Title: Equilibrium, metastability, and hysteresis in a model spin-crossover material with nearest-neighbor antiferromagnetic-like and long-range ferromagnetic-like interactions

Abstract

Phase diagrams and hysteresis loops were obtained by Monte Carlo simulations and a mean- field method for a simplified model of a spin-crossovermaterialwith a two-step transition between the high-spin and low-spin states. This model is a mapping onto a square-lattice S = 1/2 Ising model with antiferromagnetic nearest-neighbor and ferromagnetic Husimi-Temperley ( equivalent-neighbor) long-range interactions. Phase diagrams obtained by the two methods for weak and strong long-range interactions are found to be similar. However, for intermediate-strength long-range interactions, the Monte Carlo simulations show that tricritical points decompose into pairs of critical end points and mean-field critical points surrounded by horn-shaped regions of metastability. Hysteresis loops along paths traversing the horn regions are strongly reminiscent of thermal two-step transition loops with hysteresis, recently observed experimentally in several spin-crossover materials. As a result, we believe analogous phenomena should be observable in experiments and simulations for many systems that exhibit competition between local antiferromagnetic-like interactions and long-range ferromagnetic-like interactions caused by elastic distortions.
