Abstract

The magnetic properties of antiferromagnetic CoO compound have been studied using Monte Carlo simulations within the Ising model framework. The thermal magnetizations and magnetic susceptibilities are computed for a fixed size. In addition, the Néel temperature is deduced. The magnetization versus the reduced exchange interactions and crystal field are studied for a fixed system size, N = 10 nm particles. The magnetic hysteresis cycle versus temperature is also established.
