Inspired by the work by Kämmerer, Dünweg, Binder, and d'Onorio de Meo we investigated the spin-[Formula: see text] Ising antiferromagnet on a fcc lattice in a homogeneous external magnetic field H with uniform nearest-neighbor interaction J by Monte Carlo simulations. In order to answer the open question whether this system exhibits a triple point or a multicritical point for positive H, we mainly studied lattices with 4 · 323 and 4 · 723 spins. We found a multicritical point at (Hc, kBTc) = (3.49 ± 0.02, 1.02 ± 0.01) J in the thermodynamic limit.

ABSTRACTWe have partially solved the ground state problem of binary alloys on the fcc lattice with pair interactions up to the fourth nearest neighbor distance. Our results extend the study presented by Kanamori and Kakehashi [1], releasing the constraint they imposed on the nearest neighbor correlation. The solution we present increases the number of possible ground state structures by an order of magnitude with respect to previous results. We have applied both the polyhedron and the enumeration method. The latter proved more powerful when including interactions beyond the second nearest neighbor distance.

We have generalized the code method of Sykes et al. and applied it to the Ising model with nearest and next nearest neighbor interactions. On the bcc lattice, we have obtained the first seven low temperature polynomials for arbitrary sign of the interactions. Special cases of this model are the Ising ferromagnet and the Ising antiferromagnet with next nearest neighbor ferromagnetic interactions. The latter system exhibits a tricritical point which we plan to study using our low temperature data and high temperature series to be obtained in the future.
