用Monte Carlo方法研究轴向次近邻Ising和Ising-Coulomb模型的微相

A Monte Carlo Approach for Studying Microphases Applied to the Axial Next-Nearest-Neighbor Ising and the Ising-Coulomb Models

Kai Zhang, Patrick Charbonneau

摘要:

众所周知,微相形成系统的平衡相行为很难获得,因为它们的调制相的扩展亚稳性。在本文中,我们提出了一个系统的模拟方法,研究层状微相和应用的方法,两个原型的晶格为基础的系统:三维轴向次近邻伊辛(ANNNI)和伊辛库仑(IC)模型。该方法涉及沿着在有序场下的自由自旋的参考系和感兴趣的系统之间建立的可逆路径进行积分。由此产生的自由能计算明确地定位相边界。简单的阶段没有观察到发挥特别重要的作用,在魔鬼的花朵。利用广义序参量,研究了ANNNI模型的顺磁调制临界跃迁。我们证实了XY的顺磁调制过渡的普遍性和各向同性的性质。发现界面粗糙化在ANNNI层状制度中至多起很小的作用。

英文摘要:

The equilibrium phase behavior of microphase-forming systems is notoriously difficult to obtain because of the extended metastability of their modulated phases. In this paper we present a systematic simulation methodology for studying layered microphases and apply the approach to two prototypical lattice-based systems: the three-dimensional axial next-nearest-neighbor Ising (ANNNI) and Ising-Coulomb (IC) models. The method involves thermodynamically integrating along a reversible path established between a reference system of free spins under an ordering field and the system of interest. The resulting free energy calculations unambiguously locate the phase boundaries. The simple phases are not observed to play a particularly significant role in the devil's flowers. With the help of generalized order parameters, the paramagnetic-modulated critical transition of the ANNNI model is also studied. We confirm the XY universality of the paramagnetic-modulated transition and its isotropic nature. Interfacial roughening is found to play at most a small role in the ANNNI layered regime.
