Effect of a Gaussian random external magnetic field with spatio temporal variation on compensation in Ising spin-1/2 trilayered square ferrimagnets

Abstract

In this work, an extensive Metropolis Monte Carlo simulation is performed to investigate the steady-state magnetic and thermodynamic behaviour of a trilayered spin-1/2 Ising ferrimagnet with square monolayers, driven by external Gaussian random magnetic field with certain spatio-temporal variations. Such thin ferrimagnetic systems exhibit compensation phenomenon and thus are potentially interesting candidates for several technological applications. Here, two distinct theoretical atoms, A and B, make up the ABA and AAB types of configurations in which the like atoms (A-A and B-B) ferromagnetically interact and the unlike atoms (A-B) interact antiferromagnetically. Depending upon the strength of the spatio-temporally varying Gaussian random field, the compensation and critical points shift and steady-state magnetic behaviours change between the different distinct types of ferrimagnetic behaviours. The compensation phenomenon even vanishes after crossing a finite threshold of the standard deviation of the magnetic field for particular choices of the other controlling parameters. Consequently, in the Hamiltonian parameter space of both configurations, islands of ferrimagnetic phase without compensation appear within the phase area with compensation of field-free case. The areas of such islands grow with an increasing standard deviation of the external field, $\sigma$, obeying the scaling relation: $f(\sigma ,A(\sigma ))={\sigma }^{-b}A(\sigma )$ with $b_{ABA}=1.913\pm 0.137$ and $b_{AAB}=1.625\pm 0.066$ . These values of exponents match within the statistical interval with those obtained with the uniform random magnetic field.
