Abstract
A mean-field theory for the ordering of hydrogen molecules on a triangular net is derived in terms of the quadrupole coupling constant Γ, the crystal field Vc, and the temperature T. The phase diagram consists of six regions, separated by firstand second-order transitions. For almost all values of Vc/Γ for which ordering occurs, the disordered to ordered phase transition is continuous. At T=0 K, all phases have energy gaps except for a ferrorotational phase which behaves like an XY model.
