Abstract: | The Ising model on a compressible triangular lattice with axial next-nearestneighbor interactions is studied in the mean-field approximation. A representative phase diagram is generated, which exhibits first- and second-order phase transitions to commensurate modulated phases. The crossover point from first to second order transitions is calculated. The stability of the modulated phases is calculated analytically in a low-temperature approximation. These results are very different from the ANNNI model, which exhibits a second-order transition to a continuum of commensurate and incommensurate phases. |
