Abstract In this paper, we investigate the behavior of a ferromagnetic (FM) film on a nonmagnetic substrate near the Curie point by the computer simulation. The influence of the substrate is specified using the two-dimensional Frenkel-Kontorova (FK) potential. The study is carried out for a two-dimensional film described by the Ising model. At the first step, we calculate the positions of the substrate’s atoms in the ground state depending on the parameters. The parameters are (i) the ratio of the substrate periods and the crystal lattice of the film; and (ii) the ratio of the substrate potential amplitude to the elasticity coefficient of interatomic interaction. The period ratio determines the system coverage ratio. Minimization of the system’s total energy determines the ground state. Calculations show that the ground state has a periodic structure that differs from a square lattice with a coverage coefficient not equal to unity. We calculate the displacements of atoms from the equilibrium position for systems with a different linear scale.

AbstractIn the article, computer simulation on the behavior of a ferromagnetic thin film on a non-magnetic substrate by computer simulation is performed. The substrate is described by the two-dimensional Frenkel–Kontorova potential. The Ising model is used to describe the magnetic properties of a two-dimensional ferromagnetic film. The Wolf cluster algorithm is used to model the magnetic behavior of the film. A square lattice is considered for an unperturbed ferromagnetic film. Computer simulations show that mismatch of film and substrate periods results in film splitting into regions with different atomic structures. Magnetic properties for the obtained structure have been investigated. The hysteresis loop is calculated using the Metropolis algorithm. Deformations of the substrate lead to a decrease in the phase transition temperature. The Curie temperature decreases both when the substrate is compressed and when stretched. The change in phase transition temperature depends on the decreasing rate of exchange interaction with distance and the amplitude of interaction with the substrate. When the substrate is compressed, an increase in the amplitude of the interaction between the film and the substrate results in an increase in the phase transition temperature. The opposite effect occurs when the substrate is stretched. The hysteresis loop changes its shape and parameters when the substrate is deformed. Compression and stretching of the substrate results in a decrease in coercive force. The reduction in coercive force when compressing the substrate is greater than when stretching. The magnetization of the film is reduced by deformations at a fixed temperature.

Energy Landscapes

Structural disorder has been shown to be responsible for profound changes of the interaction-energy landscapes and collective dynamics of two-dimensional (2D) magnetic nanostructures. Weakly-disordered 2D ensembles have a few particularly stable magnetic configurations with large basins of attraction from which the higher-energy metastable configurations are separated by only small downward barriers. In contrast, strongly-disordered ensembles have rough energy landscapes with a large number of low-energy local minima separated by relatively large energy barriers. Consequently, the former show good-structure-seeker behavior with an unhindered relaxation dynamics that is funnelled towards the global minimum, whereas the latter show a time evolution involving multiple time scales and trapping which is reminiscent of glasses. Although these general trends have been clearly established, a detailed assessment of the extent of these effects in specific nanostructure realizations remains elusive. The present study quantifies the disorder-induced changes in the interaction-energy landscape of two-dimensional dipole-coupled magnetic nanoparticles as a function of the magnetic configuration of the ensembles. Representative examples of weakly-disordered square-lattice arrangements, showing good structure-seeker behavior, and of strongly-disordered arrangements, showing spin-glass-like behavior, are considered. The topology of the kinetic networks of metastable magnetic configurations is analyzed. The consequences of disorder on the morphology of the interaction-energy landscapes are revealed by contrasting the corresponding disconnectivity graphs. The correlations between the characteristics of the energy landscapes and the Markovian dynamics of the various magnetic nanostructures are quantified by calculating the field-free relaxation time evolution after either magnetic saturation or thermal quenching and by comparing them with the corresponding averages over a large number of structural arrangements. Common trends and system-specific features are identified and discussed.

Beg Model

The two-dimensional BEG model with nearest neighbor bilinear and positive biquadratic interaction is simulated on a cellular automaton, which is based on the Creutz cellular automaton for square lattice. Phase diagrams characterizing phase transitions of the model are presented for comparison with those obtained from other calculations. We confirm the existence of the tricritical points over the phase boundary for D/K>0. The values of static critical exponents (α, β, γ and ν) are estimated within the framework of the finite size scaling theory along D/K=-1 and 1 lines. The results are compatible with the universal Ising critical behavior except the points over phase boundary.

AbstractThe interactions of shocks with defects in two-dimensional square and hexagonal lattices of particles interacting through Lennard-Jones potentials are studied using molecular dynamics. In perfect lattices at zero temperature, shocks directed along one of the principal axes propagate through the crystal causing no permanent disruption. Vacancies, interstitials, and to a lesser degree, massive defects are all effective at converting directed shock motion into thermalized two-dimensional motion. Measures of lattice disruption quantitatively describe the effects of the different defects. The square lattice is unstable at nonzero temperatures, as shown by its tendency upon impact to reorganize into the lower-energy hexagonal state. This transition also occurs in the disordered region associated with the shock-defect interaction. The hexagonal lattice can be made arbitrarily stable even for shock-vacancy interactions through appropriate choice of potential parameters. In reactive crystals, these defect sites may be responsible for the onset of detonation. All calculations are performed using a program optimized for the massively parallel Connection Machine.
