Hysteresis behaviors of a spin-1 anisotropic Heisenberg model

Abstract: The hysteresis behaviors of anisotropic S-1 Heisenberg model have been studied within the effective field theory with two spin cluster. After giving the phase diagrams, the effect of the crystal field and anisotropy in the exchange interaction on the hysteresis loops have been determined. One important finding is double hysteresis loop behavior of the system in the low temperature and negative crystal field region, which disappears with the decreasing anisotropy in the exchange interaction. This behavior was carefully investigated and physical explanation has also been given.
