Heisenberg antiferromagnets with exchange and on-site anisotropies — •Thanh-Chung Dinh1, Reinhard Folk1, David Peters2, and Walter Selke21Institut für Theoretische Physik, JKU Linz, Austria — 2Institut für Theoretische Physik, JARA-SIM and RWTH Aachen, Germany

We study Heisenberg antiferromagnets in a field with exchange and quadratic as well as quartic on-site anisotropies. Using, especially ground state considerations and Monte Carlo techniques for classical magnets on cubic lattices, we determine generic phase diagrams comprising antiferromagnetic, spin-flop, biconical, and paramagnetic phases. A variety of critical and multicritical scenarios are elucidated. Our results are compared to findings on related classical and quantum anisotropic antiferromagnets in lower dimensions.

Supported by the Austrian Fonds zur Förderung der wissenschaftlichen Forschung, project No. 19583-N20, and by the excellence initiative of the German federal and state governments.
