Abstract
The zero temperature phase diagram of a one-dimensional S=2 Heisenberg ferromagnet with single-ion cubic anisotropy is studied numerically using the density-matrix renormalization group method. Evidence is found that although the model does not involve quadrupolar couplings, there is a purely quadrupolar phase for large values of the anisotropy. The phase transition between the magnetic and quadrupolar phases is continuous and it seems to be characterized by Ising critical exponents.
