Abstract

Work on the Ising chain with competing interactions is extended to the case where a staggered field is included as well as the usual direct field. A simple transformation enables one to interpret the behavior of this model as a metamagnet. Tricritical points are found and analyzed, and the observability of the tricritical exponents, as distinguished from the usual critical exponents, is discussed.
