Abstract

The energies and the spin configurations of the ground states of the classical Heisenberg and classical planar (XY) models with first- and second-neighbor interactions on the triangular and plane hexagonal lattices are obtained. The phase diagrams in theJ 1J 2 plane are determined, whereJ 1 andJ 2 are the coefficients of the first- and second-neighbor interactions, respectively. It is noted for the system on the plane hexagonal lattice, that an infinite degeneracy of the ground states occurs in some region of theJ 1J 2 plane and then the study is made under an introduction of an infinitesimal third-neighbor interaction, removing the degeneracy.
