Abstract
Small cluster approximation and Monte Carlo Metropolis algorithm are applied to demonstrate that field cooling induces a unidirectional magnetic anisotropy of small clusters of Cu in Rb 2Cu 1− x Co x F 4. Within the Ising model, this anisotropy appears as a net magnetization at zero magnetic field. The effect is due to a coupling between the orbital ordering within clusters of Cu impurities and the antiferromagnetic ordering of Co matrix.
