Abstract
We study the phase diagram and magnetic properties of a transverse spin-1 Ising model with random longitudinal crystal-field interactions using an expansion technique for cluster identities of spin-1 localized spin systems. Partially ordered phases appear for a particular two valued distribution P(D i )=1/2( delta (D i -(1+ alpha )D)+ delta (D i -(1- alpha )D)), and sufficiently small transverse field Omega . The longitudinal and transverse magnetizations and the quadrupolar moments are calculated. General formulae, applicable to structures with arbitrary coordination number N, are given.
