New Phases and Multiple Re-entrance of the Blume-Emery-Griffiths Model with Repulsive Biquadratic Coupling: Monte Carlo Renormalization-Group Theory

Roland R. Netz

We studied the spin-1 Ising model on cubic lattices for repulsive biquadratic coupling using Monte Carlo renormalization-group techniques. Two complete phase diagrams are obtained featuring the ferromagnetic, the antiquadrupolar, and–in a narrow region–the novel ferrimagnetic phase. All three phases exhibit re-entrance upon lowering the temperature; in the case of the ferromagnetic phase, double re-entrance is observed.

Blume-Capel Ising ferromagnet with competing crystal-field interactions

Daniel P. Snowman

This investigation employs a hierarchical lattice and renormalization-group methodology to probe the effects of competing crystal-field interactions in a Blume-Capel Ising system. Several phase diagrams have been produced in temperature-crystal-field space as the strength of the competing crosslink crystal-field interactions is varied. Each sink has been interpreted and critical exponents have been calculated for the higher-order transitions.

A Dilute Ising Ferromagnet on a Hierarchical Lattice with Attractive Biquadratic Interactions

Snowman, Daniel P.

This paper considers a dilute Ising ferromangnet with annealed vacancies and attractive biquadratic interactions. Phase diagrams have been calculated while varying the temperature and concentration of annealed vacancies in the system while maintaining constant, attractive biquadratic couplings. These results have been produced using renormalization group analysis with a hierarchical lattice. Critical exponents have been calculated and each basin of attraction interpreted.
