摘要： We use the Monte Carlo method to study an antiferromagnetical Ising spin system on a centred honeycomb lattice, which is composed of two kinds of 1/2 spin particles A and B. There exist two different bond energies JA-A and JA-B in this lattice. Our study is focused on how the ratio of JA-B to JA-A influences the critical behaviour of this system by analysing the physical quantities, such as the energy, the order parameter, the specific heat, susceptibility, {etc} each as a function of temperature for a given ratio of JA-B to JA-A. Using these results together with the finite-size scaling method, we obtain a phase diagram for the ratio JA-B / JA-A. This work is helpful for studying the phase transition problem of crystals composed of compounds.

Abstract: We use the Monte Carlo method to study an antiferromagnetical Ising spin system on a centred honeycomb lattice, which is composed of two kinds of 1/2 spin particles A and B. There exist two different bond energies $J_{\rm A -  A}$ and $J_{\rm A - B}$ in this lattice. Our study is focused on how the ratio of $J_{\rm A - B}$ to $J_{\rm A - A }$ influences the critical behaviour of this system by analysing the physical quantities, such as the energy,  the order parameter, the specific heat, susceptibility, {etc} each as a function of temperature for a given ratio of $J_{\rm A - B}$ to $J_{\rm A - A}$. Using these results together with the finite-size scaling method, we  obtain a phase diagram for the ratio $J_{\rm A - B}$ / $J_{\rm A - A}$. This work is helpful for studying the phase transition problem of crystals composed of compounds.
