Abstract

The phase transitions and thermodynamic properties of the clock model with q = 5 spin states on a triangular lattice have been investigated using the Wang–Landau Monte Carlo algorithm. The phase transitions have been analyzed with the histogram method and the fourth-order Binder cumulant method. Two Berezinskii–Kosterlitz–Thouless phase transitions are shown to be observed in the ferromagnetic clock model, while a second-order phase transition has been detected in the antiferromagnetic clock model.
