| contents | Ordered states for a classical Heisenberg model on fcc lattice structure with ABC stacked kagome planes of magnetic ions are investigated by numerically solving the Landau-Lifshitz (LL) equation. Both the nearest-neighbor exchange interaction and the magnetic dipolar interactions are included in the model. The model with only the nearest-neighbor antiferromagnetic exchange interaction is known to show the layered 120 degree spin structure. On the other hand, the model with only the magnetic dipolar interactions is known to exhibit a continuous degeneracy expressed by six sublattice spin vectors, which is reduced by an order-by-disorder process with thermal fluctuations. In the present study, other ordered states appear for various values of relative strength of the two kinds of the interactions. A vortex spin structure on hexagonal lattice points in the kagomeplanes is a novel one. Another ordered state may be glassy state in which apparent translational symmetry cannot be seen. Layered 120 degree spin structures but not uniform in the direction perpendicular to the kagome planes with various period in the direction appear depending on the relative strength of the two kinds of the interactions. |
