On the deviation from a Curie–Weiss behavior of the ZnFe2O4 susceptibility: A combined ab-initio and Monte-Carlo approach

We present a numerical study of the magnetic properties of ZnFe2O4 using Monte-Carlo simulations performed considering a Heisenberg model with antiferromagnetic couplings determined by Density Functional Theory. Our calculations predict that the magnetic susceptibility has a cusp-like peak centered...
