High-performance Monte Carlo Simulation of Multilayer Magnetic Films

Abstract

The results of numerical calculations of the thermodynamic properties of multilayer films with alternating magnetic and non-magnetic layers were presented. Computer simulation of such structures within the frame of the classical Heisenberg model was carried out by Monte Carlo methods. The processes of magnetization reversal of multilayer structures in external magnetic fields were investigated.

Thermodynamic Properties of Heisenberg Spin Systems

“…The Monte Carlo (MC) simulation is one of the fundamental methods of statistical physics, particularly in the study of phase transitions and magnetic phenomena [6,7,8]. We used the modified Metropolis algorithm: our variant of the Multipath Metropolis (MM) simulation is used which was based on [9].…”
