This article presents a theoretical prediction of stochastic resonance in spin-crossover materials. The analysis of stochastic resonance phenomenon in a spin-crossover system is performed in the framework of the phenomenological kinetic model with light-induced transition described by dynamical potential in terms of the Lyapunov functions. By using numerical simulation of stochastic trajectories with white- and colored-noise action, the evaluation of stochastic resonance is carried out by signal-to-noise ratio of the system output. The corresponding signal-to-noise ratio features a two-peak behavior which is related to the asymmetric shape of the dynamic potential. For the case of the Ornstein-Uhlenbeck process, the variations of resonance condition with respect to different autocorrelation times are additionally studied.
