Abstract

The susceptibility of the Ising S=1 model with biquadratic interactions is expanded in a high temperature series on the FCC lattice for a range of the biquadratic interaction parameter that includes the Potts model (1952). A tricritical point and a point above which the magnetization M remains zero are approximately located. The Potts model seems to fall in the region of the first-order phase transition in M.
