Monte Carlo study of the anisotropic three-dimensional Heisenberg model in a crystal field

Abstract: We study the phase diagram of the three-dimensional classical ferromagnetic Heisenberg model with an easyplane crystalline anisotropy and an easy-axis exchange anisotropy through Monte Carlo simulations. We employ the Metropolis algorithm together with single-histogram techniques in order to characterize the transitions in each region of the phase diagram. Our results reveal, besides the disordered phase, the existence of Ising-like and XY-like ordered phases which are separated by a first-order transition lin… Show more

“…For the exchange anisotropy, we stick to the parametrization J x = J y = J (1 + ) and J z ≡ J . Studies of the model (A1) have appeared before in the literature [21,22], and we complement these results here.…”

“…In Fig. 2 (right) we show the in-plane magnetization variation according as the temperature, hence it is evident that the in-plane ordering of the magnetic spins is quasi-absent in this particular case, in agreement with the previous works [24]. Fig.…”

“…In particular, it has been recently shown [4] that the multicritical point of the three-dimensional XXZ antiferromagnetic model on a cubic lattice in an external field is, in fact, despite previous debates, a bicritical point whose universality class is the same as the three-dimensional Heisenberg model. On the other hand, Andrade et al [2] have located the bicritical point on the three-dimensional anisotropic Heisenberg model in a crystal field corroborating our previous preliminary location at (D,T) = [3.95(4), 1.73 (3)] [3], where D is the crystal field in units of the exchange interaction and T is the temperature in units of the ratio of the exchange interaction and the Boltzmann constant. Those authors also claim that this point belongs to the three-dimensional Heisenberg universality class.…”
