Mean - Field Study of the Degenerate Blume - Emery - Griffiths Model in a Random Crystal Field
نویسنده
چکیده
The degenerate Blume-Emery-Griffiths (DBEG) model has recently been introduced in the study of martensitic transformation problems. This model has the same Hamiltonian as the standard Blume-Emery-Griffiths (BEG) model but, to take into account vibrational effects on the martensitic transition, it is assumed that the states S = 0 have a degeneracy p (p = 1 corresponds to the usual BEG model). In some materials, the transition would be better described by a disordered DBEG model; further, the inclusion of disorder in the DBEG model may be relevant in the study of shape memory alloys. From the theoretical point of view, it would be interesting to study the consequence of conflicting effects: the parameter p, which increases the first-order phase-transition region, and disorder in the crystal field, which tends to diminish this region in three dimensions. In order to study this competition in high-dimensional systems, we apply a mean-field approximation: it is then possible to determine the critical behavior of the random DBEG model for any value of the interaction parameters. Finally, we comment on (preliminary) results obtained for a two-dimensional system, where the randomness in the crystal-field has a more drastic effect, when compared to the three-dimensional model.

Magnetic behavior of a spin-1 Blume-Emery-Griffiths model
I study the one-dimensional spin-1 Blume-Emery-Griffiths model with bilinear and biquadratic exchange interactions and single-ion crystal field under an applied magnetic field. This model can be exactly mapped into a tight-binding Hubbard model extended to include intersite interactions provided one renormalizes the chemical and the on-site potentials, which become temperature dependent. After ...

Cluster Variation Approach to the Random–anisotropy Blume–emery–griffiths Model
The random–anisotropy Blume–Emery–Griffiths model, which has been proposed to describe the critical behavior of He–He mixtures in a porous medium, is studied in the pair approximation of the cluster variation method extended to disordered systems. Several new features, with respect to mean field theory, are found, including a rich ground state, a nonzero percolation threshold, a reentrant coexi...

In this paper we give a complete analysis of the phase transitions in the mean-field Blume–Emery–Griffiths lattice-spin model with respect to the canonical ensemble, showing both a second-order, continuous phase transition and a first-order, discontinuous phase transition for appropriate values of the thermodynamic parameters that define the model. These phase transitions are analyzed both in t...
متن کامل2 Thermodynamics of fully connected Blume - Emery - Griffiths neural networks
The thermodynamic and retrieval properties of fully connected Blume-Emery-Griffiths networks, storing ternary patterns, are studied using replica mean-field theory. Capacity-temperature phase diagrams are derived for several values of the pattern activity. It is found that the retrieval phase is the largest in comparison with other three-state neuron models. Furthermore, the meaning and stabili...
