The Falicov-Kimball model is commonly used as one of the simplest possible models to study the metal-insulator transition. Recently, it has been shown that the half-filled Falicov-Kimball model on the square lattice, above the charge order transition, has a richer phase diagram than originally anticipated [1].
In this talk we present the extension of these results to the triangular lattice. In particular, for 1/3 filling, we find that the high temperature disordered phases are similar to those found for the half-filled square lattice.
At low temperatures and large coupling, the ordered phase has a broken Z3 symmetry and the transition into this state is of the same universality as the three-state Potts model.
We investigate the possibility that frustration effects in the weak-coupling regime and at low temperatures may destroy the Z3-broken phase and induce other kinds of ordered or liquid states.
