A phase diagram for the S = 1 B E G model Katsumi Kasono and Ikuo Ono Department of Physics, Tokyo Institute of Technology, Oh-Okayama, Meguro-ku, Tokyo 152, Japan We have obtained a full phase diagram for the BEG model with an antiferromagnetic biquadratic interaction by the Bethe approximation. This diagram shows successive, re-entrant and double re-entrant phase transitions. In the special case of a zero bilinear interaction, this model can be mapped onto the spin-½ Ising model in a magnetic field.

Fig. 1. The phase diagram for the several values of d( =- D / z J 0 is plotted in J( ~- J 2 / J 1 ) and the reduced temperature plane. (a) d = - 1.0, - 0.5, 0.0, 0.5, 1.0; (b) d = - 0.4, - 0.25, - 0.2, - 0.1, - 0.05 and 0.0. The right-hand side lines indicate the the (Q) ~ (F) phase transition, and left hand lines the (Q) ~ (SQ) phase transition. When d > 0, both phases meet each other, and the first order (Q)--* (SQ) transition appears. A tricritical phase transition occurs on the (F) phase. Here the solid lines and the broken lines indicated the second order and first order transitions, respectively. 0312-8853/92/$05.00 © 1992 - Elsevier Science Publishers B.V. All rights reserved

D/Z[ J21 Fig. 5. The phase diagram for the negative biquadratic interactoin and Jl = 0, and the spin configurations of the ground state. The solid lines, a, b, c, d and e are the tangential lines of each phase diagram at D - T = 0, and on the simple-cubic, body-centered-cubic, square, honeycomb and triangular lattice respectively. These results are obtained by lattice-gas studies [6] (a, b), [7] (c, d), [8] (c) and exact solution [9] (e). This analogy is also used in [10]. The highly accurate line c, which comes from series expansion by Baxter et al., is proved to be slightly different from the line of MH-Z. References
