Abstract
The thermodynamics properties of a ferromagnetic Heisenberg model with the exchange anisotropy of a spin-1 system in presence of single-ion anisotropy (D) and external magnetic field (h) are studied here using the pair approximation approach. We treat the model in three-dimensional lattice with coordination number z = 6. Other coordination numbers have been also examined. Within this approximation based on Gibbs free energy, we investigate the effect of both single-ion and exchange coupling anisotropies on the thermodynamic quantities such as magnetization, entropy, heat capacity, susceptibility and entropy change as in-process measures. The objective is to describe magnetocaloric effect (MCE) and relative cooling power aiming to optimize them. We find some interesting phenomena in these quantities due to external magnetic field, exchange anisotropy and single-ion anisotropy. For conflicting interactions, re-entrance behavior can occur. Interestingly, high spin size as well as strong exchange or single-ion anisotropy can improve the MCE performances.
