Abstract

The Monte Carlo simulation of the critical behavior of multilayer structures based on anisotropic Heisenberg model is performed. The influence of the uniaxial anisotropy on the critical behavior of the thin Heisenberg-like film is described. The investigation of non-equilibrium critical behavior of multilayer structure which correspond to the nanoscale superlattice Co/Cu demonstrates that the aging effects can be observed in a wider temperature range than for bulk magnetic systems.

Highlights

  • Magnetic order in the multilayers is complex due to a strong influence of the shape and the magnetocrystalline anisotropies of the sample

  • This study includes the Monte Carlo simulation of the critical behavior of thin films and multilayers based on anisotropic Heisenberg model [2]

  • We calculate the equilibrium characteristics of the thin Heisenberg films with the aim to to investigate the influence of uniaxial anisotropy on the critical behavior

Summary

Introduction

Magnetic order in the multilayers is complex due to a strong influence of the shape and the magnetocrystalline anisotropies of the sample. It is well known the fundamental role of competing interactions in the emerging features of low-dimensional systems. Among a wide number of numerical and theoretical investigations on equilibrium and dynamical properties of several model Hamiltonian of low-dimensional magnets, Heisenberg-like models are one of the most widely used to approach real magnetic materials [1]. This study includes the Monte Carlo simulation of the critical behavior of thin films and multilayers based on anisotropic Heisenberg model [2]
