Abstract

In present work we propose a theoretical model for investigation of the exchange bias effect in Ni50Mn37.5Sb12.5 alloy. In the model, we use a three-dimensional cubic lattice with periodic boundary conditions. Also we take into account the magnetic interactions between atoms in 1st, 2nd and 3rd coordination spheres and the ferromagnetic and antiferromagnetic anisotropy terms. It is shown that the obtained theoretical temperature dependence of the exchange bias field for Ni50Mn37.5Sb12.5 alloy is close to the experimental data.
