Thermodynamic features of the 1D dilute Ising model in the external magnetic field

We consider the effects of the magnetic field on the frustrated phase states of the dilute Ising chain, especially, the behavior of the magnetic entropy change and the isentropic dependence of the temperature on the magnetic field, which are the key parameters of the magnetocaloric effect. The found temperature dependences of entropy demonstrate the nonequivalence of frustrated phases in the antiferromagnetic and ferromagnetic cases. In the antiferromagnetic case, the nonzero magnetic field at certain parameters causes a charge ordering for nonmagnetic impurities at a half-filling, while in the ferromagnetic case, the magnetic field reduces the frustration of the ground state only partially. It is also shown, that impurities radically change the magnetic Grüneisen parameter in comparison with the case of a pure Ising chain. •Impurities radically change the magnetic Grüneisen parameter.•Analysis shows existence of phases with nonzero residual entropy.•Maximum frustrations are achieved in antiferromagnetic diluted chain.
