摘要：

A Monte Carlo simulation has been used to study the magnetic properties and the critical behaviors of a single spherical nanoparticle, consisting of a ferromagnetic core of sigma = +/- 1/2 spins surrounded by a ferromagnetic shell of S = +/- 1, 0 or S = +/- 1/2, +/- 3/2 spins with antiferromagnetic interface coupling, located on a simple cubic lattice. A number of characteristic phenomena has been found. In particular, the effects of the shell coupling and the interface coupling on both the critical and compensation temperatures are investigated. We have found that, for appropriate values of the system parameters, two compensation temperatures may occur in the present system. (C) 2010 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
