Critical and compensation phenomena in a mixed-spin ternary alloy: a Monte Carlo study

Abstract

By means of standard and histogram Monte Carlo simulations, we investigate the critical and compensation behaviour of a ternary mixed spin alloy of the type $A{B}_p{C}_{1-p}$ on a cubic lattice. We focus on the case with the parameters corresponding to the Prussian blue analog $({\mathrm{Ni}}_p^{\mathrm{II}}{\mathrm{Mn}}_{1-p}^{\mathrm{II}}{)}_{1.5}[{\mathrm{C}{\mathrm{r}}^{\mathrm{III}}(\mathrm{CN})}_6]\cdot n{\mathrm{H}}_2\mathrm{O}$ and confront our findings with those obtained by some approximative approaches and the experiments.
