Monte Carlo simulations have been used to study magnetic ordering in coupled anisotropic ferro/antiferromagnetic (FM/AFM) films of classical Heisenberg spins. We consider films with flat interfaces that are fully uncompensated as well as rough interfaces that are compensated on average. For both types of interfaces above the ``Neel temperature we observed order in the AFM with the AFM spins aligning collinearly with the FM moments. In the case of rough interfaces there is a transition from collinear to perpendicular alignment of the FM and AFM spins at a lower temperature.

Inducing magnetic orders in a topological insulator (TI) to break its time reversal symmetry has been predicted to reveal many exotic topological quantum phenomena. The manipulation of magnetic orders in a TI layer can play a key role in harnessing t hese quantum phenomena towards technological applications. Here we fabricated a thin magnetic TI film on an antiferromagnetic (AFM) insulator Cr2O3 layer and found that the magnetic moments of the magnetic TI layer and the surface spins of the Cr2O3 layers favor interfacial AFM coupling. Field cooling studies show a crossover from negative to positive exchange bias clarifying the competition between the interfacial AFM coupling energy and the Zeeman energy in the AFM insulator layer. The interfacial exchange coupling also enhances the Curie temperature of the magnetic TI layer. The unique interfacial AFM alignment in magnetic TI on AFM insulator heterostructures opens a new route toward manipulating the interplay between topological states and magnetic orders in spin-engineered heterostructures, facilitating the exploration of proof-of-concept TI-based spintronic and electronic devices with multi-functionality and low power consumption.

In this work, IrMn$_{3}$/insulating-Y$_{3}$Fe$_{5}$O$_{12}$ exchange-biased bilayers are studied. The behavior of the net magnetic moment $Delta m_{AFM}$ in the antiferromagnet is directly probed by anomalous and planar Hall effects, and anisotropic magnetoresistance. The $Delta m_{AFM}$ is proved to come from the interfacial uncompensated magnetic moment. We demonstrate that the exchange bias and rotational hysteresis are induced by the irreversible switching of the $Delta m_{AFM}$. In the training effect, the $Delta m_{AFM}$ changes continuously. This work highlights the fundamental role of the $Delta m_{AFM}$ in the exchange bias and facilitates the manipulation of antiferromagnetic spintronic devices.

Monte Carlo simulations have been used to study phase transitions on coupled anisotropic ferro/antiferromagnetic (FM/AFM) films of classical Heisenberg spins. We consider films of different thicknesses, with fully compensated exchange across the FM/A FM interface. We find indications of a phase transition on each film, occuring at different temperatures. It appears that both transition temperatures depend on the film thickness.
Antiferromagnetically coupled Ising s =3 spins on a triangular lattice are very close to ordering at zero temperature. The low temperature behaviour of a triangular lattice with Ising spins s =3 has been simulated by using both Glauber and Kawasaki d ynamics. The formation of misfit clusters, which are essential for destabilizing the ordered state, are inhibited by the use of Kawasaki dynamics. The sublattice susceptibilities and the sublattice order parameter are found to depend qualitatively on the dynamics used so that robust ordering occurs when Kawasaki dynamics are employed. The thermal behaviour that is found for the spin model with Kawasaki dynamics gives insight into the observed ordering of side chains seen in a tetraphilic liquid crystal.
The critical behavior of self-assembled rigid rods on a square lattice was recently reinvestigated by Almarza et al. [Phys. Rev. E 82, 061117 (2010)]. Based on the Binder cumulants and the value of the critical exponent of the correlation length, the authors found that the isotropic-nematic phase transition occurring in the system is in the two-dimensional Ising universality class. This conclusion contrasts with that of a previous study [Lopez et al., Phys. Rev. E 80, 040105 (R) (2009)] which indicates that the transition at intermediate density belongs to the q = 1 Potts universality class. Almarza et al. attributed the discrepancy to the use of the density as the control parameter by Lopez et al. The present work shows that this suggestion is not sufficient, and that the discrepancy arises solely from the use of different statistical ensembles. Finally, the necessity of making corrections to the scaling functions in the canonical ensemble is discussed.
