Ground state energy (Ising limit):<br />
AF: N (J 2<br />
-J 1<br />
)<br />
In a simple Ising (Heisenberg) model<br />
<strong>of</strong> spins with AFM/FM first <strong>and</strong> AFM<br />
second neighbor interaction there is<br />
frustration <strong>and</strong> degeneracy near<br />

E-type: - N J 2<br />
Transition from AF to E-type at J 1<br />
= 2 J 2<br />
Same arguments hold for J 1<br />
< 0 (FM to E-type)<br />
This results in a complex phase<br />
diagram at T>0 with many<br />
commensurate <strong>and</strong> incommensurate<br />
phases<br />
