Devil’s staircase behavior of a dimer adsorption model
Tóm tắt
We have constructed the simple two-dimensional adsorption model with short range non-competing interactions which demonstrates devil’s staircase of phase transitions. The main factor which leads to the appearance of infinite amount of ordered structures in our model is two competing forms of adsorption. The ground state properties of the model have been analyzed.
