Super Antiferromagneto de Ising com campo uniforme

Abstract

The phase diagram of the two-dimensional super-antiferromagnetic (SAF) Ising model in the presence of a magnetic field is investigated within the framework of a real-space renormalization-group approximation. We consider nearest neighbor ferromagnetic interactions along the x(y) direction and antiferromagnetic interactions in the y(x) direction. The system presents a ordered phase at low temperatures and zero fields. The presence of a magnetic field induces a competition between the energy interactions of the SAF Hamiltonian. The resulting behavior has been a matter of controversy in the last years. We depicted the main results in the magnetic field versus temperature phase diagram. A second-order transition line separates a super-antiferromagnetic phase from a field induced ferromagnetic phase. Our study reveals that the magnetic field induces a phase transition at a single temperature value, thus, we did not find any evidence of reentrant behavior as claimed by some authors.
