We present a detailed study by Monte Carlo simulations and finite-size scaling analysis of the phase diagram and ordered bulk phases for the three-dimensional Blume-Capel antiferromagnet in the space of temperature and magnetic and crystal fields (or two chemical potentials in an equivalent lattice-gas model with two particle species and vacancies). The phase diagram consists of surfaces of second- and first-order transitions that enclose a "volume" of ordered phases in the phase space. At relatively high temperatures, these surfaces join smoothly along a line of tricritical points, and at zero magnetic field we obtain good agreement with known values for tricritical exponent ratios [Y. Deng and H. W. J. Blöte, Phys. Rev. E 70, 046111 (2004)10.1103/PhysRevE.70.046111]. In limited field regions at lower temperatures (symmetric under reversal of the magnetic field), the tricritical line for this three-dimensional model bifurcates into lines of critical endpoints and critical points, connected by a surface of weak first-order transitions inside the region of ordered phases. This phenomenon is not seen in the two-dimensional version of the same model. We confirm the location of the bifurcation as previously reported [Y.-L. Wang and J. D. Kimel, J. Appl. Phys. 69, 6176 (1991)0021-897910.1063/1.348797], and we identify the phases separated by this first-order surface as antiferromagnetically (three-dimensional checker-board) ordered with different vacancy densities. We visualize the phases by real-space snapshots and by structure factors in the three-dimensional space of wave vectors.

State space Riemannian geometry is obtained for the one-dimensional Blume-Emery-Griffiths model and its Blume-Capel and Griffiths model limits, and its (pseudo)critical as well as noncritical parameter regimes are extensively investigated. Two codimension one geometries are obtained by taking suitable hypersurfaces in the three-dimensional state space manifold, and the induced thermal metrics are accordingly interpreted in terms of constrained fluctuations. The three-dimensional scalar curvature and the two two-dimensional curvatures are shown to be consistent with Ruppeiner's conjecture relating the inverse of the singular free energy to the thermodynamic scalar curvature.

In 1994, Jansen and Oerding predicted an interesting anomalous tricritical dynamic behavior in three-dimensional models via renormalization group theory. However, we highlight the lack of literature about the computational verification of this universal behavior. Here, we use some tricks to capture the log corrections and the parameters predicted by these authors using the three-dimensional Blume-Capel model.

The thermodynamic properties of the spin S=3/2 ferromagnetic Ising model in the presence of transverse and longitudinal crystal fields (equivalent to the Blume-Capel model with a transverse crystal field) have been studied by using two different approaches: (i) a zero-temperature mapping of the system onto a spin-1/2 quantum Ising model in longitudinal and transverse fields, together with time-independent quantum perturbation theory; and (ii) a standard mean-field approximation within the framework of the Bogoliubov inequality for the free energy. A very rich phase diagram, with different kinds of multicritical behavior, has been obtained. The results show first- and second-order transition lines, tricritical and tetracritical points, critical end points with a two-phase coexistence, double critical end points, and also double noncritical end points.

We investigate the mixed-spin Blume-Capel model with spin-1/2 and spin-S (S=1, 2, and 3) on the simple cubic and body-centered cubic lattices with single-ion-splitting crystal field (Δ) by using the Metropolis and the Wang-Landau Monte Carlo methods. We show that the two methods are complementary: The Wang-Landau algorithm is efficient to construct phase diagrams and the Metropolis algorithm allows access to large-sized lattices. By numerical simulations, we prove that the tricritical point is independent of S for both lattices.
