Dynamic magnetic properties and phase diagrams of Fe4N system

Abstract

The dynamic magnetic properties of the nonequilibrium Fe4N system are calculated on the basis of correlated effective-field theory (EFT). The dynamic phase diagrams are plotted for different values of the oscillating magnetic field and the crystal field. The reentrant behavior, the dynamic tricritical point and the dynamic critical end point observed in certain case by using EFT are established to emerge as the generic nonequilibrium features of the Fe4N system. Moreover, we compare our results with those produced by mean-field theory (MFT), and find that the first-order phase transition and the reentrant phenomena are significantly reduced due to the consideration of spin–spin thermal fluctuations in EFT approximations. Our findings lead us to conclude that the thermal fluctuations considered in EFT are a critical factor for the dynamic magnetic properties of the nonequilibrium Fe4N system.
