The meanfield differentialequation was solved by sixth order Runge-Kutta-Felberg method. We calculatedthe transition temperature as a function of amplitude and frequency of oscillatingfield. This was plotted against field amplitude taking frequency as a parameter.As frequency increases the phase boundary is observed to become inflated. The phaseboundary shows an inflection point which separates the nature of the transition. Onthe dynamic phase boundary a tricritical point (TCP) was found, which separates thenature (continuous/discontinuous) of the dynamic transition across the phase boundary.The inflection point is identified as the TCP and hence a simpler method of determiningthe position of TCP was found. TCP was observed to shift towards high fieldfor higher frequency. As frequency decreases the dynamic phase boundary is observeto shrink. In the zero frequency limit this boundary shows a tendency to merge to thetemperature variation of the coercive field.展开更多

First, the ground state phase diagram of the system at zero temperature is obtained on the (DA/z|J|,DB/z|J|) plane. Topologically, different kinds of phase diagrams are achieved by changing the temperature and the values of the single ion anisotropies DA/z|J| and DB/z|J|. Besides second-order transition lines, first order phase transition lines terminating at tricritical points, are found. The existence and dependence of a compensation temperature on single-ion anisotropies is also investigated.展开更多
