Random Field Distributed Heisenberg Model on a Thin Film Geometry (1310.2819v1)

Abstract: The effects of the bimodal random field distribution on the thermal and magnetic properties of of the Heisenberg thin film have been investigated by making use of a two spin cluster with the decoupling approximation. Particular attention has been devoted to the obtaining of phase diagrams and magnetization behaviors. The physical behaviors of special as well as tricritical points are discussed for a wide range of selected Hamiltonian parameters. For example, it is found that when the strength of magnetic field increases, the locations of special point in related plane decrease. Moreover, tricritical behavior has been obtained for the higher values of the magnetic field, and influences of the varying Hamiltonian parameters on its behavior have been elucidated in detail in order to have a better understanding of mechanism underlying of the considered system.
