Abstract

Using Monte Carlo simulations with the Metropolis algorithm, the magnetic and thermodynamic behaviours of a spin-1/2, trilayered ferrimagnetic system on triangular monolayers with quenched nonmagnetic impurities are studied. Two different theoretical atoms, A and B, make up the ABA and AAB types of distinct configurations. Like atoms (A-A and B-B) interact ferromagnetically, while unlike atoms (A-B) interact antiferromagnetically. Only the A-layers are randomly site-diluted with dilution percentages ranging from 5% to 45%. Such diluted magnetic thin systems exhibit magnetic compensation which depends sensitively on the concentration of impurities. The phase diagram in the Hamiltonian parameter space related to the occurrence of magnetic compensation phenomenon and the effect of site dilution is discussed in detail. Special attention is given to the mathematical dependencies of compensation temperature on the concentration of nonmagnetic impurities. Depending upon the concentration of nonmagnetic impurities, the compensation and critical points shift with the equilibrium magnetic behaviours changing between distinct ferrimagnetic behaviours. For each combination of the coupling strengths, with values of the impurity concentration above a threshold, compensation appears where previously was absent. Suggested mathematical formulae show how threshold impurity concentration relies on Hamiltonian parameters.
