Özet

Dynamic phase transition properties of a ferromagnetic thin film system under the influence of both bias and time-dependent magnetic fields have been elucidated by means of kinetic Monte Carlo simulation with local spin update Metropolis algorithm. The obtained results after a detailed analysis suggest that the bias field is the conjugate field to dynamic order parameter, and it also appears to define a phase line between two antiparallel dynamic ordered states depending on the considered system parameters. Moreover, the data presented in this study well qualitatively reproduce the recently published experimental findings where time-dependent magnetic behavior of a uniaxial cobalt films is studied in the neighborhood of dynamic phase transition point.
