Abstract

We have employed simulations by Monte Carlo to investigate the magnetic properties and magnetocaloric effect of graphene alternate layers with mixed spins S = 3/2 and σ = 2. The ground state phase diagrams have been obtained. In addition, the impact of the number of layers, the reduced exchange couplings (S–S), and (S–σ), and the crystal field on total magnetizations, magnetic susceptibilities, and magnetic hysteresis cycles have been studied. The compensation and critical temperature were found. The specific heat, the specific heat change, magnetic entropy change and relative cooling power are determined. This system is useful in a variety of spintronic device applications.
