Monte Carlo exploration of hysteresis loops in Lieb and Dice lattice geometries

Abstract

This study explores the hysteresis behavior of magnetic nanostructures on Lieb and Dice lattices using Monte Carlo simulations. The effects of exchange couplings, temperature, and crystal field on coercive and saturation fields were analyzed. The results highlight the differences in magnetic response between the two lattices, with the Dice lattice showing stronger resistance to spin reorientation. The findings provide insights for the design of multi-state memory devices and applications in spintronics and quantum material engineering.
