Phase Diagrams of the Transverse Ising Model with Anisotropic Crystal-Field
Wei Hua Guo
Abstract
The spin 3/2 transverse Ising model with anisotropic crystal field on honeycomb lattice (z=3) has been studied by using the effective field theory with correlations. The general expressions for evaluating the second order phase transition temperatures are obtained. The results show that both the transverse field and crystal field have important effects on the phase diagram of the Ising system. The transition temperatures do not always fall to zero when Ω/|J|0 457. They approach a constant value 0 525 for large negative D(D→-∞) without transverse field (Ω=0). On the other hand, it is shown that all phase transformations are second order.
