We investigate the density of states (DOS) in an antiferromagnetic spin-system on a square lattice described by the Blume-Capel (BC) model. We use a new and very efficient simulation method, proposed by Wang and Landau, in which we estimate very precisely DOS by sampling in the space of energy. Then we calculate the thermodynamical averages like internal energy, free energy, specific heat and entropy. The BC model exhibits multicritical behaviour such as first- or second-order transitions and tricritical points. It is known that the ground state of the model can exhibit two kinds of staggered antiferromagnetic phases: AF1 (two interpenetrating lattices with S = -1 and S = 1) and AF2 (S = -1 and S = 0 for H < 0; S = 1 and S = 0 for H > 0). We analyze the coexistence of such phases at finite temperatures and determine border lines between them. To understand the microscopic nature of such boundaries we present also some results obtained with the standard Monte Carlo method.

We report on numerical simulations of the two-dimensional Blume-Capel ferromagnet embedded in the triangular lattice. The model is studied in both its first- and second-order phase transition regime for several values of the crystal field via a sophisticated two-stage numerical strategy using the Wang-Landau algorithm. Using classical finite-size scaling techniques we estimate with high accuracy phase-transition temperatures, thermal, and magnetic critical exponents and we give an approximation of the phase diagram of the model.
We consider the one-dimensional spin chain for arbitrary spin $s$ on a periodic chain with $N$ sites, the generalization of the chain that was studied by Blume and Capel cite{bc}: $$H=sum_{i=1}^N left(a (S^z_i)^2+ b S^z_iS^z_{i+1}right).$$ The Hamiltonian only involves the $z$ component of the spin thus it is essentially an Ising cite{Ising} model. The Hamiltonian also figures exactly as the anisotropic term in the famous model studied by Haldane cite{haldane} of the large spin Heisenberg spin chain cite{bethe}. Therefore we call the model the Blume-Capel-Haldane-Ising model. Although the Hamiltonian is trivially diagonal, it is actually not always obvious which eigenstate is the ground state. In this paper we establish which state is the ground state for all regions of the parameter space and thus determine the phase diagram of the model. We observe the existence of solitons-like excitations and we show that the size of the solitons depends only on the ratio $a/b$ and not on the number of sites $N$. Therefore the size of the soliton is an intrinsic property of the soliton not determined by boundary conditions.
The effects of bond randomness on the phase diagram and critical behavior of the square lattice ferromagnetic Blume-Capel model are discussed. The system is studied in both the pure and disorder
The finite-temperature phase diagram of the Hubbard model in $d=3$ is obtained from renormalization-group analysis. It exhibits, around half filling, an antiferromagnetic phase and, between 30%--40% electron or hole doping from half filling, a new $tau $ phase in which the electron hopping strength $t$ asymptotically becomes infinite under repeated rescalings. Next to the $tau $ phase, a first-order phase boundary with very narrow phase separation (less than 2% jump in electron density) occurs. At temperatures above the $tau $ phase, an incommensurate spin modulation phase is indicated. In $d=2$, we find that the Hubbard model has no phase transition at finite temperature.
