Yz. Shao et Zh. He, Transition from superparamagnetism to ferromagnetic single-domain in a Heisenberg model for nano-cluster magnetic system, CHIN PHYS L, 17(5), 2000, pp. 367-369
By considering a magnetic system of an ensemble of nanometer clusters witho
ut any external magnetic field, the Monte Carlo simulation of the Heisenber
g model is used to investigate the transition from a superparamagnetism to
a ferromagnetic single-domain state, which is caused by the growth of the c
lusters. We studied the variation of the dynamic growth exponent P and the
transition critical size of the cluster N-c against the reduced temperature
t and the uniaxial anisotropy constant A. We found that the growth exponen
t maximized at a certain temperature, other than being taken as a universal
constant as some researchers suggested previously.
