A. Koizumi et al., SWEEP-RATE EFFECT ON MAGNETIC HYSTERESIS IN AMORPHOUS TB60FE20AL20, Journal of magnetism and magnetic materials, 177, 1998, pp. 211-212
Hysteresis loops of amorphous Tb60Fe20Al20 are measured at several swe
ep rates of a magnetic field at 4.2 K. At a fast sweep rate of 0.25 T/
s, magnetization abruptly jumps at 2.9 T, while the jump disappears at
a slow sweep rate of 0.004 T/s. The magnetization jump is considered
to reflect the dissipation mechanism of spin-reversal energy in adiaba
tic system. (C) 1998 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
