The mean field theory of the three-dimensional ANNNI model

  • Published:
Zeitschrift für Physik B Condensed Matter

Abstract

The mean field equations of the simple cubic or tetragonal ANNNI model are studied on finite lattices. Structure combination branching processes are found which allow us to considerably refine previous mean field calculations on the model.
