Abstract
Abstract The static critical behavior of a 2D decorated ferromagnetic Ising model on a triangular lattice has been investigated by the methods of computational physics. For nodal spins, ferromagnetic exchange interaction between the first nearest neighbors and antiferromagnetic interaction between the next nearest neighbors have been taken into account. Exchange interaction Jd between nodal and decorated spins varies within [–3.0, 3.0]. For different values of Jd, the ground state of the model has been determined, critical temperatures have been calculated, and a phase diagram has been constructed. It has been shown that the magnitude of exchange interaction with decorated spins influences the type of phase transition to the paramagnetic state.
