Effects of biquadratic exchange on Curie temperature and specific heat have been studied in the light of a new effective field theory for the lsing Spin System. The nearest neighbour interaction is taken into account.
1. Introduction The magnetism of amorphous and disordered materials has achieved much attention among scientists from theoretical as well as experimental point of view. Here we have concentrated on the site diluted magnets that is, systems in which magnetic atoms are replaced by nonmagnetic atoms in increasing amounts. Authors [1,2] have discussed the diluted magnetic systems based on effective field theory and Coherent Potential Approximation (CPA). Recently Kaneyoshi et al. [3] developed a method based on the Callen identity [1] for the spin S = 1 / 2 system and applied it to different problems. In our paper we have made an attempt to study the effect of biquadratic exchange and percolation concentration together on Curie temperature following a new effective field theory developed by Kaneyoshi [3]. The expression for internal energy and specific heat has been derived and discussed in detail.

2. Curie temperature Following the notation of ref. [3], Hamiltonian of such a system is given by •,~= - ½~ J , j0,0~,t5 -- 50l ~ , EJij(t~iOj]li#j) /j
where #, and #j are the sins on i and j sites, the parameter 0, is random variable which takes on the value 0 or 1. Jq is the usual exchange interaction, a' is the biquadratic exchange which varies between 0 and 1. For the spin S = 1 / 2 system, there is simple a identity to reduce biquadratic to bilinear at once. Hence the Hamiltonian (1) is reduced to

where Co= ~Npk. Eqs. (11) and (17) are solved numerically by iteration process for different values of biquadratic exchange parameter a'. It is clear from fig. 1 that the Curie temperature increases with percolation concentration for each value of the biquadratic exchange and at the same time the Curie temperature decreases with the increase of a'. Fig. 2 shows that the specific heat at the transition temperature have broad maxima for smaller a " s but the sharp maximum appears for higher a ' 's. The numerical value of specific heat increases with a ' for fixed temperature. For higher values of a', the specific heat decreases rapidly. In this way, the biquadratic exchange influences specific heat data very much. The effect
