Abstract
This study investigates the magnetic hysteresis properties of the C60 and (C60)2 fullerene nanostructures according to the Blume–Emery–Griffiths model and Monte Carlo simulations. It seeks to know the influence of parameters such as exchange couplings, crystal field, and temperature on the magnetism of such materials. It was found that C60 exhibited greater coercive and saturation fields than (C60)2 due to intra-cluster couplings and greater anisotropy. These results provide better understanding of the role of thermal fluctuations and structural stresses in magnetization reversal, which is crucial for magnetic nanomaterials development. These can be employed in spintronic devices, magnetic sensors, memory devices, nanoelectronics, and quantum computing.
