Abstract

The square Ising ferromagnet is investigated by computer simulation in the region of competing interactions (nearest-neighbor interaction K >0 and second-neighbor one K '<0). Spontaneous magnetization M 0 and energy E are calculated from advanced Monte Carlo calculations. The estimates of M 0 and of the Curie point T c ( K '/ K ) determined by analyzing the data on E are compared with the results from analysis of low-temperature series based on the assumption β=1/8. The values of T c ( K '/ K ) are obtained from padé-approximant method for low-temperature series. The value of β does not vary from the Onsager's value 1/8.
