Abstract
The three-dimensional axial next-nearest-neighbor Ising model, which is composed of alternately stacked ferromagnetic spin-1/2 and spin-1 layers with competing interlayer interactions along the c-axis, is studied by using the Monte Carlo (MC) calculation. The partially disordered phases predicted in the previous molecular field calculation is numerically confirmed by the investigation of the temperature and lattice-size dependencies of magnetization together with those of intra- and inter-layer spin-correlations by the MC calculation.
