In this work, Monte Carlo simulations (MCS) based on Metropolis algorithm were performed to study the hysteresis loops and coercive field of a core/shell nanowire with spins S = ± 5 2 , ± 3 2 , ± 1 2 and σ = ± 3 2 , ± 1 2 , respectivility, considering an Ising ferrimagnetic system. The influence of nearest neighbors exchange interactions and crystal field anisotropy on hysteresis and coercive field behaviors of the system has been analyzed. The calculations were performed using a single-spin flip algorithm. In each spin-flip attempt, we randomly choose a site. The results show that, for a system without anisotropy triple hysteresis loops appear for certain values. The plateaus in hysteresis loops are due to the values of the spins projections. The change of the values for anisotropy influence the shape of the hysteresis loops without present triple hysteresis loops. Also, the effect of the anisotropy in the coercive field was analyzed, where the coercive field present enhanced for certain range of the temperatures. Finally, for high values of the applied external magnetic field, the Zeeman effect takes control over the system.
