Thermodynamic properties of a diluted triangular Ising antiferromagnet in a field
Abstract
Within the framework of the effective-field theory with correlations we investigate effects of an external magnetic field and random site dilution on basic thermodynamic quantities, such as the magnetization and the magnetic susceptibility, of the geometrically frustrated triangular lattice Ising antiferromagnet. Behavior of these quantities is presented in the temperaturefield parameter space for selected mild degrees of dilution. It is found that, besides the anomalies associated with phase transitions from the ferrimagnetic to the paramagnetic state, in some regions of the parameter space these functions display some more anomalies and peculiarities, as a result of joint effects of the geometrical frustration, magnetic dilution, thermal fluctuations and the applied magnetic field.
