Abstract The phase transitions in the Blume-Emery-Griffiths (BEG) model and antiferromagnetic Potts model on the diamond lattice are investigated using the cluster-variation method in the pair approximation. The ferrimagnetic phases are found to be different from those on the simple-cubic lattice. The phase diagrams of the BEG model are also calculated. In the vicinity of the parameter line where the BEG model reduces to the three-state antiferromagnetic Potts model, new types of phase diagram are obtained. The results are different from those of the mean-field theory, which is a good approximation only for large coordination number of the lattice.

Altmetric calculates a score based on the online attention an article receives. Each coloured thread in the circle represents a different type of online attention. The number in the centre is the Altmetric score. Social media and mainstream news media are the main sources that calculate the score. Reference managers such as Mendeley are also tracked but do not contribute to the score. Older articles often score higher because they have had more time to get noticed. To account for this, Altmetric has included the context data for other articles of a similar age.
