Magnetic properties of the spin-3/2 Blume-Capel model on a hexagonal Ising nanowire

Abstract

Magnetic properties, such as magnetizations, internal energy, specific heat, entropy, Helmholtz free energy, and phase diagrams of the spin-3/2 Blume-Capel model on a hexagonal Ising nanowire with core-shell structure are studied by using the effective-field theory with correlations. The hysteresis behaviors of the system are also investigated and the effects of Hamiltonian parameters on hysteresis behaviors are discussed in detail. The obtained results are compared with some theoretical results and a qualitatively good agreement is found.
