Random anisotropy Blume-Emery-Griffiths model.

TLDR
The results are described of studies of a random-anisotropy Blume-Emery-Griffiths spin-1 Ising model using mean-field theory, transfer-matrix calculations, and position-space renormalization-group calculations that lead to a rich phase diagram with a variety of phase transitions and reentrant behavior.
Abstract
The results are described of studies of a random-anisotropy Blume-Emery-Griffiths spin-1 Ising model using mean-field theory, transfer-matrix calculations, and position-space renormalization-group calculations. The interplay between the quenched randomness of the anisotropy and the annealed disorder introduced by the spin-1 model leads to a rich phase diagram with a variety of phase transitions and reentrant behavior. The results may be relevant to the study of the phase separation of He-3 - He-4 mixtures in porous media in the vicinity of the superfluid transition.

A cluster variation approach to the random-anisotropy Blume-Emery-Griffiths model

TL;DR: In this article, the random-anisotropy Blume-Emery-Griffiths model, which has been proposed to describe the critical behaviour of 3He-4He mixtures in a porous medium, is studied in the pair approximation of the cluster variation method extended to disordered systems.

Mean field study of the mixed Ising model in a random crystal field

TL;DR: In this article, the magnetic properties of a mixed Ising ferrimagnetic system, in which the two interacting sublattices have spins σ, ( ± 1 / 2 ) and spins S, (± 1, 0 ) in the presence of a random crystal field, have been studied with the mean field approach.
