Abstract

We study the thermodynamic geometry of the one-dimensional Blume--Capel model within the Tsallis nonextensive framework to understand how generalized statistics modify correlation structure and pseudo-critical behaviour. Using the transfer matrix method, we construct the Tsallis entropy based thermodynamic metric as its negative Hessian on the parameter space (β,J)(\beta, J), with the crystal-field anisotropy DD as a control parameter, and compute the associated scalar curvature R(T)R(T) as a measure of correlations. Although no true phase transition occurs in one dimension, R(T)R(T) exhibits finite peaks signaling pseudo-critical crossovers. We analyze both D<JD < J and D>JD > J regimes and show that deviations from the Boltzmann--Gibbs limit (q=1q=1) systematically deform the curvature profile: for q>1q>1 the peak shifts and correlations persist beyond the crossover, whereas for q<1q<1 the peak is weakened or suppressed. Our results demonstrate that the Tsallis parameter qq geometrically reshapes the entropy surface, providing a clear information-geometric interpretation of nonextensive effects in spin-1 systems.
