Finite-size scaling and power law relations for dipole-quadrupole interaction on Blume-Emery-Griffiths model

The Blume-Emery-Griffiths model with the dipole-quadrupole interaction ($ \ell = \frac{I} {J} $ \ell = \frac{I} {J} ) has been simulated using a cellular automaton algorithm improved from the Creutz cellular automaton (CCA) on the face centered cubic (fcc) lattice. The finite-size scaling relations and the power laws of the order parameter (M) and the susceptibility (χ) are proposed for the dipole-quadrupole interaction (ℓ). The dipole-quadrupole critical exponent δ_χ has been estimated from the data of the order parameter (M) and the susceptibility (χ). The simulations have been done in the interval $ 0 \leqslant \ell = \frac{I} {J}0 \leqslant 0.01 $ 0 \leqslant \ell = \frac{I} {J}0 \leqslant 0.01 for $ d = \frac{D} {J} = 0,k = \frac{K} {J} = 0 $ d = \frac{D} {J} = 0,k = \frac{K} {J} = 0 and $ h = \frac{H} {J} = 0 $ h = \frac{H} {J} = 0 parameter values on a face centered cubic (fcc) lattice with periodic boundary conditions. The results indicate that the effect of the ℓ parameter is similar to the external magnetic field (h). The critical exponent δ_ℓ are in good agreement with the universal value (δ _h = 5) of the external magnetic field.
