Magnetic and magnetocaloric characteristics of the mixed Graphullerene-like structure: A theoretical study

This paper presents an investigation of the magnetic and magnetocaloric properties of a mixed Graphullerene-like nanostructure. The Blume-Capel model is employed, and Monte Carlo computations were performed using the Metropolis algorithm. The study examines various spin configurations within different parameter planes and reveals stable configurations. Furthermore, the paper analyzes magnetizations, susceptibilities, specific heat, and Binder cumulant as a function of the temperature to determine the transition temperature and characterize magnetic phase transitions in the system. The suitability of the investigated structure for magnetic refrigeration was also assessed by examining the magnetic entropy change and relative cooling power at different external magnetic field strengths. The results show a direct correlation between the external magnetic field and maximum entropy changes, indicating a significant magnetocaloric effect.
