Field induced magnetic phase transitions: models for competing interactions

Abstract: Field induced phase transitions in antiferromagnets have provided a rich source of theoretical and experimental studies over the past three decades. They illustrate physical effects characteristic of the competition between different interactions, which require correspondingly more complex models than the classical phase transitions. A relatively simple new model is described, which contains some of the essential features needed to describe an unusual class of antiferromagnets, in which a uniform magnetic field can couple to the antiferromagnetic order parameter. The model may also be useful for studying first order phase transitions.
