Stacked Triangular XY Antiferromagnets: End of a Controversial Issue on the Phase Transition
arXiv:0711.0296
Abstract
We show in this paper by using the Wang-Landau flat-histogram Monte Carlo method that the phase transition in the XY stacked triangular antiferromagnet is clearly of first-order, confirming results from latest Monte Carlo simulation and from a nonperturbative renormalization group, putting an end to a long-standing controversial issue.
