We consider random q-state Potts models for $3\le q \le 8$ on the square lattice where the ferromagnetic couplings take two values $J_1>J_2$ with equal probabilities. For any q the model exhibits a continuous phase transition both in the…

We present numerical results for the $J_1$-$J_2$ Heisenberg model on a triangular lattice at finite temperatures $T>0$. In contrast to unfrustrated lattices we reach much lower $T \sim 0.15 J_1$. In static quantities the novel feature is a…
Magnetic frustration can lead to peculiar magnetic orderings that break a discrete symmetry of the lattice in addition to the fundamental magnetic symmetries (i.e., spin rotation invariance and time-reversal symmetry). In this work, we…
