Three-state chiral Potts models on the triangular lattice: a Monte Carlo study

The phase transition of the three-state chiral Potts model is investigated by Monte Carlo simulations performed on two types of isotropic triangular lattices of various linear sizes up to 128. These two types of model are shown to have different phase diagrams. In addition, the critical antifferomag...

Description
Summary:The phase transition of the three-state chiral Potts model is investigated by Monte Carlo simulations performed on two types of isotropic triangular lattices of various linear sizes up to 128. These two types of model are shown to have different phase diagrams. In addition, the critical antifferomagnetic point is analyzed in detail.
