Magnetic nanoparticle-based systems such as nanotube or nanowire have been attracting the
attention not only because of their fundamental importance, but also due to many technological
applications, as for instance, magnetic recording media, magnetic refrigeration, magnetic fluids,
spin electronics, optics, sensors, thermoelectronics devices, diagnosis and treatment of cancer,
among others [1]. Much effort has been devoted to achieving a better understanding of the behavior
of magnetic nanoparticles experimentally [2], analytically [3], and in computer simulations [4].
Because of potential applications to nano- and bio-technology, the study of magnetic nanotubes
have been investigated both theoretically by using the well-known methods in equilibrium statistical
physics, such as the micromagnetic simulation, continuum theory of ferromagnetism, Monte Carlo
(MC) simulations, the effective–field theory (EFT), the many-body Green’s function method of
quantum statistical theory, and experimentally, such as FePt and Fe3O4 nanotubes. Although the
increasing interest on the nanosystems and the equilibrium phase transition of these systems has
been notably studied, the nonequilibrium or dynamic properties of the nanosystems have not been
explored intensively [5].

In this work, we investigate the dynamic hysteresis behavior and dynamic phase diagrams in
the kinetic cylindrical Ising nanotube under a time-dependent oscillating external magnetic field for
both ferromagnetic and antiferromagnetic interactions by employing the EFT with correlations and
the Glauber-type stochastic dynamics. Our focus, however, is to how the dynamic magnetic
hysteresis behavior, dynamic phase transitions (DPTs) as well as dynamic phase diagrams depends
upon the system parameters (external magnetic field, surface coupling, etc.). More precisely, we
calculate the temperature dependence of the dynamic magnetizations, hysteresis loop areas and
correlations in order to characterize the nature (first- or second-order) of the dynamic transitions as
well as to obtain the DPT points. We also obtain the dynamic hysteresis behaviors and present the
dynamic phase diagrams in three different planes. The phase diagrams exhibit dynamic tricritical,
isolated critical, multicritical and triple points. According to values of Hamiltonian parameters,
besides the paramagnetic (P), ferromagnetic (F), ferrimagnetic (I) fundamental phases, two mixed
phase regions, i.e., F+P, I+P, exist in the system. The results are in qualitative agreement with some
experimental and theoretical results.
