Phase diagram for a random mixture of competing Ising anisotropies

Abstract
We study a ferromagnetic system in which each bond can be either of the Ising type (σZσZ) or of anisotropic Heisenberg (Ising σZσZ-like) type, at random with respective concentrations (1p) and p. A global phase diagram in the temperature-anisotropy-concentration space is obtained within the Migdal-Kadanoff approximation. For the paramagnetically ordered transitions, our results for the critical temperature as a function of p agree very well with those obtained experimentally for Fe1pCopCl2· 2H2O.
