Magnetism in an antiferromagnetic Ising nano-ladder under an applied transverse field

ABSTRACT

The phase diagram and magnetization curves of an antiferromagnetic Ising nano-ladder in an applied transverse field are investigated by using the effective-field theory with correlations. They are compared with those in the antiferromagnetic Ising ladder (or bulk). Some characteristic features, such as the reentrant phenomena, are found in these properties, when a finite transverse field h is applied or even when h?=?0.0.     

Unconventional magnetic properties in transverse Ising nanoislands: Effects of interlayer coupling

The phase diagram and magnetizations in two transverse Ising nanoislands with different (hexagonal and square) structures which are consisted of the two layers are examined by using the effective-field theory with correlations. The effects of interlayer coupling and two transverse fields at the center and the perimeter atoms on them are examined. We present some characteristic phenomena in the magnetic properties which come from the frustration induced by them.     

The effects of surface dilution on magnetic properties in a transverse Ising nanowire

The phase diagrams (transition temperature and compensation temperature) and magnetizations of a cylindrical nanowire with a (positive or negative) core–shell interaction and a surface dilution, described by the transverse Ising model (TIM), are investigated by the use of the effective-field theory with correlations. The magnetic properties of the system are strongly affected by the surface dilution. In particular, the temperature dependences of magnetizations in the system have shown many characteristic phenomena, depending on the selected physical parameters.     

Ferrimagnetism in a decorated Ising nanowire

The magnetic properties (phase diagram and total magnetization) of a decorated Ising nanowire are examined by the use of the effective field theory with correlations. The system, consisting of spin-1/2 atoms and decorating spin-S  (S>1/2)$(S>1/2)$ atoms with a crystal-field interaction on the bonds, show ferrimagnetism, compensation point and reentrant behavior.     

Characteristic phenomena in nanoscaled transverse Ising thin films with diluted surfaces

The phase diagrams and magnetizations of two nanoscaled thin films with a negative interlayer interaction and dilution at the surfaces, described by the transverse Ising model, are investigated by the use of the effective field theory with correlations. A lot of characteristic phenomena which heavily depend on the surface parameters can be found in them. In particular, the behaviors of a compensation point (or points) in these nanosystems with a negative interlayer interaction at the surfaces are examined by changing the transverse field and the physical parameters at the surfaces.     

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.     

Generation of an external magnetic field with the spin orientation effect in a single layer Ising nanographene

In this work, the magnetic properties of the single layer Ising nanogaphene (SLING) are investigated by using Kaneyoshi approach (KA) within the effective field theory for different spin orientations of its magnetic atoms. We find that the magnetizations of the SLING has no phase transition, certain Curie temperature and distinct peak of susceptibility at T_c for the some spin orientations at the zero external magnetic field (H=0.0). Because these behaviors occur at H≠0.0, we suggest that the SLING generates an external magnetic field and behaves as an external magnetic field generator for these spin orientations. However, the SLING exhibits ferromagnetic behaviors for only one spin orientations. But, it exhibits antiferromagnetic behaviors for the others. For the AFM cases, diamagnetic susceptibility behaviors and type II superconductivity hysteresis behaviors are obtained. We hope that these results can open a door to obtain new class of single layer graphene and graphene-based magnetic field generator devices with the spin orientation effect.     

Phase diagrams in an Ising nanotube (or nanowire) with a diluted surface; Effects of interlayer coupling at the surface

The phase diagrams and magnetizations of two nanosystems (nanotube and nanowire) with a dilution at the surface are investigated by the use of the effective field theory with correlations. In particular, the effects of interlayer coupling between the surface and the core on them are discussed for the two systems. Some interesting phenomena have been found in the phase diagrams and the thermal variations of magnetizations, especially for the nanotube with a very high dilution and the possibility of two compensation points in the nanowire with a small interlayer coupling.     

Investigation of critical phenomena and magnetism in amorphous Ising nanowire in the presence of transverse fields

A cylindrical magnetic nanowire system composed of ferromagnetic core and shell layers has been investigated by using effective field theory (EFT) with correlations in the presence of transverse fields and surface shell amorphization. Both weak and strong exchange couplings at the core–shell interface have been considered. The main attention has been focused on the former situation where the system exhibits similar characteristic features with that observed in thin film and semi-infinite systems in which the surface effects are prominent. A complete picture of the phase diagrams and magnetization profiles has been represented and the effect of the surface shell amorphization on these properties has been discussed. Furthermore, we have investigated the ground state behavior of total magnetization _mT$m_T$ curves and we have observed that _mT$m_T$ curves exhibit highly non-monotonous and exotic ground states in the presence of frustration in the surface shell. We have also analyzed the necessary conditions for the occurrence of reentrant behavior in the system.     

Phase diagrams of a transverse Ising nanowire

Phase diagrams of a cylindrical nanowire described by the transverse Ising model are investigated by the use of two theoretical frameworks, namely the mean field theory and the effective field theory with correlations. The phase diagram of the system is strongly affected by the surface situations. Some characteristic phenomena are found in the phase diagram, depending on the ratio of the physical parameters in the surface shell and the core.     

Dynamic behaviors of the hexagonal Ising nanowire

By utilizing the effective-field theory based on the Glauber-type stochastic dynamics, the dynamic behaviors of the hexagonal Ising nanowire (HIN) system in the presence of a time dependent magnetic field are obtained. The time variations of average order parameters and the thermal behavior of the dynamic order parameters are studied to analyze the nature of transitions and to obtain the dynamic phase transition points. The dynamic phase diagrams are introduced in the plane of the reduced temperature versus magnetic field amplitude. The dynamic phase diagrams exhibit coexistence phase region, several ordered phases and critical point as well as a reentrant behavior.     

Surface effects on a multilayer and multisublattice cubic nanowire with core/shell

A multilayer and multisublattice cubic nanowire is studied based on a shell/core and the effective-field theory. The formulas of the longitudinal and transverse magnetization for each sublattice of the nanowire are given. The surface parameters have intense effects on the magnetizations and phase diagrams (phase transition temperatures and compensation temperatures) of the system. Two compensation points do exist for certain values of the surface transverse field, the surface single-ion anisotropy and the surface exchange coupling in the system. This interesting phenomenon may be potential applications in information storage technology.     

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.     

Cluster fermionic Ising spin glass model with a transverse field

The fermionic Ising spin glass (SG) model in the presence of a transverse magnetic field Γ is studied within a cluster mean field theory. The model considers an infinite-range interaction among magnetic moments of clusters with a short-range ferromagnetic intracluster coupling J₀. The spin operators are written as a bilinear combination of fermionic operators. In this quantum SG model, the intercluster disorder is treated by using a framework of one-step replica symmetry breaking (RSB) within the static approximation. The effective intracluster interaction is then computed by means of an exact diagonalization method. Results for several values of cluster size n_s, Γ and J₀ are presented. For instance, the specific heat can show a broad maximum at a temperature T^∗ above the freezing temperature T_f, which is characterized by the intercluster RSB. The difference between T^∗ and T_f is enhanced by Γ, which suggests that the quantum effects can increase the ratio T^∗/T_f. Phase diagrams (T versus Γ) show that the critical temperature T_f(Γ) decreases for any values of n_s and J₀ when Γ increases until it reaches a quantum critical point at some value of Γ_c.     

Critical behavior of an anisotropic Ising antiferromagnet in both external longitudinal and transverse fields

In this paper we study the critical behavior of a two-sublattice Ising model on an anisotropic square lattice in both uniform longitudinal (H  ) and transverse (Ω$\Omega$) fields by using the effective-field theory. The model consists of ferromagnetic interaction J_x in the x direction and antiferromagnetic interaction J_y in the y direction in the presence of the H   and Ω$\Omega$ fields. We obtain the phase diagrams in the H–T$H–T$ and Ω–T$\Omega –T$ planes changing values of the Ω$\Omega$ and H   parameters, respectively for fixed value at λ=_Jx/_Jy=1$\lambda =J_x/J_y=1$. At null temperature, the ground state phase diagram in the Ω–H$\Omega –H$ plane for several values of λ$\lambda$ parameter is analyzed. In the particular case of λ=1$\lambda =1$ we compare our results with mean-field theory (MFT) and was not observed reentrant behavior around of the critical field _Hc/_Jy=2.0$H_c/J_y=2.0$ for Ω=0$\Omega =0$ by using EFT.     

Quantum phase transition in spin glasses with multi-spin interactions

We examine the phase diagram of the p-interaction spin glass model in a transverse field. We consider a spherical version of the model and compare with results obtained in the Ising case. The analysis of the spherical model, with and without quantization, reveals a phase diagram very similar to that obtained in the Ising case. In particular, using the static approximation, reentrance is observed at low temperatures in both the quantum spherical and Ising models. This is an artifact of the approximation and disappears when the imaginary time dependence of the order parameter is taken into account. The resulting phase diagram is checked by accurate numerical investigation of the phase boundaries.
