Abstract

Spin states of two-dimensional Wigner clusters are considered at low temperatures, when all electrons are in ground coordinate states. The spin subsystem behavior is determined by antiferromagnetic exchange integrals. The spin states in such a system in the presence of a magnetic field are described in terms of the Ising model. The spin structure, correlation function, and magnetic susceptibility of the cluster are found by computer simulations. It is shown that the spin susceptibility experiences oscillations with respect to the magnetic field, owing to the magnetoinduced spin subsystem rearrangements.
