Critical and compensation phenomena in a mixed-spin ternary alloy: A Monte Carlo study

By means of standard and histogram Monte Carlo simulations, we investigate the critical and compensation behaviour of a ternary mixed spin alloy of the type ABpC1−p on a cubic lattice. We focus on the case with the parameters corresponding to the Prussian blue analog (NipIIMn1−pII)1.5[CrIII(CN)6]·nH2O and confront our findings with those obtained by some approximative approaches and the experiments.
