Abstract
In this work we study a two-dimensional XXZ-Ising spin-1/2 model with quartic interactions. The model is composed of a two-dimensional lattice of edge-sharing unitary cells, where each cell consists of two triangular prisms, converging in a basal plane with four Ising spin-1/2 (open circles); the apical positions are also occupied by four Heisenberg spin-1/2 (solid circles). Interaction of the base plane containing the multispin Ising interaction has the parameter , and the other pairwise interactions have parameter . For the proposed model we construct the phase diagram at zero temperature and give all possible spin configurations. In addition, we investigate two regions where the model can be solved exactly, the free fermion condition (FFC) and the symmetrical eight-vertex condition (SEVC). For this purpose we perform a straightforward mapping for a zero-field eight-vertex model. The necessary conditions for the equivalence are analyzed for all ranges of the interaction parameters. Unfortunately, the present model does not satisfy the FFC unless the trivial case; however, it was possible to give a region where the model can be solved approximately. We study the SEVC and verify that this condition is always satisfied. We also explore and discuss the critical conditions giving the region where these critical points are relevant.
