Blume-Capel Model in D= 1 with Long-Range Interactions: Giant Reentrance in the Finite-Temperature Tricritical Phase Diagrams

Abstract

The Blume-Capel model in one dimension with long-range power-law interactions is studied by renormalization-group theory. A series of finite-temperature tricritical phase diagrams is found, as a function of the power-law exponent of the power-law interactions. These calculated phase diagrams exhibit a giant reentrance in the form disorder-order-disorder as temperature is lowered. The first-order transition takes over the entire phase boundary at longest-range interactions, as a near-equivalent-neighbor regime is approached.
