Abstract
Using Monte Carlo simulation, with free boundary conditions along the L direction the impact of film thickness on the magnetic characteristics of inverse spinel \(\left( {Fe_{{}}^{3 + } } \right)\left[ {Fe^{3 + } Fe^{2 + } } \right]O_{4}^{2 - }\) has been investigated. Up to Lā=ā13, the critical temperature has been determined for various film thicknesses. The magnetic hysteresis is obtained for various temperatures and film thicknesses. With an increase in film thickness and a reduction in temperature, the magnetic coercive field and remanent magnetization are both affected.
