Critical temperature of mixed ferromagnetic and antiferromagnetic Ising systems with arbitrary spin

Abstract

Using the high-temperature series expansion method, a system of randomly mixed ferromagnetic and antiferromagnetic Ising bonds is considered in quenched and annealed systems for an arbitrary value of spin and a BCC lattice. The dependence of the critical temperature on the concentration p of ferromagnetic bonds is determined. It is found that the resulting phase diagrams depend on the system (whether quenched or annealed), the spin value and the strength of the coupling constants. Also the dependence of the critical exponent gamma on p and the crossover exponent phi are estimated.
