Abstract

Long-period modulated structures in the anisotropic Ising model with competing interactions (the ANNNI model) are studied by Monte Carlo methods. A new order parameter in the form of modulated phase amplitude is proposed for describing modulated structures. It is shown that the properties of the modulated phase-paramagnetic phase transition can be investigated by using the amplitude as the order parameter.
