The dielectric properties and the hysteresis loops of the spin-1 Ising nanowire system with the effect of a negative core/shell coupling: A Monte Carlo study

International audienceThe Monte Carlo simulation technique has been used to study the effect of a negative core/shell coupling on the dielectric properties and the hysteresis behavior of the spin-1 Ising nanowire system with a square surface area. The influence of the temperature and the exchange coupling on the critical and compensation behaviors of the ferroelectric and ferrielectric nanowire are also investigated

The magnetic properties and hysteresis behaviors of the mixed spin-(1/2,1) Ferrimagnetic nanowire

In this work, the mixed spin Ising nanowire model consisting of a spin-1 ferromagnetic core, which is surrounded by a spin-1/2 ferromagnetic surface shell is studied in the presence of magnetic and crystal fields using of the Monte Carlo (MC) Simulations based on the heat bath algorithm. We assume that the exchange interaction between two nearest-neighbor spins at the surface shell and the core is antiferromagnetic. We have examined the effects of the surface and the crystal field on the critical and compensation temperatures. The thermodynamic properties, the hysteresis behaviors are also studied. For appropriate values of the system parameters, the compensation point and multi-loops are found

High Curie temperature in halfmetallic ferromagnets (Zn, Cr, Ti)Se and (Zn, Cr, Ti)Te for spintronic devices: Ab initio and Monte Carlo treatments

The current study is purposed to investigate the magnetic- and electronic-properties of Zn1-2xCrxTixSe and Zn1-2xCrxTixTe systems by means of Ab initio and Monte Carlo calculations. We have predicted that the two systems show ferromagnetic halfmetallic behavior with 100% spin polarization at the Fermi level and their ferromagnetic stability is attributed to the double exchange coupling. Our calculations suggest further that these compounds exhibit a 2nd order ferromagnetic transition with high Curie temperature. Thus, (Zn, Cr, Ti)Se and (Zn, Cr, Ti)Te compounds are strong candidates for spintronic devices, especially for magnetic random access memories (MRAM) based on the spin transfer torque

Thermodynamic properties and hysteresis behaviors of a mixed spin-3/2 and spin-1/2 Ising double walled ferrielectric nanotubes: A Monte Carlo study

International audienceThe hysteresis loops and the thermodynamic properties of a ferroelectric or ferrielectric double walled nanotubes (A and B) are studied within the Ising model with mixed spins (S-A = 3/2 and S-B = 1/2) in the presence of the crystal and the external longitudinal electric fields. We use the Monte Carlo method to investigate the effects of the external electric field, the crystal field and the exchange interactions on the total polarization, susceptibility, specific heat and the internal energy of a double walled nanotubes (DWNTs)

Quantum Monte Carlo study of dynamic magnetic properties of nano-graphene

Using the Quantum Monte Carlo simulation (QMCS), the dynamic blocking temperature of a nanographene bilayer has been investigated within the framework of the Transverse Ising Model (TIM) with mixed spins, under the existence of the time-dependent oscillating longitudinal magnetic field (h(t) = h(b) + h(0)cos(omega t)) and the transverse field (Omega). The influence of the time-dependent oscillating longitudinal magnetic field, the period of magnetic field (tau) and the transverse field (Omega) on the thermal behavior of the total longitudinal and transverse dynamic order parameters, the total dynamic magnetic susceptibility and the dynamic hysteresis of the nano-graphene bilayer are also studied. As results, we remark the appearance of multiple hysteresis loops and the system exhibits the superparamagnetic behavior at the dynamic blocking temperature. (C) 2018 Elsevier B.V.

Magnetoelectronic properties of GaN codoped with (V, Mn) impurities for spintronic devices: Ab-initio and Monte Carlo studies

In this work, we investigate the Magnetoelectronic properties of (V, Mn) codoped GaN using first principles calculations (FPCs) for the spintronic applications. We have obtained the ferromagnetic behavior in (Ga, V)N codoped with Mn atoms, which is believed to be caused by the double exchange mechanism. Moreover, it is observed that our system is halfmetallic at the Fermi level, with 100% spin polarization. The total magnetic moment of (V, Mn) codoped GaN is mainly originated from the V and Mn atoms, and the magnetic moment of V impurities rises with the concentration of V atoms while keeping constant that of the Mn atoms. In addition to that, the exchange coupling is obtained from FPCs and using the Ising model. The Monte Carlo method founded on the Heat Bath algorithm support our FPCs, by investigating the influence of the addition of Mn impurities to (Ga, V)N compound on the critical temperature T-C(MC), the magnetization per site M, the magnetic susceptibility chi and the specific heat C-V. We have found that T-C(MC) is above room temperature as well as the stability of the ferromagnetic state in (Ga, V)N becomes more important after the inclusion of the Manganese.

Dielectric Properties and Hysteresis Loops of a Ferroelectric Nanoparticle System Described by the Transverse Ising Model

International audienceIn this work, we use the effective field theory based on the probability distribution method to investigate the longitudinal and transverse polarizations, susceptibility, pyroelectric coefficient, and the hysteresis behavior of a ferroelectric cubic nanowire. The effects of the core-shell exchange interaction and the core-shell transverse fields on the longitudinal and transverse polarizations, the susceptibility, the pyroelectric coefficient, and the hysteresis loops of the system are examined. Some characteristic phenomena are found in the thermal variations, depending on the physical parameters in the shell and in the core

Half metallic ferromagnetic behavior in (Ga, Cr)N and (Ga, Cr, V)N compounds for spintronic technologies: Ab initio and Monte Carlo methods

In this article, we investigate the magnetic and electronic properties of GaN doped with simple and double impurities utilizing Ab initio and Monte Carlo studies. We have predicted that (Ga, Cr)N and (Ga, Cr, V)N compounds exhibit ferromagnetic- and halfmetallic-behavior with 100% spin polarization at the Fermi level. Moreover, we have found that Ga1-xCrxN and Ga1-2xCrxVxN (x = 0.04, 0.05 and 0.06) show a second order ferromagnetic transition and that their T-c is above room temperature. These predictions make (Ga, Cr)N and (Ga, Cr, V)N compounds strong candidates for spintronic technologies
