The Monte-Carlo method is applied to a sample consisting of 256 linear point-quadrupoles, whose centers are fixed on a face-centered cubic lattice with the usual boundary conditions; the quadrupole interaction is characterized by an energy . The electrostatic energy is evaluated by means of Ewald-Kornfeld’s method. Results are given for energy, specific heat and order parameters and compared with previous papers on the subject. A first-order phase transition is found at T=(1±1)Γ/kB.

Abstract Monte-Carlo calculations were carried out on a system consisting of 256 point-dipoles, whose centres are fixed in a two-dimensional square lattice with the usual boundary con­dition; the Epstein-Ewald-Kornfeld algorithm was used in evaluating the electrostatic energy. No evidence of a first-order phase transition was found, and the results suggest there might be a second-order one. Additional calculations were carrierd out using the mean-field theory, which was found to overestimate the transition temperature by about a factor two.

The replica exchange algorithm of the Monte Carlo method was used to study phase transitions and thermodynamic properties of the two-dimensional Potts model with the number of spin states q = 4 on a hexagonal lattice in weak magnetic fields. The studies were carried out for the interval of the magnetic field value 0.0 ≤ Н ≤ 3.0 with a step of 1.0. It is found that a first-order phase transition is observed in the considered range of field values.
