The ferrimagnetic nodal-line semiconductor Mn 3 Si 2 Te 6 , featuring a quasi-two-dimensional crystal structure, has attracted significant attention owing to its rich physical properties. Here, we systematically investigate the magnetic properties of its isostructural compound, Mn 3 Si 2 Se 6. The magnetism of this material is attributed to the Mn atoms, which exhibit antiferromagnetic interactions among the Mn atoms. The competition between antiferromagnetic exchange interactions results in an overall ferrimagnetic state, with a second-order transition from paramagnetic to ferrimagnetic occurring at 68 K. Critical exponents are derived using various common experimental techniques, including the modified Arrott plot, Kouvel-Fisher method, and critical isotherm analysis. The results indicate that the magnetism of Mn 3 Si 2 Se 6 closely aligns with the mean-field model, with critical exponents β , γ , and δ determined as 0.475(3), 1.059(3), and 3.20(1), respectively, at the critical temperature of 68.3(2) K. Moreover, the curves of the magnetic entropy change − Δ S M (T , H) exhibit a peak around T c , with − Δ S M max amounts to 4.61 (3.63) J kg−1 K−1 for H ∕∕ ab (∕∕ c) with a field change of 7 T. The estimated magnetic entropy value near T c through specific heat is remarkably saller than the expected spin entropy of Mn2+ ions, indicating the presence of short-range interactions in the paramagnetic region. • The competition exchange interactions result in an overall ferrimagnetic state in Mn 3 Si 2 Se 6. • Magnetism of Mn 3 Si 2 Se 6 aligns with the mean-field model. • Specific heat analysis reveals short-range interactions in Mn 3 Si 2 Se 6 's paramagnetic region.

• 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]

In this work, the Effective Field Theory (EFT) based on the probability distribution method is used to study the phase diagrams of an antiferroelectric nanowire with core/shell morphology, in the presence of a random transverse field. We have investigated the effects of the temperature, the concentration c , the surface and the interfacial couplings on the critical and the compensation behaviors (T c and T comp) of the system. The polarization, the susceptibility and the pyroelectric coefficient as a function of the temperature are examined. In addition, the phase diagrams of the nanowire are investigated in detail by modifying the system parameters. It is found that the interfacial coupling | J int / J c | shifts the random transverse field to higher values, therefore the area of the ordered phase is enlarged, which could affects the critical and the compensation temperatures. • The phase diagrams of a nanowire with antiferroelectric interfacial coupling are examined by the effective field theory. • The effect of the antiferromagnetic interfacial coupling on the critical and the compensation behaviors is studied. • The influence of the random transverse field on electric properties. • The dependence of the polarization, pyroelectric coefficient and susceptibility on the temperature are investigated.

Using the mean field approximation (MFA), we have successfully investigated the magnetic properties of the mixed spin S j = ± 3 , ± 2 , ± 1 , 0 and σ i = ± 3 2 , ± 1 2 Ising ferrimagnetic system in a graphene layer. The effects of different physical parameters, namely exchange interactions, anisotropies, external field and temperature on the critical, first-order, compensation and hysteresis behaviors have been examined. The results show that, for specific values of these parameters, interesting phenomena appeared, such as compensation and multi-loop hysteresis behavior. It was shown that the compensation phenomenon only occurs if the exchange interaction J A (interaction between spins σ i), is greater than a certain minimum value J A m i n. We have also shown that, for fixed values of the anisotropies, the relation between J A m i n and the exchange interaction J B (interaction between S j), is a linear one. In addition, we found that each of the behaviors mentioned above is sensitive to the change of a certain physical parameter. Finally, we have verified that our results are comparable with those of other works. • The effects of physical parameters on magnetic properties were examined. • The system presents a first- and second-order transition. • Compensation appears in the system for specific values of physical parameters. • The phenomenon of multi-loop hysteresis cycles is present in the system.

A mixed spin-1 and spin-2 Ising ferrimagnetic system is investigated on a square lattice of spins S = ± 2 , ± 1 , 0 and Q = ± 1 , 0 in the presence of an h ′ external magnetic field, such that S and Q are nearest-neighbors antiferromagnetically coupled. Using Monte Carlo simulations we calculate the finite temperature phase diagrams of the magnetization and the specific heat. We consider ferromagnetic interactions between next-nearest neighbors, S spins ( J 2 ′ ), as well as between the Q spins ( J 3 ′ ), and crystal field and external magnetic field interactions at each point of the lattice. Under these conditions the system exhibits spin compensation temperatures and a first-order reentrant behavior in a certain range of the parameters of the Hamiltonian. We analyze the behavior of the critical and compensation temperatures, as well as the first order phase transition temperatures, with the external magnetic and crystal fields, and the next-nearest neighbors interaction between S spins. We found that the existence of compensation temperatures and a first order phase transition depends on the strength of h ′ , J 2 ′ and D ′ . [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]

An effective field method has been employed to study the magnetic properties of a ferrimagnetic mixed-spin Ising trilayer nanographene structure. The system is formed by alternate layers of two different spins atoms A (spin-1) and B (spin-½) arranged in a particular fashion A – B – A for which the nearest-neighbor spins of each layer are coupled ferromagnetically (J A and J B), whereas the cross atom interaction A - B (interlayer) is antiferromagnetic (J AB). We examined the effects of interlayer (or intra-layer) exchange coupling and single-ion anisotropy on the magnetization curves of the system. We found that the antiferromagnetic inter-layers (J AB < 0) coupling and the single-ion anisotropy have a dominant factor in the occurrence of the single or the double compensation temperature. We also deeply examined the occurrence of hysteresis loops and their various unusual forms. The results obtained are discussed in detail as a function of the main parameters of the magnetic Hamiltonian. Finally, we noticed that our results are in line with other recently reported theoretical and numerical studies. • Ferrimagnetic spin mixed with nano-graphene trilayer Ising model on effective field approach has been considered. • Effects of Intra- and inter-layers exchange couplings, as well as single-ion anisotropy have been analyzed. • One or more compensation points can be obtained under special choice of intrinsic parameters. • The shape and the multi-windows hysteresis loops can be controlled through exchange or single-ion anisotropy. • Application of synthetic ferrimagnetic multilayers are outlined.

• Critical properties of Fe-Al alloys in the bcc phase – phase diagram. • Ising model with exchange and superexchange interactions. • Monte Carlo simulations taking the effects of the Al cluster sizes. A spin-1/2 Ising model, defined in the body centered cubic lattice, is used to describe some of the thermodynamic properties of Fe p - Al q alloys, with p + q = 1. The model assumes, besides the nearest-neighbor exchange coupling, the existence of further next-nearest-neighbor superexchange interactions, where the latter ones depend on the aluminum atoms cluster size. The Ising system so considered is studied by employing Monte Carlo simulations, using a hybrid algorithm consisting of one single-spin Metropolis move together with one single-cluster Wolff algorithm allied, in addition, with single histograms procedures and finite-size scaling techniques. Quite good fits to the experimental results of the ordering critical temperature, as a function of Al concentration in the range 0 ⩽ q < 0.7 , are obtained and compared to more recent theoretical approaches done on the same alloys.
