Investigation of the critical properties of the frustrated Heisenberg model on a triangular lattice by the Monte Carlo method

Abstract

The critical properties of the 3D frustrated antiferromagnetic Heisenberg model on a triangular lattice have been investigated by the replica Monte Carlo method. All main magnetic and chiral critical indices were calculated using the finite-size scaling theory. It is found that the class of universality of the critical behavior of the model studied depends on the type of interplane exchange interaction.
