The phase diagrams and the magnetic properties of a ferrimagnetic mixed spin 1/2 and spin 1 Ising nanowire.

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]
