The magnetic properties of the mixed spin-12 and spin-1 Ising ferromagnetic system with a crystal–field interaction in the absence and presence of an external magnetic field are studied by using the cluster variation method. Thermal variations of order parameters are investigated and the...

We investigate the temperature dependence of the order parameters of the Blume–Capel model for zero magnetic field in the lowest approximation of the cluster variation method which is identical to the mean-field approximation. Besides the stable branches of the order parameters, we establish...

The multicritical behavior of the antiferromagnetic spin-32 Blume–Emery–Griffiths model in an external magnetic field is studied within the lowest approximation of the cluster variation method. We have investigated the thermal variations of order parameters for different values of...

The dynamic behaviour of the modified Pople–Karasz model is studied by the direct relaxation method and the path probability method. First the equilibrium behaviour of the model is given briefly in order to understand the dynamic behaviour. Then the direct relaxation method, which is based on...

We have studied the temperature dependences of the magnetization and the quadrupolar moment of a spin-32 Ising model Hamiltonian with bilinear and biquadratic interactions using the molecular field approximation. A number of characteristic behaviors for the thermal variations of the order...
