Anisotropy-temperature phase diagram for the two-dimensional dipolar Heisenberg model with and without magnetic field

Abstract

We investigate phase transitions in the two-dimensional dipolar Heisenberg model with uniaxial anisotropy with a specific ratio between the exchange and dipolar constants, $\delta =1$. We obtain the $\eta$--$T$ (anisotropy vs. temperature) phase diagrams for typical values of magnetic field by a Monte Carlo method with an $O(N)$ algorithm. We find that at lower fields, the $\eta$--$T$ phase diagram consists of the planar ferromagnetic (F), (perpendicular) stripe-ordered (SO), and paramagnetic (P) phases, and is characterized by the triple point. In the SO phase realized at larger $\eta$ and smaller $T$, the SO pattern changes depending on the field. On the other hand, we find that at higher fields, the SO phase does not exist, while the planer F phase robustly remains. We study the properties of the phase boundaries by employing finite-size-scaling analyses. We find that the slope of the spin-reorientation-transition line is positive with and without field, i.e., $\frac{d\eta }{dT}>0$, which implies that the planar F phase changes to the SO phase with lowering temperature. In the phase diagrams we observe a characteristic shape of the P--planer F phase-transition line, whose maximum point of $\eta$ is located at an intermediate temperature. This structure leads to the temperature-induced reentrant transition associated with P and planar F phases, which appears in successive phase transitions with lowering temperature: P $\to$ planar F $\to$ P $\to$ SO phase at lower fields and P $\to$ planar F $\to$ P phases at higher fields.
