Effect of exchange interaction in ferromagnetic superlattices: A Monte Carlo study

doi:10.1088/1674-1056/25/10/107502

Abstract The Monte Carlo simulation is used to investigate the magnetic properties of ferromagnetic superlattices through the Ising model. The reduced critical temperatures of the ferromagnetic superlattices are studied each as a function of layer thickness for different values of exchange interaction. The exchange interaction in each layer within the interface and the crystal field in the unit cell are studied. The magnetic coercive fields and magnetization remnants are obtained for different values of exchange interaction, different values of temperature and crystal field with fixed values of physical parameters.

Keywords: Monte Carlo simulations superlattice critical temperature magnetic coercive field
