Dynamic phase transitions and dynamic phase diagrams of the spin-2 Blume-Capel model under an oscillating magnetic field within the effective-field theory

▸ Dynamic phase transitions are studied in spin-2 BC model using EFT. ▸ Dynamic phase diagrams are constructed in (T/zJ, h/zJ) plane. ▸ Seven fundamental types of dynamic phase diagrams are found in the system. ▸ System exhibits dynamic tricritical behavior.
