The maximum thermal remagnetization (TR) after de-demagnetization was studi
ed at sintered RE/T hard magnets and at barium ferrite. We found very large
TR-effects for SmCo5, large effects for hard ferrites, medium for NdFeB an
d a very low effect for Sm2Co17 magnets. The experimental results are inter
preted on the basis of a theory taking into account the local fluctuations
of the internal magnetic field as well as the internal demagnetization effe
cts. The relevant model parameters were estimated for SmCo5 and barium ferr
ite.
