Bethe lattice approach study of the mixed spin-1/2 and spin-7/2 Ising model in a longitudinal magnetic field

Abstract

The magnetic properties of the mixed spin-1 2 and spin-7 2 Ising model with a crystal-field in a longitudinal magnetic field are investigated on the Bethe lattice using exact recursion relations. The ground-state phase diagram is constructed. The temperature-dependent one is displayed in the case of uniform crystal-field on the (k B T/|J |, D/|J |) plane in the absence of the external constraint for lattice coordination numbers z = 3, 4, 6.The order parameters and corresponding response functions as well as the internal energy are calculated and examined in detail in order to feature the real nature of phase boundaries and corresponding temperatures. The thermal variations of the average magnetization are classified according to the Néel nomenclature.

Phase diagrams and critical behaviours of the mixed spin-5/2 and spin-7/2 Ising system

“…At compensation points, the system cannot interact with external fields. The effect of the single-ion anisotropy (crystal field) strength on critical and compensation properties has been theoretically studied by several authors using statistical-mechanical techniques: mean-field (MF) theory [20,21], Monte Carlo (MC) simulations [22,23], effective-field (EF) theory [24,25], Bethe lattice approach with exact recursion relations [26,27], etc., (see detailed references in [28]). An obvious way to solve the two-dimensional mixed spin Ising model is to map it onto an exactly solved one.…”
