Monte Carlo Simulations of the site-diluted 3d XY model with superexchange interaction: application to Fe[SeCN(CH)]Cl -- Zn[SCN(CH)] diluted magnets

arXiv:1509.08121

Abstract

A simple site-diluted classical XY model is proposed to study the magnetic properties of the ferromagnetic polycrystalline Fe[SeCN(CH)]Cl diluted with diamagnetic Zn[SCN(CH)]. An extra superexchange interaction is assumed between next-nearest-neighbors on a simple cubic lattice, which are induced by a diluted ion. The critical properties are obtained by Monte Carlo simulations using a hybrid algorithm, single histograms procedures and finite-size scaling techniques. Quite good fits to the experimental results of the ordering temperature are obtained, namely its much less rapidly decreasing with dilution than predicted by the standard diluted 3 XY model, and the change in curvature around of the magnetic Fe[SeCN(CH)]Cl compound.
