Abstract

We present a computer simulation designed to serve as an educational tool for insight into the microscopic nature of spontaneous magnetization, using the spin- Ising model at low temperatures. The transition of a crystalline substance consisting of magnetic and non-magnetic atoms to the ferromagnetic state and the surface effect on the said transition are studied using this simulation. Within the framework of percolation theory, the strength and the fractal structure of the infinite cluster and the correlation length are further aspects that can be analysed by means of this computational application. Resumen. Presentamos una simulación por ordenador diseñada para servir como herramienta didáctica para la comprensión de la naturaleza microscópica de la magnetización espontánea, utilizando el modelo de Ising con spin a bajas temperaturas. La transición al estado ferromagnético de una sustancia cristalina formada por atomos magnéticos y no magnéticos y el efecto de las superficies en dicha transición, son estudiados mediante esta simulación. Dentro del marco de la teoría de la percolación, la magnitud y la estructura fractal del racimo infinito y la longitud de correlación, son aspectos que pueden ser también analizados mediante esta aplicación informática.
