MAGNETIC PROPERTIES OF TITANIUM CARBIDE (TIC) DIATOMIC MOLECULE UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF MAGNETIC AND AHARONOV–BOHM FLUX FIELDS AT FINITE TEMPERATURE

In this study, the influence of magnetic and Aharonov–Bohm (AB) flux fields on the magnetic properties of the Titanium Carbide (TiC) diatomic molecule at finite temperature is investigated. Using the generalized cosine Yukawa potential within the framework of the Nikiforov–Uvarov Functional Analysis (NUFA) method, the energy eigenvalue and the corresponding energy eigenfunction as well as the partition functions were obtained. Based on these, temperature-dependent magnetization, magnetic susceptibility, and persistent current were evaluated. The results show that magnetization increases with both magnetic field strength and AB flux, but decreases with temperature due to enhanced thermal agitation that disrupts magnetic dipole alignment. Similarly, magnetic susceptibility and persistent current diminish with temperature but exhibit higher magnitudes at stronger field intensities. These behaviors are consistent with Curie-like paramagnetism and agree with previous findings on related diatomic systems.
