Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to study the magnetic properties of a fullerene-like structure geometry X 20, X 60, and X 70 where the symbol X can be assigned to any magnetic atom. Such structures are formed by atoms with spin σ = 1/2. Using the Monte Carlo computation, the thermal behavior of the magnetizations and susceptibilities of such systems in the ferromagnetic case are studied. We find that the critical temperature increases non-linearly when increasing the number of atoms in the studied system. Otherwise, the coercive field increases linearly when the number of atoms in the structure increases.
