Abstract

In this paper, we have studied the magnetic properties of a bi-layer naphthalene-like nano-structure with RKKY (Ruderman-Kittel-Kasuya-Yoshida) interactions, using Monte Carlo simulations. The system consists of two naphthalene-like magnetic planes, with mixed spins σ = 7/2 and S = 1, separated by L non-magnetic layers. In the first part of this study, the ground state phase diagrams for zero temperature are reported and discussed. In the second part, we investigate the effect of the RKKY interactions on the magnetizations and susceptibilities of the system, for non-zero temperature values. It is found that the value of the blocking temperature decreases when increasing the number of non-magnetic layers. Furthermore, the effect of the ferrimagnetic parameter (JSσ) on the blocking temperature behavior has been investigated. Finally, the effect of different physical parameters, namely the number of non-magnetic layers, the ferrimagnetic parameter, the crystal field and the temperature, on the magnetic hysteresis cycles are illustrated.
