Insight into compensation behaviors and hysteresis characteristics of an Ising-type borophene monolayer

Abstract

Abstract Boron is another novel two-dimensional material after graphene with splendid chemical and physical properties and potential applications in magnetism, electronics, energy materials and other fields. Studying the magnetic properties of borophene is important to improve the relevant theories and experiments. In this paper, we extend a single spin-3/2 Ising model to analyze the magnetic characteristics of the borophene monolayer by using Monte Carlo simulation. The influence of crystal field, exchange coupling and external magnetic field on the magnetization, magnetic susceptibility and internal energy are studied separately and the phase diagrams are presented. The calculation indicates that the system presents the compensation temperature and triple-loop hysteresis behaviors.
