The magnetic properties of the mixed spin-1 and spin-5/2 Ising ferrimagnetic model on a hexagonal lattice have been studied using the Monte Carlo simulations. The hexagonal lattice study is formed by alternate layers of spins σ = 1 and S = 5 ∕ 2 . The thermal variations of the magnetizations are given. The magnetic hysteresis cycles are established for different values of exchange interactions, crystal-field and temperatures. The magnetic coercive field is deduced. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

We study the thermodynamic and magnetic properties of an Ising bilayer ferrimagnet. The system is composed of two interacting non-equivalent planes in which the intralayer couplings are ferromagnetic while the interlayer interactions are antiferromagnetic. Moreover, one of the planes is randomly diluted. The study is carried out within a Monte Carlo approach employing the multiple histogram reweighting method and finite-size scaling tools. The occurrence of a compensation phenomenon is verified and the compensation temperature, as well as the critical temperature for the model, are obtained as functions of the Hamiltonian parameters. We present a detailed discussion of the regions of the parameter space where the compensation effect is present or absent. Our results are then compared to a mean-field-like approximation applied to the same model by Balcerzak and Szałowski (2014). Although the Monte Carlo and mean-field results agree qualitatively, our quantitative results are significantly different. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Monte Carlo simulation has been performed to explore the compensation temperature and the critical behavior on a triple layer spin (1-1/2-1) cubic system with ferrimagnetic coupling at the two interfaces. Our results showed that the compensation temperature T c o m p is less influenced by increasing the number of layers or the exchange coupling of the spin 1 2 layer. Gradual increases in the critical temperature T c is shown with increasing the exchange coupling in spin 1 layers or spin 1 2 layer. Finally, the above results have been confirmed by the simulation performed on the heat capacity and Binder cumulant. • The compensation temperature is less influenced by increasing the number of layers. • Compensation temperature disappears for specific values of exchange interaction. • Gradual increases in the critical temperature with increasing the exchange coupling. • Compensation temperature disappears for specific values of exchange interaction.

We study the magnetic and thermodynamic properties of a spin- 1 ∕ 2 Ising system containing three layers, each of which is composed exclusively of one out of two possible types of atoms, A or B. The A-A and B-B bonds are ferromagnetic while the A-B bonds are antiferromagnetic. The study is performed through Monte Carlo simulations using the Wolff algorithm and the data are analyzed with the aid of the multiple-histogram reweighting technique and finite-size scaling tools. We verify the occurrence of a compensation phenomenon and obtain the compensation and critical temperatures of the model as functions of the Hamiltonian parameters. The influence of each parameter on the overall behavior of the system is discussed in detail and we present our results in the form of phase diagrams dividing the parameter space in regions where the compensation phenomenon is present or absent. Our results may provide invaluable information for experimentalists seeking to build materials with desired characteristics. • Ferrimagnetic spin-1/2 Ising trilayer is studied. • Each layer can only have atoms of one out of two types (A or B). • Only A-B couplings are antiferromagnetic. • Magnetic properties of the system are studied through Monte Carlo simulations. • Compensation phenomenon is found and phase diagrams are obtained.

The critical, first order, and spin compensation behaviors of a ferrimagnetic Ising system, consisting of spins S = 3 ∕ 2 and Q = 5 ∕ 2 alternating on a square lattice, have been studied by Monte Carlo (MC) simulations and Mean-Field Theory (MF). The system is defined by a Hamiltonian (H) that contains ferromagnetic next-nearest-neighbors interactions between S spins (J 2 ′) and Q spins (J 3 ′), as well as external magnetic field (h ′) and anisotropy (D 1 ′ , D 2 ′) interactions. The effects of D 1 ′ crystal and h ′ magnetic fields on the critical, double first order transition, and compensation phenomena are analyzed in detail. We found that the existence of a double first order phase transition depends on the temperature and the strength of h ′. • We calculate the finite temperatura diagrams of the magnetization of the model. • The system exhibits compensation temperatures and first order transitions. • We analyze the relation between critical, compensation and first order temperatures. • The compensation temperatures and first order transitions depends of h' and D ' 1.
