M. Lobue et al., MAGNETIC AFTEREFFECT IN SPRING MAGNETS AND THE PREISACH MODEL OF HYSTERESIS, IEEE transactions on magnetics, 33(5), 1997, pp. 3862-3864
Magnetic viscosity measurements an NdFeB spring-magnets are interprete
d by means of a thermodynamic generalization of the Preisach hysteresi
s model. The model correctly predicts the observed decay of magnetizat
ion and clarifies the connection between anomalous, non-monotone after
-effect aad applied field history, Comparison between theory and exper
iments permits one to estimate the after-effect activation volume, d(3
) approximate to (12 nm)(3), anti the attempt frequency 1/tau v simila
r to 10(10) s(-1).
