Abstract

We apply Monte Carlo simulation techniques to study the magnetic behavior of a mixed ferrimagnetic Ising model on sites of a square lattice of LxL size, with L = 120, where 5/2 spins are alternated with 7/2 spins. We consider an antiferromagnetic interaction next-neighbor, ferromagnetic interactions next-nearest-neighbor, and an external magnetic field in the Hamiltonian that defines the model. We characterize the effects of an external magnetic field on the behavior of the system through the analysis of spin compensation points, discontinuous transitions, and hysteresis loops at various temperatures in the total magnetization and magnetic susceptibility. At the end, we study the phase diagrams of the critical, compensation and discontinuous transition temperatures. The physical phenomena experienced by the system under study are relevant to the application in magneto-optical recordings, in the synthesis and construction of molecular-based magnets and have technological applications in the manipulation and storage of magnetic information. We found some phenomena not reported in previous works on the same system.
