Energetic model of ferromagnetic hysteresis: Isotropic magnetization
Abstract
The model is based on considerations of energy balance and statistical domain behavior. The parameters are related to macroscopic hysteresis features such as coercivity, initial susceptibility, saturation, and remanence and identification strategies are presented for static and dynamic magnetization processes. Furthermore, the model parameters are related to spontaneous magnetization, magnetocrystalline anisotropy, magnetostriction, and microstructure geometry which assist in the interpretation of the hysteresis dependence on stress, temperature, and direction of magnetization. Examples and predictions are the magnetization reversal in low dimensional structures, stress demagnetization, temporary decay of magnetization, Barkhausen noise, and the behavior of materials with multiple phases. Finally, the fictitious statistical domains (or unit magnetization reversals) are related to the magnetic spin moments, which enables a quantum-mechanical interpretation of the model.
