Metastable states in the triangular-lattice Ising model studied by Monte Carlo simulations: Application to the spin-chain compound Ca[subscript 3]Co[subscript 2]O[subscript 6]
It is well known that the spin-chain compound Ca[subscript 3]Co[subscript 2]O[subscript 6] exhibits interesting plateaus in the magnetization as a function of the magnetic field at low temperatures. The origin of them is still controversial. In this paper, we study the thermal behavior of this compo...
