Description
The two-time Green function method is employed to explore the phase diagram and the magnetic-field-induced quantum criticality of a three-dimensional spin-one planar ferromagnet with easy-axis single-ion anisotropy. We adopt the Tyablikov and Anderson-Callen decouplings for higher order exchange and single-ion anisotropy Green functions, respectively. The central finding is that, within a characteristic range of the anisotropy parameter values, reentrant phenomena occur in the phase diagram close to the quantum critical point producing a sensible change of the conventional quantum critical scenario. - Highlights: • We study he effects of single-ion anisotropy on the magnetic-field-induced quantum criticality. • The method used is the two-time Green's function framework. • We find that the structure of the phase diagram is modified. • Reentrant critical lines appear in a given range of the anisotropy parameter values
