Abstract
"We used a Monte Carlo simulation to analize the magnetic behavior of Ising model of mixed spins S A i = ß3=2 ; ß1=2 and æ B j = ß 5 = 2 ; ß 3 = 2 ; ß 1 = 2 , on a square lattice. Were studied the possible critical phenomena that may emerge in the region around the multiphase point (D= j J 1 j = ° 3 ;J 2 = j J 1 j = 1) and the dependence of the phase diagrams with the intensities of the anisotropy field of single ion (D= j J 1 j ) and the ferromagnetic coupling of exchange spin S A i (J 2 = j J 1 j). The system displays first order phase transitions in a certain range of the parameters of the Hamiltonian, which depend on D= j J 1 j and j J 2 = j J 1 j . In the plane (D= j J 1 j ;k B T= j J 1 j), the de- crease of j D= j J 1 jj , implies that the critical temperature, T c , increases and the first order transition temperature, T t , decreases. In the plane (J2 = j J 1 j ;k B T= j J 1 j ), T c increases with the increasing of J 2 = j J 1 j , while that T t decreases."
