Magnetic field relaxation in ferromagnetic Ising systems

Abstract

We analyze the thermal magnetization reversal processes in magnetic grains. Two experiments are carried out: swtiching time and switching field experiments. In both cases, we find that the simulated behavior is coherent with existing experimental data (the streched exponent of the switching time experiment increases with the temperature and is superior to unity; there exists a master curve for the switching field experiment). Moreover, we simulated magnetic grains in a region of parameters where no experimental data are available. We find that the relaxation time distribution $P(\lnτ)$ is gaussian, and we find the existence of a strong field regime.
