Abstract

Using the Monte-Carlo method, we study the magnetic properties of the Ashkin-Teller model (ATM) under the effect of the crystal field with spins S=1S = 1 and σ=3/2\sigma = 3/2. First, we determine the most stable phases in the phase diagrams at temperature T=0T = 0 using exact calculations. For higher temperatures, we use the Monte-Carlo simulation. We have found rich phase diagrams with the ordered phases: a Baxter 3/23/2 and a Baxter 1/21/2 phases in addition to a σS\left\langle \sigma S\right\rangle phase that does not show up either in ATM spin 1 or in ATM spin 3/23/2 and, lastly, a σ=1/2\left\langle \sigma\right\rangle = 1/2 phase with first and second order transitions.
