Magnetic Phase Diagram of the Ferromagnetically Stacked Triangular Ising Antiferromagnet
Abstract
Histogram Monte-Carlo simulation results are presented for the magnetic-field -- temperature phase diagram of the Ising model on a stacked triangular lattice with antiferromagnetic intraplane and ferromagnetic interplane interactions. Finite-size scaling results for this frustrated system at three points along the paramagnetic transition boundary are presented which strongly suggest a line of triciritcal points at low field and a first-order transition line at higher fields. These results are compared with the corresponding phase diagrams from conventional mean-field theory as well as from the Monte Carlo mean-field calculations of Netz and Berker [Phys. Rev. Lett. {\bf 66}, 377 (1991)].
