Thermodynamic Properties of Random Transverse Field Mixed Spin System in the Presence of Single-Ion Anisotropy

We study the thermodynamic properties of random transverse field mixed spin system in the presence ofsingle-ion anisotropy on a square lattice. By making use of the effective field theory and a cutting approximation, thedetailed phase diagrams are described and some interesting results are found under trimodal random transverse fielddistribution. A smallsingle-ion anisotropy can magnify magnetic ordering region at low temperatures and existence ofa large transverse field can assist the occurrence of reentrant phenomena. With increasing disorder, second-order phasetransitions are shown to change into first-order phase transitions. The trajectory of the tricritical point in the phasespace as a function of disorder is presented. These indicate a strong correlation with the corresponding to trimodaltransverse field distribution.
