The Monte Carlo method was used to study phase transitions, magnetic and thermodynamic properties of the three-dimensional antiferromagnetic Heisenberg model on a layered triangular lattice in a magnetic field. The studies were carried out in the range of variation of the magnetic field value 0≤h≤12. The magnetic structures of the ground state are obtained in a wide range of magnetic field values. The character of phase transitions is determined on the basis of the histogram method of data analysis. It was found that in the range 0≤h≤10, a first-order phase transition is realized. It is shown that a further increase in the magnetic field value removes the degeneracy of the ground state and smears out the phase transition.
