Abstract
The ground states of the general three-state lattice-gas (equivalently, S = 1 Ising) model with nearest-neighbor interactions on a square lattice are explored in the full, five-dimensional parameter space of three interaction constants and two generalized chemical potentials or fields. The complete catalog of fifteen topologically different ground-state diagrams (zero-temperature phase diagrams), which show the regions of stability of the different ground states in the full parameter space of the model, is obtained and discussed in both lattice-gas and Ising-spin language. The results extend those of a recent study in a reduced parameter space [V. F. Fefelov, et al., Phys. Chem. Chem. Phys., 2018, 20, 10359–10368], which identified six topologically different ground-state diagrams.
