Monte Carlo investigation of the tricritical point stability in a three-dimensional Ising metamagnet

Abstract
We use Monte Carlo simulations to study multicritical properties of an Ising metamagnet in an external field. According to the mean field theory predictions, a three-dimensional layered metamagnet is expected to display a tricritical point decomposition to a critical endpoint and a bicritical endpoint, when a ratio between intralayer ferromagnetic and interlayer antiferromagnetic couplings becomes sufficiently small. Our simulations show no evidence of such a decomposition and produce a tricritical behaviour even for a coupling ratio as small as R=0.01.
