively, are studied by the interfacial free energy method, by the mean field approximation, by the transfer matrix and phenomenological renormalization methods and by the Monte Carlo simulation. At low temperatures and at fields weaker than the lower critical field h c1 the system takes the 2 × 1 structure, and at fields between h c1 and the upper critical field h c2 it takes the 2×2 structure. Between the 2×1 and 2×2 phases near the field h c1 , a partial disordered phase, in which a part of the sublattices are in disorder, is found. Specific heat shows no divergence, when the partial disordered phase changes to other phases.

Determination of the Critical Points of Antiferromagnetic Ising Model with Next Nearest Neighbour Interactions on the Triangular Lattice

Seiji Miyashita, Hidetsugu Kitatani, Yasumasa Kanada

Positions of critical temperatures of antiferromagnetic Ising model with ferromagnetic next nearest neighbour interactions on the triangular lattice are investigated by making use of their properties of the Kosterlitz-Thouless type of phase transition. In particular, finite-size scaling method and Monte Carlo Renormalization Group methods (MCRG) with flow diagrams of the anomalous dimension η show the fixed line structure where the correlation length diverges. Another MCRG with flow diagram of the stiffness constant also shows a critical property clearly. The temperature dependence of the long range order is also discussed in order to locate the lower critical point.

Localized fermions on the triangular lattice with Ising-like interactions

Lubomíra Regeciová, Konrad Jerzy Kapcia

The model of localized fermions on the triangular lattice is analyzed in means of the Monte Carlo simulations in the grand canonical ensemble. The Hamiltonian of the system has a form of the extended Hubbard model (at the atomic limit) with nearest-neighbor Ising-like magnetic J interactions and onsite Coulomb U interactions. The model is investigated for both signs of J, arbitrary U interaction, and arbitrary chemical potential μ (or, equivalently, arbitrary particle concentration n). Based on the specific heat capacity and sublattice magnetization analyses, the phase diagrams of the model are determined. For ferromagnetic case (J<0), the transition from the ordered phase (which is a standard ferromagnet and can be stable up to k_{B}T/|J|≈0.61) is found to be second order (for sufficiently large temperatures k_{B}T/|J|≳0.2) or first order (for -1<U/|J|<-0.65 at the half-filling, i.e., n=1). In the case of J>0, the ordered phase occurs in a range of -1/2<U/|J|<0 (for n=1), while for larger U the state with short-range order is also found (also for n≠1). The ordered phase is characterized by an antiferromagnetic arrangement of magnetic moments in two sublattices forming the hexagonal lattice. The transition from this ordered phase, which is found also for μ≠0 (n≠1) and U/|J|>-1/2 is always second order for any model parameters. The ordered phase for J>0 can be stable up to k_{B}T/|J|≈0.06.

Phase transitions and critical properties in the antiferromagnetic Ising model on a layered triangular lattice with allowance for intralayer next-nearest-neighbor interactions

М. К. Бадиев, Akai Kurbanovich Murtazaev, Рамазанов Магомедшейх Курбанович

The phase transitions (PTs) and critical properties of the antiferromagnetic Ising model on a layered (stacked) triangular lattice have been studied by the Monte Carlo method using a replica algorithm with allowance for the next-nearest-neighbor interactions. The character of PTs is analyzed using the histogram technique and the method of Binder cumulants. It is established that the transition from the disordered to paramagnetic phase in the adopted model is a second-order PT. Static critical exponents of the heat capacity (α), susceptibility (γ), order parameter (β), and correlation radius (ν) and the Fischer exponent η are calculated using the finite-size scaling theory. It is shown that (i) the antiferromagnetic Ising model on a layered triangular lattice belongs to the XY universality class of critical behavior and (ii) allowance for the intralayer interactions of next-nearest neighbors in the adopted model leads to a change in the universality class of critical behavior.
