The effect of a homogeneous external field on the
three-dimensional uniaxial magnet behaviour near the critical
point is investigated within the framework of the nonperturbative
collective variables method using the ρ4 model. The research
is carried out for the low-temperature region. The analytic
explicit expressions for the free energy, average spin moment and
susceptibility are obtained for weak and strong fields in
comparison with the field value belonging to the pseudocritical
line. The calculations are performed on the microscopic level
without any adjusting parameters. It is established that the
long-wave fluctuations of the order parameter play a crucial role
in forming a crossover between the temperature-dependence and
field-dependence critical behaviour of the system.
