Abstract
In this paper, the effects of the next-nearest neighbors exchange couplings on the magnetic and thermal properties of the ferrimagnetic mixed-spin (2, 5/2) Ising model on a 3D honeycomb lattice have been investigated by the use of Monte Carlo simulation. In particular, the influences of exchange couplings (Ja, Jb, Jan) and the single-ion anisotropy(Da) on the phase diagrams, the total magnetization, the sublattice magnetization, the total susceptibility, the internal energy and the specific heat have been discussed in detail. The results clearly show that the system can express the critical and compensation behavior within the next-nearest neighbors exchange coupling. Great deals of the M curves such as N-, Q-, P- and L-types have been discovered, owing to the competition between the exchange coupling and the temperature. Compared with other theoretical and experimental works, our results have an excellent consistency with theirs.
