Abstract
The authors study the low temperature phases of the two-dimensional ANNNI model in an external field. A new type of melting mechanism due to hard walls is found and special Lifshitz-type multicritical points are predicted. For strong attraction between elementary units of different periodicity the dimerisation process leads to a phase diagram typical for an XXZ chain.
