• YFeO 3 have been studied with GGA and GGA+U reveal a semi-conductor and an Antiferromagnetic type-G behavior. • Magnetic anisotropy results for both approximations show that easy axis magnetization for YFeO 3 is along the c-axis. • Evaluation of the electric polarization and the magnetic transition temperature of the orthorhombic YFeO 3 has done. In this study, we have thoroughly investigated the electronic, magnetic, and electrical properties of yttrium orthoferrite using density functional theory (DFT) within the generalized gradient approximation (GGA) and the (GGA + U) approach, which incorporates the Hubbard term (U). Both approximations consistently reveal a semiconductor behavior and an antiferromagnetic behavior of type-G between the iron (Fe) ions. To delve deeper into the magnetic interactions within YFeO 3 , we have proposed a physical model. This model allows us to calculate the magnetic exchange coupling and magnetic anisotropy parameters through DFT calculations. Additionally, we have conducted computations to determine the electric polarization. Our results have shown that the electric polarization in YFeO 3 is exclusively derived from electronic polarization. We have also explored the relationship between the direction of electric polarization and the easy-axis magnetization. In our investigation, we found that both the electric polarization and easy-axis magnetization align along the c-axis in both approximations. Furthermore, we have examined the influence of the Hubbard term on the direction of polarization. To assess the magnetic temperature transition, we employed Monte Carlo simulations using the Ising model. The critical temperature, denoted as T N , obtained with the GGA approximation is found to be 726.66 K. Remarkably, this value closely matches the experimental critical temperature when compared to the critical temperature obtained with the GGA + U approximation. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Monte Carlo simulation is used to study the magnetic properties of mixed spin (3/2, 1) disordered binary alloys on simple cubic, hexagonal and amorphous magnetic ultra-thin films with 18 × 18 × 2 atoms. To this end, at the first approximation, the exchange coupling interaction between the spins is considered as a constant value and at the second one, the Ruderman–Kittel–Kasuya–Yosida (RKKY) model is used. Effects of concentration, structure, exchange interaction, single ion-anisotropy and the film size on the magnetic properties of disordered ferromagnetic and ferrimagnetic binary alloys are investigated. Our results indicate that the spontaneous magnetization and critical temperatures of rare earth-3 d transition binary alloys are affected by these parameters. It is also found that in the ferrimagnetic state, the compensation temperature ( T com ) and the magnetic rearrangement temperature ( T R ) appear for some concentrations. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The magnetic properties of ferrimagnetic spin-2 and 3/2 Ising-typed thin films are studied by Monte Carlo simulation. The critical temperature is obtained for different values of thickness of the thin film and for different exchange interactions. The total magnetization has been determined for different values of exchange interactions in surface and in bulk and different temperatures. The magnetic hysteresis cycle is obtained for different values of exchange interactions ferro and antiferromagnetic in the surface and in the bulk and for different values of temperatures for a fixed size of the film thickness. The coercive field increase with increasing the film thickness. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

• The mixed spin Ising model is generally used as a modeling tool to study ferrimagnetism. • Monte Carlo simulation to study the critical and the compensation behaviors of a cubic lattice considering a mixed spin- 3/2 and spin-1 Ising ferrimagnetic model. • The presence of crystal and external magnetic fields is not sufficient to generate the compensation phenomenon in a mixed spins. In this study, we perform Monte Carlo simulations to study the magnetic properties of a mixed Ising model on a cubic lattice where spins S i A = 1 and σ J B = 3/2 are located in sublattice A and B, respectively. The proposed Hamiltonian includes coupling to nearest-neighbors interactions, next-nearest-neighbors interactions, crystal fields D S and D σ and external magnetic field h. We perform exact ground-state calculations for our model. The obtained results show the behavior of the critical temperature with the presence of the compensation temperatures under a certain range of parameters. Particularly, we found that the existence of compensation temperatures depends on the strength of the coupling to the next nearest neighbors between the S i A spins and between the σ J B spins, and it appears in a certain range of values of the external magnetic and crystal field of different spins.

Abstract: In this work, we have used Monte Carlo Simulation technique (MCS) and effective field theory (EFT) to study the critical and the compensation behaviors of a ferrimagnetic cylindrical nanowire. The system consists of a ferromagnetic spin S A =1/2 core and a ferromagnetic spin S B =1 surface shell coupled with an antiferromagnetic interlayer coupling J 1 to the core. The effects of the uniaxial anisotropy, the shell coupling and the interface negative coupling on both the critical and compensation temperatures are investigated. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

Abstract: A Monte Carlo Simulation has been used to study the critical behavior of the magnetic spin-1 Ising nanowire on an hexagonal lattice structure. Our system consists of a ferromagnetic core with two shells, coupled antiferromagnetically with a surface shell. The effects of the crystal field, the shell and the core/shell interactions on the behavior of the system are examined. We found that the system exhibits one or two compensation points, the first and the second order transitions. Moreover, we have obtained that the critical point depends on the shell coupling.

• The graphene-like quantum dots with mixed-spin (3/2, 5/2) have been investigated. • The magnetic and thermodynamic behaviors have been explored. • The turnover phenomenon has been found. • The triple-loop behavior has been observed. Based on the Monte Carlo simulation, we have investigated the magnetic and thermodynamic behaviors of the graphene-like quantum dots described by a ferrimagnetic mixed-spin (3/2, 5/2) Ising model. The curves of the magnetization, magnetic susceptibility, internal energy and the specific heat as a function of temperature have been given under various physical parameters. The interesting turnover phenomenon has been found owing to the competition between the crystal field and temperature. It is found that the value of the blocking temperature increases with decreasing the crystal field or increasing the exchange coupling and external magnetic field. We have also investigated the hysteresis loops and found the impossibility of the triple-loop hysteresis behavior for certain parameters. The area of the hysteresis loops can be improved by increasing the exchange coupling and decreasing the absolute values of the crystal field and temperature. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
