Magnetic properties and hysteresis behavior of a ferrimagnetic mixed spin-3/2 and spin-5/2 Ising nanowire

Abstract

PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to study the magnetic properties and the hysteresis behavior of a ferrimagnetic cubic Ising nanowire with mixed spins S = 3/2 and S = 5/2 in which the atoms are placed alternately.Design/methodology/approachIn order to investigate the effects of the exchange interactions and crystal field on the magnetic properties and hysteresis behavior of the nanowire, we have used the Monte Carlo simulation. More precisely, we have plotted the thermal variations of the sublattice and total magnetizations for different values of the Hamiltonian parameters, and we have presented the corresponding phase diagrams. In addition, the influence of an external magnetic field is examined by plotting the variations of hysteresis loops with the change of temperature and crystal field.FindingsAll phase transition found in this study are of second-order and the critical temperatures increase linearly with the increase of the exchange interactions. The compensation temperatures appear only for some domains of crystal field D and exchange interaction JB of the sublattice (B). Moreover, when studying the hysteresis behavior, the system can show one or double hysteresis loops.Originality/valueThe authors consider that this research is consistent with the scientific axis of the journal which benefits a great esteem in our country and in the world. In addition, the results are of technological interest.

Magnetic Behavior of Ising Nanowire with Mixed Integer Spins: A Monte Carlo Study

“…7(b)) MT shows two compensation points, which is in agreement with the previous phase diagram. The same behavior is observed in a mixed-spin (3/2, 5/2) Ising nanowire using MCS [50] and in a spin-1/2 core and spin-1 shell nanoparticle with a disordered interface [49]. To examine the first-order transition region and verify the phase diagram shown in Figure 6, the magnetizations mA, mB and MT are plotted in Figure 8…”

“…Spin (1/2-3/2) model on nanotube geometry has been investigated within the effective field theory [23] and on a nanowire geometry by Monte Carlo simulation [24,25]. The magnetic phase transition characteristics and hysteresis behaviors of spin-3/2 spin -5/2 model on Ising nanowire have been determined by the Monte Carlo 604 simulation [26,27]. Besides, hysteresis and compensation behaviors of mixed spin-2 and spin-1 hexagonal Ising nanowire have been studied within the Monte Carlo simulation [28].…”
