Description We describe a first-order phase transition in an isotropic non-Heisenberg ferromagnet induced by a
magnetic field with a fourth-order spin exchange interaction at temperatures above the Curie point.
The field behavior of the magnetization is analyzed and the temperature dependences of the critical
fields of the stability of the paramagnetic and ferromagnetic phases as well as the critical field of
the phase transition between them are determined. It is shown that this first-order phase transition
has a finite amplitude of the magnetization jump and can occur in small magnetic fields. An H–T
phase diagram is presented. It is found that the amplitude of the phase jump during the magnetic
field-induced transition from the paramagnetic to the ferromagnetic phase can exceed the magnitude
of the entropy change of an isotropic Heisenberg ferromagnet by two orders of magnitude
when it is magnetized at the Curie point. It is shown that the expansion of the free energy model up
to the 6th power in magnetization can only qualitatively describe the entropy behavior in the phase
transition between the paramagnetic and ferromagnetic phases.
