Phase Transitions
The possibility of detection of finite temperature stripe ordering in 2D spinless Falicov–Kimball model
L. Dębski
Abstract
This paper announces a possibility of detection of finite-temperature stripe ordering in the two-dimensional Falicov–Kimball model at half-filling by extensive Monte Carlo simulations. Moreover, the tools to study orderings and to detect phase transition temperatures are presented. The use of Binder's cumulant is supplemented by finite-size magnetization profiles not analyzed previously in this context. Continuous character of phase transitions is announced. Analyses proving the existence of more complicated phases of finite-temperature stripe ordering than the checkerboard one conclude the paper.
