Mean-field phase diagrams of $AT_2X_2$ compounds

Condensed Matter 2009-10-22 v1

Abstract

Magnetic-field -- temperature phase diagrams of the axial next-nearest-neighbor Ising model are calculated within the framework of a Landau-type expansion of the free energy derived from molecular-field theory. Good qualitative agreement is found with recently reported results on body-centered-tetragonal UPd2Si2UPd_2Si_2. This work is expected to also be relevant for related compounds.
