Magnetic properties of decorated 2D kagome-like lattice

Magnetic properties of decorated 2D kagome-like lattice described by Ising model were studied by effective-field theory with correlations. Multiple hysteresis loops and possible situations for depressed saturation magnetizations were found within a range of parameters. A particular magnetization curve suddenly falling to zero corresponds to a first-order phase transition. In addition, phase diagrams of the decorated 2D kagome-like lattice were discussed.
