Dynamic phase transitions in the kinetic mixed spin-1/2 and spin-5/2 Ising model under a time-dependent oscillating magnetic field

We calculate the dynamic phase transition (DPT) temperatures and present the dynamic phase diagrams in the kinetic mixed spin-1/2 and spin-5/2 Ising model under the presence of a time-dependent oscillating external magnetic field. We employ the Glauber transition rates to construct the set of mean-field dynamic equations. The time variation of the average magnetizations and the thermal behavior of the dynamic magnetizations are investigated, extensively. The nature (continuous or discontinuous) of the transitions is characterized by studying the thermal behaviors of the dynamic magnetizations. The DPT points are obtained and the phase diagrams are presented in two different planes. Phase diagrams contain four fundamental phases and three coexistence or mixed phases, which strongly depend on interaction parameters. The phase diagrams are discussed and a comparison is made with the results of the other mixed spin Ising systems.     

Dynamic magnetic properties in the kinetic mixed spin-2 and spin-5/2 Ising model under a time-dependent magnetic field

We extend the recent paper [W. Jiang, V-C. Lo, B-D. Bai, J. Yang, Physica A 389 (2010) 2227-2233] to present a study, within a mean-field approach, the dynamic magnetic properties of the mixed spin-2 and spin-5/2 Ising ferrimagnetic system, which corresponds the molecular-based magnetic materials AFe^IIFe^III(C₂O₄)₃ [ A=N(n-C_nH_2n+1)₄, n=3-5], by using the Glauber-type stochastic dynamics. This mixed Ising ferrimagnetic system is used on a layered honeycomb lattice in which Fe^II (S=5/2) and Fe^III (σ=2) occupy sites. First, we investigate the time variations of average order parameters to find the phases in the system and then the thermal behavior of the dynamic order parameters to obtain the dynamic phase transition (DPT) points as well as to characterize the nature (first-or second-order) phase transitions. We also present the dynamic phase diagrams and study the dynamic magnetic hysteresis loop behaviors of the kinetic mixed spin-2 and spin-5/2 Ising ferrimagnetic system. The results are compared with some experimental and theoretical works and a good overall agreement is found.     

Phase diagrams in mixed spin-3/2 and spin-2 Ising system with two alternative layers within the effective-field theory

The phase diagrams in the mixed spin-3/2 and spin-2 Ising system with two alternative layers on a honeycomb lattice are investigated and discussed by the use of the effective-field theory with correlations. The interaction of the nearest-neighbour spins of each layer is taken to be positive (ferromagnetic interaction) and the interaction of the adjacent spins of the nearest-neighbour layers is considered to be either positive or negative (ferromagnetic or anti-ferromagnetic interaction). The temperature dependence of the layer magnetizations of the system is examined to characterize the nature (continuous or discontinuous) of the phase transitions and obtain the phase transition temperatures. The system exhibits both second-and first-order phase transitions besides triple point (T P ), critical end point (E), multicritical point (A), isolated critical point (C) and reentrant behaviour depending on the interaction parameters. We have also studied the temperature dependence of the total magnetization to find the compensation points, as well as to determine the type of behaviour, and N-type behaviour in N′eel classification nomenclature existing in the system. The phase diagrams are constructed in eight different planes and it is found that the system also presents the compensation phenomena depending on the sign of the bilinear exchange interactions.     

Ising model on mixed two-dimensional lattices

We inform results on physical and topological magnitudes related to the ground level of Ising model on mixed two-dimensional lattices of coordination numbers 4 (Kagomé lattices) and 5 (five-point star lattices). We consider little clusters of size N, where N represents the total number of spins, subject to periodic boundary conditions. On these systems we randomly distribute ±J nearest-neighbor interactions (+J: antiferromagnetic, −J: ferromagnetic (F)). Concentration x of F interactions is varied in the interval (0,1). Two different methods are used to obtain results reported here. First, a numerical method related to multiple replicas. Second, an analytical method based on probabilistic analysis of flat and curved plaquettes. Both methods are complementary to each other. Initially, this study is restricted to calculate frustration of plaquettes and bonds, energy and bond order parameter at T=0. The results of magnitudes informed here are compared with the similar ones obtained for honeycomb, square and triangular lattices.     

Magnetic phase diagrams of axial third-nearest-neighbour Ising model

The magnetic phase diagrams of axial third-nearest-neighbour Ising (A3NNI) model under an external field have been studied by means of the molecular field approximation. The phase boundaries among paramagnetic, (anti)ferromagnetic and various modulated phases are determined by analysing the frequency-dependent susceptibility, or by solving the coupled equations for magnetisations for spins up to 17, iteratively. The resultant phase diagram is found to be very consistent with the exact results for the ground state spin ordering and to be far improved than existing finite temperature phase diagrams for the same model.     

Construction of phase diagrams for nanoscaled Ising thin films on the honeycomb lattice using cellular automata simulation approach

The phase diagrams of the three-layer Ising model on the honeycomb lattice with a diluted surface have been constructed using the probabilistic cellular automata based on Glauber algorithm. The effects of the exchange interactions on the phase diagrams have been investigated. A general mathematical expression for the critical temperature is obtained in terms of relative coupling r = J₁/J and Δ_s = (J_s/J) ? 1, where J and J_s represent the nearest neighbor coupling within inner- and surface-layers, respectively, and each magnetic site in the surface-layer is coupled with the nearest neighbor site in the inner-layer via the exchange coupling J₁. In the case of antiferromagnetic coupling between surface-layer and inner-layer, system reveals many interesting phenomena, such as the possibility of existence of compensation line before the critical temperature.     

The dynamic phase transition in the spin-1/2 Ising system within the path probability method

We study the dynamic phase transitions and present the dynamic phase diagrams of the spin-1/2 Ising system under the presence of a time-varying (sinusoidal) external magnetic field within the path probability method (PPM) of Kikuchi and we observe that the PPM gives exactly the same result as with the Glauber-type stochastic dynamics based on the mean-field theory (DMFT). We also investigate the influence of the rate constant on the dynamic phase diagrams in detail and five new and interesting dynamic phase diagrams are found. We notice that the derivation of the dynamic equations by using the PPM is more clear and easier than within the DMFT and the Glauber-type stochastic dynamics based on the effective-field theory (DEFT). The advantages and disadvantages of the PPM over the DMFT and DEFT are also discussed.     

Continuum of compensation points in the mixed spin Ising ferrimagnet with four-spin interaction and next-nearest neighbor coupling

We investigate the magnetic properties of the mixed spin-1/2 and spin-1 Ising ferrimagnetic system with four-spin interaction J₄ and next-nearest neighbor (NNN) coupling J′. We perform exact ground-state calculations and use the finite cluster approximation, based on a single cluster theory, to derive the state equations for the two-dimensional square lattice. The main attention has been paid to the study of the phase diagram for both the transition and compensation temperatures. We find a number of characteristic behaviors. The model with only NNNs induces one compensation point while the four-spin interaction does not. The investigation of the model with both interactions shows a number of characteristic behaviors. In particular, the presence of the four-spin interaction, according to J₄ and J′, may lead to one, two or possibly a continuum of compensation points. This phenomenon may have important applications in technology such as thermomagnetic writing and erasing at the compensation point.     

Random field effects on the phase diagrams of spin-1/2 Ising model on a honeycomb lattice

The Ising model with quenched random magnetic fields is examined for single Gaussian, bimodal and double Gaussian random field distributions by introducing an effective field approximation that takes into account the correlations between different spins that emerge when expanding the identities. Random field distribution shape dependence of the phase diagrams, magnetization and internal energy is investigated for a honeycomb lattice with a coordination number q=3. The conditions for the occurrence of reentrant behavior and tricritical points on the system are also discussed in detail.     

Mixed spin Ising model with four-spin interaction and random crystal field

The effects of fluctuations of the crystal field on the phase diagram of the mixed spin-1/2 and spin-1 Ising model with four-spin interactions are investigated within the finite cluster approximation based on a single-site cluster theory. The state equations are derived for the two-dimensional square lattice. It has been found that the system exhibits a variety of interesting features resulting from the fluctuation of the crystal field interactions. In particular, for low mean value D of the crystal field, the critical temperature is not very sensitive to fluctuations and all transitions are of second order for any value of the four-spin interactions. But for relatively high D, the transition temperature depends on the fluctuation of the crystal field, and the system undergoes tricritical behaviour for any strength of the four-spin interactions. We have also found that the model may exhibit reentrance for appropriate values of the system parameters.

Dynamic compensation temperature in kinetic spin-5/2 Ising model on hexagonal lattice

We present a study of the dynamic behavior of a two-sublattice spin-5/2 Ising model with bilinear and crystal-field interactions in the presence of a time-dependent oscillating external magnetic field on alternate layers of a hexagonal lattice by using the Glauber-type stochastic dynamics. The lattice is formed by alternate layers of spins σ=5/2 and S=5/2. We employ the Glauber transition rates to construct the mean-field dynamic equations. First, we investigate the time variations of the average sublattice magnetizations to find the phases in the system and then the thermal behavior of the dynamic sublattice magnetizations to characterize the nature (first- or second-order) of the phase transitions and to obtain the dynamic phase transition (DPT) points. We also study the thermal behavior of the dynamic total magnetization to find the dynamic compensation temperature and to determine the type of the dynamic compensation behavior. We present the dynamic phase diagrams, including the dynamic compensation temperatures, in nine different planes. The phase diagrams contain seven different fundamental phases, thirteen different mixed phases, in which the binary and ternary combination of fundamental phases and the compensation temperature or the L-type behavior strongly depend on the interaction parameters.     

Dynamic compensation temperatures in a mixed spin-1 and spin-3/2 Ising system under a time-dependent oscillating magnetic field

We study the existence of dynamic compensation temperatures in the mixed spin-1 and spin-3/2 Ising ferrimagnetic system Hamiltonian with bilinear and crystal-field interactions in the presence of a time-dependent oscillating external magnetic field on a hexagonal lattice. We employ the Glauber transitions rates to construct the mean-field dynamic equations. We investigate the time dependence of an average sublattice magnetizations, the thermal behavior of the dynamic sublattice magnetizations and the total magnetization. From these studies, we find the phases in the system, and characterize the nature (continuous or discontinuous) of transitions as well as obtain the dynamic phase transition (DPT) points and the dynamic compensation temperatures. We also present dynamic phase diagrams, including the compensation temperatures, in the five different planes. A comparison is made with the results of the available mixed spin Ising systems.

Thermodynamic properties of the mixed spin-1/2 and spin-1 Ising chain with both longitudinal and transverse single-ion anisotropies

The mixed spin-1/2 and spin-1 Ising chain with both longitudinal and transverse single-ion anisotropies is solved exactly by means of a mapping to the spin-1/2 Ising chains with alternating transverse fields and the Jordan-Wigner transformation. Within this scheme, the thermodynamic quantities of this model are rigorously determined by a recursion formula derived for the partition function based on the reduced spin-1/2 transverse Ising model. The corresponding thermodynamic properties are calculated and discussed.     

Phase diagrams in an ultra-thin spin-1 transverse Ising film with bond or site dilution at surfaces

The phase diagrams of two nanoscaled thin films with bond and site dilutions at the surfaces, described by the spin-1 transverse Ising model, are investigated by the use of an effective field theory with correlations. A number of characteristic phenomena have been found in them, which are heavily dependent on the ratios (r = J₁/J and p = Ω_S/Ω, where J is the exchange interaction in the inner layer, J₁ is the exchange interaction between the surface and the next inner layer, Ω_S is the transverse field at the surfaces and Ω is the transverse field in the inner layer). Some of them have exhibited very similar behaviors found in the two spin-1/2 nanoscaled thin films with bond and site dilutions at the surfaces.     

The temperature-dependent phase diagrams of the spin-3/2 Ising model on a FM/AFM two-layer lattice with a crystal field

The temperature-dependent phase diagrams of the spin-3/2 Ising model on a two-layer Bethe lattice with ferromagnetic (FM)/antiferromagnetic (AFM) intra-layer and either FM or AFM type inter-layer interactions are investigated under a constant magnetic field (H) and in the presence of a crystal field (D) by using exact recursion equations in a pairwise approach for coordination numbers q=3,4 and 6, in detail. In the light of the ground-state (GS) phase diagrams, the temperature-dependent phase diagrams of the model are obtained by studying the thermal variations of the order parameters, response functions and free energy. Then, they are illustrated on the (kT/J₁,J₃/J₁) and (kT/J₁,J₂/J₁) planes for the given system parameters. It is observed that the system exhibits first- and second-order phase transitions for all q values, and hence, in some cases, tricritical points. The existence of critical-end points and that of isolated points are also observed. The re-entrant behavior owes its presence to the two Néel temperatures, T_N, that are present for all q.     

Random crystal-field effects in a mixed spin-1/2 and spin-2 ferrimagnetic Ising system

The magnetic properties of a mixed spin ferrimagnetic system σ?=?1/2 and S?=?2 at the sites of a square lattice with a random crystal field are studied by the mean field approximation. The ground state of the system is determined and the total magnetization is plotted according to the model parameters. Different behaviors for the thermal dependence of the magnetization are highlighted. In particular, one sees the appearance of one or two compensating points and many types of phase diagrams with first and second order phase transition lines as well as isolated critical and tricritical points.
