Remarkable features of magnetic properties in transverse Ising nanoislands

The phase diagram and magnetizations in two transverse Ising nanoislands with the same structures which are consisted of the two layers are examined by using the effective-field theory with correlations. The effects of interlayer coupling and two transverse fields at the center and the perimeter atoms on them are examined. We find remarkable features in them which come from the frustration induced by the interlayer coupling and two transverse fields. - Highlights: • Phase diagrams and magnetizations are examined for two transverse Ising nanoislands. • By the use of the EFT, the effects of interlayer coupling and two transverse field on them are examined. • Many characteristic phenomena are obtained for the two systems. • A new type of frustration is proposed
