Using Monte Carlo simulations under the Metropolis algorithm, the magnetic properties of a Mixed Spins (3/2, 1) cubic lattice modeled by mixed spin Ising model have been investigated. First, we discuss the ground state phase diagrams at zero temperature corresponding to different parameters of the model. Then, by choosing ferrimagnetic phases found in the obtained phase diagrams, we analyze the magnetization and compensation behaviors in our system. Striking results have been found; especially, the competition between exchange coupling interactions generates a critical temperature T C and a compensation temperature T comp with T comp < T C . Moreover, the presence of crystal and external magnetic fields leads to the appearance of a second compensation temperature with T c o m p 1 < T c o m p 2 ≪ T C . [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

We have employed first-principles calculations of density functional theory (DFT) with GGA and GGA+U exchange correlation to study structural, magnetic, and electronic properties of chromium nitride (CrN) in the rock salt (NaCl) structures. The obtained data from DFT calculations is used as an input in high-temperature series expansions (HTSEs) combined with the Padé approximants (PA) method and Monte Carlo simulation (MC) for the Ising model to investigate the magnetic properties of CrN. The obtained results show that CrN is more stable in the antiferromagnetic order, and undergoes structural and magnetic transitions from an antiferromagnetic NaCl structure to a nonmagnetic Pnma phase at 201 GPa. The density of states (DOS) with GGA approach shows that CrN has a metallic behavior in both FM and AFM configurations whereas with GGA+U CrN is semiconductor in AFM and half-metallic in FM order. The Neel temperature (TN) obtained by HTSE and MC is in agreement with available experimental data. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In this paper, we have studied the structural, electronic, and magnetic properties of the cubic perovskite system Mn4N using the first principles calculations based on density functional theory (DFT) with the generalized gradient approximation (GGA). The obtained data from DFT calculations are used as input data in Monte Carlo simulation with a mixed spin-5/2 and 1 Ising model to calculate the magnetic properties of this compound, such as the total, partial thermal magnetization, and the critical temperatures (TC). The obtained results show that Mn4N has a ferrimagnetic structure with two different sites of Mn in the lattice and presents a metallic behavior. The obtained TC is in good agreement with experimental results. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In this study, a bilayer Kagome lattice with RKKY interaction is described using a ferrimagnetic mixed spin-3/2 and spin-2 Ising model. Interesting compensation temperature and hysteresis loops of the system generated by various physical parameters, such as the crystal fields of sublattices (D a , D b), the interlayer exchange coupling (J R) and the intralayer exchange coupling (J b) are explored using Monte Carlo simulation. The results demonstrate that the compensation temperature (T comp), weaker D a and J b , and stronger D b , are favourable for the emergence of the compensation temperatures. Besides, under certain physical parameters, the system may exhibit triple-loop hysteresis behavior and multiple magnetization plateaus. • A ferrimagnetic mixed-spin (3/2, 2) Ising model on the bilayer Kagome lattice with RKKY interaction was proposed. • The effects of the crystal field, exchange coupling and non-magnetic layer were studied. • Magnetization, partial magnetization, and susceptibility were discussed. • Phase diagrams of the critical and compensation temperatures were obtained. • Interesting multi-loop hysteresis characteristics and magnetization plateaus were found.

The magnetic properties of Ising nanoisland with a ferrimagnetic spin-1 and 3/2 configuration are studied by Monte Carlo simulation. The ground state phase diagrams of mixed spins are obtained. The critical temperature is obtained for different values of exchange interactions and for different crystal fields. The magnetic hysteresis cycle is obtained with different values of temperature, exchange interactions, and crystal field values. The applications of the Monte Carlo to the magnetic properties are extremely restricted for nanoislands, when the value of an interlayer coupling takes a large value, in contrast to a number of bulk studies.

A Monte Carlo simulation based on Metropolis algorithm has been used to investigate the magnetic properties of an Ising ferrimagnetic nanowire on a hexagonal structure, which is made up with L alternate layers of spins σ = ±3/2, ±1/2 and S = ±1, 0. The critical behaviors are studied, in the absence as well as in the presence of crystal field interactions. The obtained results show the existence of some interesting phenomena, such as the appearance of different types of phase diagrams. Furthermore, tricritical point, isolated critical point, critical end point, and compensation behavior are found for appropriate values of the system parameters. [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.

• A ferrimagnetic double-layer core–shell Ising graphene nanoisland was studied in an oscillating magnetic field. • The dynamic order parameter, the susceptibility and the internal energy were discussed by Monte Carlo simulation. • The phase diagrams as well as the multiple-loop hysteresis behaviors were exhibited. • The behaviors of the coercivity and remanence under the influence of various parameters were investigated. By using Monte Carlo simulations, we discuss the dynamic magnetic properties of a double-layer core–shell graphene nanoisland with mixed-spin (2, 5/2) configuration in an oscillating magnetic field. We investigate the influence of exchange couplings, oscillating magnetic field, and temperature on the dynamic magnetic and thermodynamic properties of the system. We obtain the various characteristic curves of the dynamic order parameter, susceptibility, and internal energy as well as hysteresis loops. To better understand the impact of these physical parameters on the phase transition of the system, the phase diagrams are depicted. It should be noticed that the system can exhibit multiple-loop hysteresis behaviors under certain conditions. Besides, we plot the coercivity and remanence of the system under the influence of various parameters. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
