Monte Carlo simulation of spin-wave excitation for the magnetic films with structure and interaction fluctuations

摘要

Monte Carlo simulation studies are performed to examine influence of structure and interaction fluctuations on magnetic properties of a ferromagnetic system modelled with a Heisenberg Hamiltonian, It is found that the spontaneous magnetization at low temperature for the multilayered films decreases with temperature in a Bloch law of spin-wave excitations. Both Bloch coefficient B and exponent b vary evidently because of a strong surface and size effect in the finite magnetic films with free boundaries. For the disordered bulk FCC magnet with periodic boundary, the Bloch T-3/2 law is followed at low temperature and B is greatly influenced by the structure and interaction fluctuations. At the same time, Bloch coefficient B of the amorphous magnet with the coordination and interaction fluctuations has been derived. The simulated results are in good agreement with the theoretical predictions of spin-wave excitation, and explain the experimental facts well. (c) 2005 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
