Magnetic and thermodynamic characteristics of a rectangle Ising nanoribbon

Using Monte Carlo simulation, we investigated magnetic and thermodynamic characteristics of the rectangle core-shell ferrimagnetic mixed-spin (3/2, 2) Ising nanoribbon under the effects of sublattice crystal field, exchange coupling and temperature. Typical temperature dependence of the total magnetization, the core and shell magnetization, the susceptibility and the internal energy for several fixed values of Hamiltonian parameters were discussed in detail. The phase diagrams of the critical and compensation temperatures were presented in various Hamiltonian parameter planes. In addition, particular emphasis was given to the interesting multi-cycle hysteresis behaviors of the total system and sublattices. Our results show reasonable consistency compared with many previous theoretical and experimental studies. (C) 2020 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
