Abstract:
A generalized spin-1 Blume-Capel model with distance/volume dependent nearest-neighbor exchange interaction is introduced and investigated using the standard methods of statistical mechanics. Besides of the volume-dependent magnetic energy, the static electromagnetic energy and anharmonic Einstein phonon contribution are also taken into account. Taking the simple volume dependence of all energy contributions we have obtained the equation of state, magnetic moment, internal and Helmholtz free energy of the system. The ground-state and finite-temperature phase diagrams are obtained and discussed in detail. Is it shown that the generalized spin-1 Blume-Capel model exhibits a novel critical behavior appearing due to magnetostriction and thermal volume variations. The presented approach is very universal and easily applicable to many other theoretical models in different fields of solid state physics.
