We use Monte Carlo simulations to study the XXZ Heisenberg antiferromagnet in a field in order to clearly determine the nature of the multicritical point. We use a hybrid sampling method with Metropolis and Wolff-cluster algorithms, along with histogram reweighting techniques. Staggered magnetization susceptibilities, Binder cumulants, and finite-size scaling are considered in an effort to detect a possible biconical phase. An analysis of the probability distribution of the magnetization allowed us to conclude that the multicritical point is bicritical and it is in the three-dimensional Heisenberg universality class.
我们使用蒙特卡罗模拟来研究处于磁场中的XXZ海森堡反铁磁体,以便明确确定多临界点的性质。我们采用了结合 metropolis 和 Wolff 团簇算法的混合采样方法,以及直方图重加权技术。为了检测可能的双锥形相,我们考虑了交错磁化率、Binder 累积量和有限尺寸标度。对磁化概率分布的分析使我们得出结论,多临界点是双临界的,且它属于三维海森堡普适类。
