Abstract
The magnetic properties of the Ising mixture of a site model of A and B atoms, of which the magnetic moments, spins, concentrations and exchange energies are mu A , mu B , S A , S B , p A , p B , J AA , J AB and J BB , are investigated. As examples, mixtures with S=1 and S= 1 / 2 , the former of which has the anisotropy D, are studied by the distribution function method in the Bethe approximation. The critical temperature (phase boundary between the paramagnetic (P)-ferromagnetic (F) and paramagnetic-antiferromagnetic (AF) phases), the energy and the zero-field susceptibility in the paramagnetic phase are obtained. They are expressed in terms of generalised Brillouin functions as a natural extension of the S= 1 / 2 Ising model and the classical Heisenberg model.
