Abstract
Abstract Within the framework of the effective‐field theory with correlations, a spin‐$ {3 \over 2} $ transverse Ising model in the longitudinal random‐field on a honeycomb lattice is studied. The phase diagrams and the behavior of the tricritical point are examined. The possible re‐entrance phenomena displayed by the system due to the competition effects that occur for the appropriate ranges of the random and transverse field are investigated. The longitudinal and transverse magnetizations, the longitudinal quadrupolar moments and internal energy are given numerically for a honeycomb lattice (z = 3). (© 2004 WILEY‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co.
