The semi-infinite spin-3/2 Blume-Capel model

Abstract: As a function of the ratio R of bulk and surface interactions and the ratio D of bulk and surface crystal field we have determined, within the framework both of the mean-field approximation and by renormalization-group techniques, various types of phase diagram of a three-dimensional semi-infinite ferromagnetic spin-3/2 Blume-Capel model. We found that there exist four main types of phase diagram showing a variety of phase transitions associated with the surface and unusual multicritical topologies, including … Show more

“…However, our phase diagram has the same behavior at low temperatures as that of the mixed spin-1/2 and spin-3/2 Ising ferrimagnetic system by using the MFA [13] and with the effective-field theory adapted to a double perovskite structure [25], the mixed spin-3/2 and spin-5/2 Ising ferrimagnetic model via the exact recursion relations on the Bethe lattice [20] and on the two-fold Cayley tree [23], and also the semi-infinite spin-3/2 Blume-Capel model by using the MFA [49]. In all these works, first-order phase transitions ending at critical points at low temperatures are proved.…”

“…This was already met in the study of pure semi infinite models, see references [32] [57] [58]. But, the mean field theory finds such situations [30] [59]. Lipowski had already mentioned the expected difference between the two approaches (MF and RG), in the study of semi infinite Potts model [60].…”

“…To the best of our knowledge, this case has recently been investigated 13,14 within the framework both of the MFA and by a PSRG technique based on the Migdal-Kadanoff recursion relations, and four main types of phase diagram have been obtained as a function of the ratio R of bulk and surface interactions (RϭJ B /J S ) and the ratio D of bulk and surface crystal fields (Dϭ⌬ B /⌬ S ). Their domain of existence is classified as follows.…”
