Random transverse single-ion anisotropy in the spin−1 Blume–Capel quantum model

We have studied the effects of the random transverse single-ion anisotropy in the phase diagram and in the thermodynamic properties of the spin−1 Blume–Capel quantum model, which has been used the approach the mean-field theory based on the Bogoliubov inequality for the Gibbs free energy. The phase diagrams were obtained in the temperature τ=kBT∕zJ versus single-ion anisotropy δx=Dx∕zJ plane for several values of δy=Dy∕zJ, p and q. The results show that there is a tricritical behavior only in the range of δy given by −0.048≤δy<0.5. This behavior is shown again by the curves of the magnetization m as a function of temperature τ with corresponding values of δy, p and q.
