Theoretical investigations of two-dimensional magnets

This Thesis addresses the thermodynamic behaviour of two-dimensional mag nets. The objective is to evaluate the role played by external perturbations in these systems by use of analytical and computational techniques. To this end, extensive Monte Carlo simulations have been performed on Ising, XY an...
