Abstract
We investigate the static and dynamic properties of spin-crossover systems in the presence of an external magnetic field using two-sublattice Ising-like Hamiltonian. At low temperatures both sublattices are in the LS state, and in the HS state at high temperatures. The new feature of spin-crossover is depicted for our model when we take the non-equivalent sublattices JA≠JB, the two-step spin-crossover phase transition is obtained with the presence of the hysteresis loop. In order to study the properties of two-step spin-crossover, we use the lowest approximation of the cluster variation method for static properties. The dynamic properties of the system with bilinear interactions are studied by the path probability method. We present high-spin state fraction nHS vs temperature and magnetic field variations for constant values of the degeneracy ratio between high-spin and low-spin states. In the present model, we obtained the relaxation curves of the order parameters SA and SB using different temperature values. Finally, the flow diagram of the order parameters is depicted for different values of rate constant k1 and temperature, which displays the stable, metastable, and unstable properties. Static and dynamic self-consistent equations of the system were performed by using Newton-Raphson and Runge-Kutta methods.
