| Sumario: | We study the structural and dynamical properties of a two-dimensional (2D) classical bi-layer crystal of charged magnetic dipolar particles in a setup where the dipoles are oriented perpendicular to the layers and equal density of charged dipolar particles in each layer. The energy of the system is due to the charge - charge interaction (Coulomb interaction) and the dipole - dipole interaction. Due to the long-range nature of the interactions, we use the Ewald summation method to obtain an expression for the energy involving rapidly convergent sums. By comparing the energies of a number of possible crystal geometries, we determine the phase diagram of the system as a function of the parameter η (which is related to the separation between the layers of charged magnetic dipoles and the particle density) and the relative intensity of the magnetic and electrical interactions. By changing the relative intensity of the dipole - dipole interaction with respect to electrical one, we are able to find six diferent stable crystalline structures as a function of η. An interesting feature of the present model system is the possibility to tune between the matched and staggered arrangements by varying the magnetic interaction between the dipoles, e.g. through an external magnetic field. The phase boundaries of the crystalline structures consist of both continuous and discontinuous transitions. In order to investigate the stability of the minimum energy arrangements we also calculate the phonon spectra of the system within the harmonic approximation. In this case, we resort again on the Ewald technique to obtain the rapidly convergent sums. The analysis of the phonon spectra reveals interesting features which are useful in the study of melting. |
