The system is formed with NL layers having spins that can take the values σ= ± 1/2 and S =±1,0. The blocking temperature is deduced, for each spin configuration, depending on the crystal field A. The effect of the exchange interaction coupling Jp between the spin configurations σ and S is studied for different values of temperature at fixed crystal field. The established ground-state phase diagram, in the plane （Jp, △）, shows that the only stable configurations are： （1/2,0）, （1/2, ＋1）, and （1/2,- 1）. The thermal magnetization and susceptibility are investigated for the two spin configurations, in the absence as well as in the presence of a crystal field. Finally, we establish the hysteresis cycle for different temperature values, showing that there is almost no remaining magnetization in the absence of the external magnetic field, and that the studied system exhibits a super-paramagnetic behavior.展开更多

It is found that at low density the satisfaction rate depends on the maximal velocity. However, the behavior of the satisfaction rate as a function of the coefficient of variance is independent of the maximal velocity. This is in good agreement with empirical results obtained by Lipshtat [Phys. Rev. E 79 066110 （2009）]. Furthermore, our numerical result demonstrates that at low density the satisfaction rate takes higher values, whereas the coefficient of variance is close to zero. The coefficient of variance increases with increasing density, while the satisfaction rate decreases to zero. Moreover, we have also shown that, at low density the coefficient variance depends strongly on the probability of overtaking.展开更多
Electronic structure and magnetic properties of wurtzite ZnO semiconductor doped with rare earth （RE=La, Ce, Pr, Pm, Nd, Sm, Eu, Gd, Tb, Dy, Ho, Er, Tm and Yb） atoms were studied using spin-polarized density functio...Electronic structure and magnetic properties of wurtzite ZnO semiconductor doped with rare earth （RE=La, Ce, Pr, Pm, Nd, Sm, Eu, Gd, Tb, Dy, Ho, Er, Tm and Yb） atoms were studied using spin-polarized density functional theory based on the full-potential linear augmented plane wave （FP-LAPW） method as implemented in the Wien2k code. In this approach the generalized gradient approximation （GGA） was used for the exchange-correlation （XC） potential. Our results showed that the substitution of RE ions in ZnO induced spins polarized localized states in the band gap. Moreover, the studied DMSs compounds retained half metallicity at dopant concentration x=0.625%for most of the studied elements, with 100%spin polarization at the Fermi level （EF）. The total magnetic moments of these compounds existed due to RE 4f states present at EF, while small induced magnetic moments existed on other non-magnetic atoms as well. Finally, the energy difference between far and near configurations was investigated. It was found that the room temperature ferromagnetism was possible for RE-doped ZnO at near configuration. Since the RE-RE separation was long enough （far configuration） for magnetic coupling, the system became paramagnetic or antiferromagnetic ground state.展开更多
