Abstract

The Monte Carlo method was used to study the phase transitions and thermodynamic properties of the three-dimensional antiferromagnetic Ising model on a layered triangular lattice at various values of interlayer exchange interaction. A number of investigations have been carried out for the ratios of the intralayer (J1) and interlayer (J2) exchange interactions within the range of r = J2/J1 = 0.01–1.0. The nature of the phase transitions was studied using the fourth-order Binder cumulant method and histogram data analysis. It has been shown that in the considered range r, the transition from a disordered phase to an ordered phase is a second-order phase transition.
