One Domain Wall Hysteresis Model for Spherical Grain

Article Preview

Abstract:

The high uniaxial magnetic anisotropy makes phases like Nd2Fe14B, Sm2Co17, SmCo5 or BaFe12O19 are very suitable as hard permanent magnetic materials. In the case of ferromagnetic materials, the global magnetostatic energy changes, according to the domain wall configuration. The simplest case to be studied is that of spherical grain with only one domain wall, in phases with uniaxial symmetry. The magnetostic energy in this system is calculated by means of Legendre polynomials. Studying the maximums and minimums of energy in this system, a simple hysteresis model can be developed. The model provides insight about the dependence of the coercive force on the grain size.
