Abstract
•Determination of the Néel temperature of GdSb by MC simulations.•Magnetic hysteresis cycle of GdSb.•Determination of saturation magnetization and field coercive in GdSb.
The magnetic properties of antiferromagnetic GdSb layers have been studied using Monte Carlo simulations within the Ising model framework. The considered Hamiltonian includes first nearest-neighbor, an external magnetic field and a crystal field. The thermal magnetizations and magnetic susceptibilities are computed for a fixed size. In addition, the Néel temperature is deduced. The magnetization versus the exchange interactions and crystal field are studied for a fixed system size, N=5, 7 and 9 sites. The magnetic hysteresis cycle versus temperature is also established.
