Crossover and universality breaking in the dilute Baxter-Wu model
Dimitrios Mataragkas, Alexandros Vasilopoulos, Dong-Hee Kim +1
The critical behavior of the Baxter-Wu model belongs to the universality class of the four-state Potts model. While the introduction of annealed vacancies does not alter the critic…
First-order phase transitions in the three-dimensional Blume-Capel ferromagnet
D. Mataragkas, A. Vasilopoulos, Z. D. Vatansever +3
We investigate first-order phase transitions in the three-dimensional Blume-Capel ferromagnet on the simple cubic lattice by combining multicanonical simulations with two-parameter…
Transfer-matrix approach to the Blume-Capel model on the triangular lattice
Dimitrios Mataragkas, Alexandros Vasilopoulos, Nikolaos G. Fytas +1
We investigate the spin- Blume-Capel model on an infinite strip of the triangular lattice using the transfer-matrix method combined with a sparse-matrix factorization technique.…
Tricriticality and finite-size scaling in the triangular Blume-Capel ferromagnet
Dimitrios Mataragkas, Alexandros Vasilopoulos, Nikolaos G. Fytas +1
We report on numerical simulations of the two-dimensional spin- Blume-Capel ferromagnet embedded in a triangular lattice. Utilizing a range of Monte Carlo and finite-size scalin…
