Abstract

We study the ground state (GS) and the phase transition in a hexagonal-close-packed lattice with both XY and Ising models by using extensive Monte Carlo simulation. We suppose the in-plane interaction J₁ and inter-plane interaction J₂, both antiferromagnetic. The system is frustrated with two kinds of GS configuration below and above a critical value of η=J₁/J₂ (η_c). For the Ising case, one has η_c=0.5 which separates in-plane ferromagnetic and antiferromagnetic states, while for the XY case η_c=1/3 separates the collinear and non collinear spin configurations. The phase transition is shown to be of first (second) order for η> (
