摘要
The effect of interactions on the blocking temperature of granular magnetic films is modeled using a variable time step Monte Carlo method. Both magnetostatic and exchange interactions are considered in the calculation of field cooled magnetization curves. Cubic grains with 28 Angstrom side lengths are randomly packed within a larger cubic volume. Each grain has a random crystalline easy axis. For the parameters simulated, magnetostatic interactions do not have an effect on the blocking temperature, and exchange interactions cause average blocking temperatures to increase.
