Abstract: | We study the mean-field static solution of the Blume-Emery-Griffiths-Capel model with quenched disorder, an Ising-spin lattice gas with random magnetic interaction. The thermodynamics is worked out in the full replica symmetry breaking scheme. The model exhibits a high temperature/low density paramagnetic phase. As temperature decreases or density increases, a phase transition to a full replica symmetry breaking spin-glass phase occurs. The nature of the transition can be either of the second order or, at temperature below a given critical value, of the first order in the Ehrenfest sense, with a discontinuous jump of the order parameter, a latent heat, and coexistence of phases. |
