Random crystal field effect on the magnetic and hysteresis behaviors of a spin-1 cylindrical nanowire

In this work, the magnetic behavior of the cylindrical nanowire, consisting of a ferromagnetic core of spin-1 atoms surrounded by a ferromagnetic shell of spin-1 atoms is studied in the presence of a random crystal field interaction. Based on Metropolis algorithm, the Monte Carlo simulation has been used to investigate the effects of the concentration of the random crystal field p, the crystal field D and the shell exchange interaction Js on the phase diagrams and the hysteresis behavior of the system. Some characteristic behaviors have been found, such as the first and second-order phase transitions joined by tricritical point for appropriate values of the system parameters, triple and isolated critical points can be also found. Depending on the Hamiltonian parameters, single, double and para hysteresis regions are explicitly determined. •Phase diagrams of a ferromagnetic nanowire are examined by the Monte Carlo simulation.•Different types of the phase diagrams are obtained.•The effect of the random crystal field on the hysteresis loops is studied.•Single, double and para hysteresis regions are explicitly determined.
