Two-point correlation function for the triangular Ising antiferromagnet.
A number of aspects of the two-point correlation behavior of the nearest-neighbor, triangular Ising antiferromagnet are studied using a combination of numerical evaluation of exact expressions and Monte Carlo simulation. Existing asymptotic results for on-axis correlations at finite temperatures are evaluated and shown to be of limited accuracy. The sublattice structure of the off-axis correlation function is clarified, and rotational invariance is studied as a function of temperature. Separations and temperatures for which the correlation function is significant are identified, and a simple functional expression is developed that allows accurate calculation of the correlation function in this region.
