Abstract

The magnetic properties of a diluted spin-2 and spin-5/2 ferrimagnetic Ising system are investigated on the basis of the effective-field theory with correlations. In particular, the effect of a positive single-ion anisotropy D on the compensation temperature in a pure system with D only on spin-5/2 atoms is investigated, in order to clarify the characteristic feature of the temperature dependence of the total magnetization M observed in a molecular-based magnetic material, . The influences of D and the concentrations of magnetic atoms on the properties of the system on a honeycomb lattice are examined. The results show that several (two or three) compensation points are possible in the diluted system with special values of D and concentrations of magnetic atoms.
