Hysteresis Characteristics of Generalized Spin-S Magnetic Binary Alloys

Abstract

In this study, hysteresis characteristics of the generalized spin-S binary alloy represented by the formula A c B 1−c have been investigated within the framework of effective field approximation. The binary system consists of type A (spin-S) and type B (spin-S) atoms which are randomly distributed on a honeycomb lattice. Both integer and half-integer spin models of two magnetic atom types are examined. By detailed investigation on hysteresis loops, multiple hysteresis behaviors are obtained for a given set of Hamiltonian parameters. Besides, the quantities of hysteresis characteristics as the hysteresis loop area, remanent magnetization, and coercive field have been investigated as functions of concentration.
