Density of States and the Ground State Structure in the Ising Model on a Kagome Lattice with Consideration for Next-Nearest-Neighbor Interaction

详细

Phase transitions and thermodynamic properties have been studied in the two-dimensional antiferromagnetic Ising model on a Kagome lattice by the Monte Carlo method with consideration for both nearest- and next-nearest-neighbor interaction. Using the histogram data analysis method, it has been shown that the studied model is characterized by a second-order phase transition. The temperature dependence of thermodynamic parameters has been revealed to exhibit abnormal behavior.
