Monte Carlo study of first-order transition in Heisenberg fcc antiferromagnet
Abstract
Nearest-neighbor Heisenberg antiferromagnet on a face-centered cubic lattice is studied by extensive Monte Carlo simulations in zero magnetic field. The parallel tempering algorithm is utilized, which allows to overcome a slow relaxation of the magnetic order parameter and fully equilibrate moderate size clusters with up to N ~ 7*103 spins. By collecting energy and order parameter histograms on clusters with up to N ~ 2*104 sites we accurately locate the first-order transition point at Tc=0.4459(1)J.
