Force between magnetic nanoplates with dipolar interactions

This study considers the dependence of the force caused by the dipolar interaction between small low-dimensional magnets such as single-molecule magnets and two-dimensional magnets on the distance between them within the framework of the dipolar Ising model with nearest-neighbor exchange interactions and long-range dipolar interactions. In particular, we focus on the rapid change in the force between ferromagnetic and antiferromagnetic plates, which arise from the transition of the spin states and explain that this behavior originates from the spin frustrations between magnetic plates. Furthermore, the size and temperature dependence of the interaction energy are investigated using a Monte Carlo simulation.
