Fig. 3. Size scaling of the simulated crossover temperature for the different 2D lattices.

Fig. 3

a Variation of the crossover temperature Tx with system size for different symmetries (Hexagonal, Square, Honeycomb) on a log-scale. The curves are a fit using Tx=A/log(L/B), where A and B are fitting constants and L is the system size. A and B are 327.28 K and 0.000542 nm, 484.96 K and 0.00166 nm and 1018.50 K and 5.7 × 10−5 nm for honeycomb, square and hexagonal lattices, respectively. b Extrapolation of the exponential fits in a to larger sizes on all studied symmetries. The crossover temperature remains finite (>4 K) for systems as large as ~ 1025 m indicating no dependence of the magnetic anisotropy for stabilisation of magnetic ordering. Insets provide a comparison with physical distances observed in different systems. Figures in b are adapted with permission under a Creative Commons CC BY license from Wiki Commons.
