The trilayered Blume-Capel ($S=1$) magnet with nearest neighbour intralayer ferromagnetic and nearest neighbour interlayer antiferromagnetic interaction is studied by Monte Carlo simulation. Depending on the relative interaction strength and the value of anisotropy the critical temperature (where all the sublattice magnetisations and consequently the total magnetisation vanishes) and the compensation temperature (where the total magnetisation vanishes for a special combination of nonzero sublattice magnetisations) are estimated. The comprehensive phase diagrams with lines of critical temperatures and compensation temperatures for different parameter values are drawn.
Transverse field effect on thermodynamic properties of the spin-3/2 Blume-Capel model on rectangular lattice in which the interactions in perpendicular directions differ in signs is studied within the mean field approximation. Phase diagrams in the (transverse field, temperature) plane are constructed for various values of single-ion anisotropy.
We study the zero temperature steady state of the random field Blume Capel model with spin-flip Glauber dynamics on a random regular graph. The magnetization m as a function of the external field H is observed to have double hysteresis loops with a return point memory. We also solve the model on a Bethe lattice in the approximation that the spin relaxation dynamics is abelian and find good agreement between simulations on random regular graphs and Bethe lattice calculations for negative values of H.
Using the approach based on the Bogoliubov inequality for free energy, we have studied the magnetic properties of the spin-3/2 Blume-Capel quantum model in the presence of the random transverse single-ion anisotropy (RTSIA). By analyzis of the phase diagrams in $τ\times φ_{x} $, $m \times φ_{x}$ and $m \times τ$ plans, we have obtained information about how the presence of anisotropy affects the properties of the system. We have shown that the RTSIA is responsible for changing the topology of the phase diagrams, compared to the pure model, leading to the appearance tricritical point (TCP).
We broaden the study of the statistical physics of the spin-$S$ Blume-Capel model with ferromagnetic mean-field interactions $J$ in competition with short-range antiferromagnetic interactions $K$ in a linear chain in the thermodynamic limit. This work describes the critical behavior of the model when the $S$ takes a half integer and an integer value. In both cases the phase diagrams exhibit new ferromagnetic phases (for certain values of $K$) enclosed by branches emerging from the first-order frontiers of the pure ferromagnetic model. For finite temperatures the complex topologies were obtaine…
We report on large-scale Wang-Landau Monte Carlo simulations of the critical behavior of two spin models in two- (2d) and three-dimensions (3d), namely the 2d random-bond Ising model and the pure 3d Blume-Capel model at zero crystal-field coupling. The numerical data we obtain and the relevant finite-size scaling analysis provide clear answers regarding the universality aspects of both models. In particular, for the random-bond case of the 2d Ising model the theoretically predicted strong universality's hypothesis is verified, whereas for the second-order regime of the Blume-Capel model, the e…
We study purely dissipative relaxational dynamics in the three-dimensional Ising universality class. To this end, we simulate the improved Blume-Capel model on the simple cubic lattice by using local algorithms. We perform a finite size scaling analysis of the integrated autocorrelation time of the magnetic susceptibility in equilibrium at the critical point. We obtain $z=2.0245(15)$ for the dynamic critical exponent. As a complement, fully magnetized configurations are suddenly quenched to the critical temperature, giving consistent results for the dynamic critical exponent. Furthermore, our …
We applied a mean-field approach associated to Monte Carlo simulations in order to study the spin-1 ferromagnetic Blume-Capel model in the square and the linear lattice. This new technique, which we call MFT-MC, determines the molecular field as the magnetization response of a Monte Carlo simulation. The resulting phase diagram is qualitatively correct, in contrast to effective-field approximations, in which the first-order line is not perpendicular to the anisotropy axis at low temperatures. Thermodynamic quantities, as the entropy and the specific heat curves can be obtained so as to analyze…
The spin-3/2 Blume-Capel model on a rectangular lattice with the ferromagnetic bilinear short-range interaction $K^{\rm F}=K(1+x)$ in one direction and the anti-ferromagnetic one $K^{\rm AF}=K(-1+x)$ in the perpendicular direction under a longitudinal magnetic field and in the presence of a single-ion anisotropy is investigated within the mean field approximation. The quantity $x$ characterizes coupling between the interactions in the perpendicular directions and its absolute value does not exceed unity. Basing on the study of temperature dependencies of sublattice magnetizations the phase dia…
We present an extensive Monte Carlo investigation of the metastable lifetime through the reversal of the magnetization of spin-$s$ Ising and Blume-Capel models, where $s=\{1/2, 1, 3/2, 2, 5/2, 3, 7/2\}$. The mean metastable lifetime (or reversal time) is studied as a function of the applied magnetic field and for both models is found to obey the Becker-Doring theory, as was initially developed for the case of $s=1/2$ Ising ferromagnet within the classical nucleation theory. Moreover, the decay of metastable volume fraction nicely follows the Avrami's law for all values of $s$ and for both mode…
We study the transient behavior of damage propagation in the two-dimensional spin-$1$ Blume-Capel model using Monte Carlo simulations with Metropolis dynamics. We find that, for a particular region in the second-order transition regime of the crystal field--temperature phase diagram of the model, the average Hamming distance decreases exponentially with time in the weakly damaged system. Additionally, its rate of decay appears to depend linearly on a number of Hamiltonian parameters, namely the crystal field, temperature, applied magnetic field, but also on the amount of damage. Finally, a com…
We review the pertinent features of the phase diagram of the zero-field Blume-Capel model, focusing on the aspects of transition order, finite-size scaling and universality. In particular, we employ a range of Monte Carlo simulation methods to study the 2D spin-1 Blume-Capel model on the square lattice to investigate the behavior in the vicinity of the first-order and second-order regimes of the ferromagnet-paramagnet phase boundary, respectively. To achieve high-precision results, we utilize a combination of (i) a parallel version of the multicanonical algorithm and (ii) a hybrid updating sch…
We investigate by means of Monte Carlo simulations the dynamic phase transition of the two-dimensional kinetic Blume-Capel model under a periodically oscillating magnetic field in the presence of a quenched random crystal-field coupling. We analyze the universality principles of this dynamic transition for various values of the crystal-field coupling at the originally second-order regime of the corresponding equilibrium phase diagram of the model. A detailed finite-size scaling analysis indicates that the observed nonequilibrium phase transition belongs to the universality class of the equilib…
We consider the two-dimensional Blume-Capel model with zero chemical potential and small magnetic field evolving on a large but finite torus. We obtain sharp estimates for the transition time, we characterize the set of critical configurations, and we prove the metastable behavior of the dynamics as the temperature vanishes.
We employ numerical simulations and finite-size scaling techniques to investigate the properties of the dynamic phase transition that is encountered in the Blume-Capel model subjected to a periodically oscillating magnetic field. We mainly focus on the study of the two-dimensional system for various values of the crystal-field coupling in the second-order transition regime. Our results indicate that the present non-equilibrium phase transition belongs to the universality class of the equilibrium Ising model and allow us to construct a dynamic phase diagram, in analogy to the equilibrium case, …
A new approximating technique is developed so as to study the quantum ferromagnetic spin-1 Blume-Capel model in the presence of a transverse crystal field in the square lattice. Our proposal consists of approaching the spin system by considering islands of finite clusters whose frontiers are surrounded by non-interacting spins that are treated by the effective-field theory. The resulting phase diagram is qualitatively correct, in contrast to most effective-field treatments, in which the first-order line exhibits spurious behavior by not being perpendicular to the anisotropy axis at low tempera…
We investigate the phase diagram for the spin-$3/2$ ferromagnetic Blume-Capel model in a transverse crystal field using the standard mean-field approximation within the framework of Bogoliubov inequality for free energy. We draw a very rich phase diagram with first- and second-order transition lines; tricritical and tetracritical points; critical endpoint of order 2 and double critical endpoint. Additionally, the behaviour of magnetisation as a function of temperature over a wide range of values of both longitudinal and transverse crystal fields is also analysed. To the best of our knowledge, …
We have revisited the mean-field treatment for the Blume-Capel model under the presence of a discrete random magnetic field as introduced by Kaufman and Kanner. The magnetic field ($H$) versus temperature ($T$) phase diagrams for given values of the crystal field $D$ were recovered in accordance to Kaufman and Kanner original work. However, our main goal in the present work was to investigate the distinct structures of the crystal field versus temperature phase diagrams as the random magnetic field is varied because similar models have presented reentrant phenomenon due to randomness. Followin…
Dynamic Phase Transition in the Kinetic Spin-3/2 Blume-Capel Model: Phase Diagrams in the Temperature and Crystal-Field Interaction Plane
我们分析，在平均场的方法内，动力学自旋3/2的Blume-Capel模型的Glauber型随机动力学和随时间变化的振荡外部磁场的定态。动态相变点是通过研究动态磁化强度作为温度的函数的行为，以及计算Liapunov指数。在温度和晶场相互作用平面上构造了相图。我们发现了五种基本类型的相图的约化磁场振幅参数（h）的不同值，其中他们提出了一个无序，两个有序相和共存相区。相图还显示出0<h<1.44的动态双临界点，1.44<h 5.06的动态三临界点<5.06 and two dynamic tricritical points for h>。
In this paper we solve the Blume-Capel model on a complete graph in the presence of random crystal field with a distribution, $P(Δ_i) =pδ(Δ_i-Δ)+(1-p) δ(Δ_i+Δ)$, using large deviation techniques. We find that the first order transition of the pure system is destroyed for $0.046<p<0.954$ for all values of the crystal field, $Δ$. The system has a line of continuous transition for this range of $p$ from $-\infty <Δ<\infty$. For values of $p$ outside this interval, the phase diagram of the system is similar to the pure model, with a tricritical point separating the line of first order and continuo…
We investigate the first-order transition in the spin-1 two-dimensional Blume-Capel model in square lattices by revisiting the transfer-matrix method. With large strip widths increased up to the size of 18 sites, we construct the detailed phase coexistence curve which shows excellent quantitative agreement with the recent advanced Monte Carlo results. In the deep first-order area, we observe the exponential system-size scaling of the spectral gap of the transfer matrix from which linearly increasing interfacial tension is deduced with decreasing temperature. We find that the first-order signat…

利用蒙特卡罗模拟研究了三角晶格上阻挫Blume-Capel（BC）反铁磁体的临界行为。对于一个减少的单离子各向异性强度$-1.47 \lesssim d < 0$，我们发现两个相变。低温相的特征是两个亚晶格上的反铁磁长程有序（LRO），第三个亚晶格保持非磁性状态。在较高的温度下，有一个临界区的Berezinskiii-Kosterlitz无（BKT）型与幂律衰减的自旋关联函数。对于$-1.5 \le d \lesssim -1.47$，从LRO到顺磁区只有一个相变，并且是一级相变。BKT相的存在下，在目前的挫折BC模型是一个新的功能，没有观察到在其非挫折的同行。的衰减指数$η$的BKT相对应的上限和较低的温度的值似乎是一致的六态时钟模型的理论预测。
The renormalization group (RG) equation in the self-consistent local potential approximation (SC-LPA) suggested earlier for the description of continuous phase transitions in lattice models of the Landau-Ginzburg type has been applied to the solution of the spin-1 Blume-Capel model on the simple cubic lattice. The calculated transition temperatures of both continuous and the first-order phase transitions (FOPTs) in zero external field have been found to be in excellent agreement with the best available estimates. It has been argued that the SC-LPA RG equation may give more accurate and complet…
We investigate the mixed-spin Blume-Capel model with spin-1/2 and spin-$S$ ($S=1$, $2$, and $3$) on the simple cubic and body-centered cubic lattices with single-ion-splitting crystal-field ($Δ$) by using the Metropolis and the Wang-Landau Monte Carlo methods. By numerical simulations, we prove that the tricritical point is spin-independent for both lattices. The positions of the tricritical point in the phase diagram are determined as ($Δ_t/J=2.978(1)$; $k_B T_t/J=0.439(1)$) and ($Δ_t/J=3.949(1)$; $k_B T_t/J=0.854(1)$) for the simple cubic and the body-centered cubic lattices, respectively. A…
The local properties of the spin one ferromagnetic Blume-Capel model defined on hierarchical lattices with dimension two and three are obtained by a numerical recursion procedure and studied as functions of the temperature and the reduced crystal-field parameter. The magnetization and the density of sites in the configuration S=0 state are carefully investigated at low temperature in the region of the phase diagram that presents the phenomenon of phase reentrance. Both order parameters undergo transitions from the ferromagnetic to the ordered paramagnetic phase with abrupt discontinuities that…
We study the Blume-Capel universality class in $d=\frac{10}{3}-ε$ dimensions. The RG flow is extracted by looking at poles in fractional dimension of three loop diagrams using $\overline{\rm MS}$. The theory is the only nontrivial universality class which admits an expansion to three dimensions with $ε=\frac{1}{3}<1$. We compute the relevant scaling exponents and estimate some of the OPE coefficients to the leading order. Our findings agree with and complement CFT results. Finally we discuss a family of nonunitary multicritical models which includes the Lee-Yang and Blume-Capel classes as spec…

The dynamical responses of Blume-Capel (S=1) ferromagnet to the plane propagating (with fixed frequency and wavelength) and standing magnetic field waves are studied sepa- rately in two dimensions by extensive Monte Carlo simulation. Depending on the values of temperature, amplitude of the propagating magnetic field and the strength of anisotropy, two different dynamical phases are observed. For a fixed value of anisotropy and the amplitude of the propagating magnetic field, the system undergoes a dynamical phase transition from a driven spin wave propagating phase to a pinned or spin frozen s…
