The spin-1 Blume–Capel model with random crystal field on the Bethe lattice

Abstract

The dependence of the phase diagrams on the random crystal field (RCF) is investigated for the spin-1 Blume–Capel (BC) model on the Bethe lattice. The calculations are carried out in terms of the recursion relations for the coordination number z=4 which corresponds to the square lattice. The model presents tricritical points which are observed at lower negative crystal fields and higher temperatures for higher probabilities p and which vanish at lower p’s. The effect of randomness is illustrated for p=0.5 and shown that it changes the phase diagrams drastically from random to non-random systems. The reentrant behavior is also observed for appropriate p values.
