In our work the temperature dependencies of magnetization, entropy changes, and the Curie temperature (TC) of La1-xCaxMnO3 (x = 0.33 and 0.5) were investigated using Monte Carlo method and Heisenberg model. In our simulation, magnetic Mn3+ and Mn4+ ions are described by classical Heisenberg spins, while oxygen, lanthanum and calcium ions are considered as non-magnetic. The Mn magnetic ions are distributed on a simple cubic lattice according to the perovskite structure of the manganite. The theoretical Curie temperatures and magnetocaloric values are in a good agreement well with experimental data.

In this work, we report on the theoretical calculations of the temperature dependence of magnetization in Ni2MnGa alloy by Monte Carlo simulation. The calculations have been carried out for the single crystal and polycrystalline structures with 16, 32 and 64 magnetic domains. The theoretically calculated results are in good agreement with the experimental data.

Although the use of structural equation modeling has increased during the last decades, the typical procedure to investigate mean differences across groups is still to create an observed composite score from several indicators and to compare the composite’s mean across the groups. Whereas the structural equation modeling literature has emphasized that a comparison of latent means presupposes equal factor loadings and indicator intercepts for most of the indicators (i.e., partial invariance), it is still unknown if partial invariance is sufficient when relying on observed composites. This Monte-Carlo study investigated whether one or two unequal factor loadings and indicator intercepts in a composite can lead to wrong conclusions regarding latent mean differences. Results show that unequal indicator intercepts substantially affect the composite mean difference and the probability of a significant composite difference. In contrast, unequal factor loadings demonstrate only small effects. It is concluded that analyses of composite differences are only warranted in conditions of full measurement invariance, and the author recommends the analyses of latent mean differences with structural equation modeling instead.
