Abstract

We investigate the magnetic phase transition in a thin film with an antidote lattice by computer simulation. A lattice of non-magnetic antidotes is present in a thin film of several atomic layers. The antidotes form a rectangular lattice. We are looking at two forms of antidotes. The Ising model and Wolf’ cluster algorithm simulate the system’s magnetic behavior. Antidotes act on additional surfaces of the system. This results in a change in the Curie temperature of the system. Dependence of phase transition temperature on holes size and shape is obtained. The phase transition temperature depends on the size of the hole by logarithmic law. The Curie temperature for triangular holes is lower than for square holes. We investigated the magnetization of a thin film with an antidote lattice and constructed a hysteresis loop. The hysteresis loop expands as the hole size decreases. Coercive force depends on the size and shape of the holes. Coercive force varies by nonlinear law.
