Abstract
Magnetic phenomena of the two-dimensional anisotropic antiferromagnetic Ising model in both uniform longitudinal (H) and uniform transverse (Ω) magnetic fields are studied by employing a mean-field variational approach based on Bogoliubov inequality for the free energy. The phase diagrams in the magnetic fields and temperature (T) planes, namely H−T and Ω−T, are analyzed on an anisotropic square lattice for some values of the ratio α=Jy/Jx, where Jx and Jy are, respectively, the exchange interactions along the x and y directions. Depending on the range of the Hamiltonian parameters, one has only second-order transition lines, only first-order transition lines, or both first- and second-order transition lines with the presence of tricritical points. In addition, the corresponding phase diagrams are free from any reentrant behavior.
