Resumen
Motivated by the rich phase diagram of the high-temperature superconductors, we introduce a pseudospin model with three state variables which can be interpreted as two states (spin ±1/2) particles and holes. The Hamiltonian has a term which favors antiferromagnetism and an additional competing interaction which favors bonding between pairs of antiparallel spins mediated by holes. For low concentration of holes the dominant interaction between particles has antiferromagnetic character, leading to an antiferromagnetic phase in the temperature-hole concentration phase diagram, qualitatively similar to the antiferromagnetic phase of doped Mott insulators. For growing concentration of holes antiferromagnetic order is weakened and a phase with a different kind of order mediated by holes appears. This last phase has the form of a dome in the T-hole concentration plane. The whole phase diagram resembles those of some families of high-Tc superconductors. We compute the phase diagram in the mean-field approximation and characterize the different phase transitions through Monte Carlo simulations.
