Thermodynamic and Magnetic Properties of the Two-Dimensional Anisotropic Ising Model with Competing Interactions

Resumo

The two-dimensional anisotropic Ising model with competing interactions is studied on a square lattice by Monte Carlo methods using the Wang–Landau algorithm. The temperature dependences of the main thermodynamic and magnetic parameters are calculated. The distinctive features of temperature dependences of these parameters for different values of the competing interaction are shown. The dependences of the wave number of modulated structures on the ratio of exchange interaction parameters are plotted. The phase diagram of the model is built. The coordinates of the Lifshits point and the localization region of the phases with different wave vector values are calculated by interpolating phase boundaries of the d-iagram.
