Applying the present theory to this specimen, we have a total domain-wall area in the demagnetised condition of 6 x 0-07 = 0-42cm, 2 and, assuming as before l-5erg/cm 2 for the wall energy, the total wall energy for the specimen is 0-63 erg. In one complete cycle of magnetisation to saturation, this energy would be released twice, and therefore the hysteresis loss due to the domain walls should be 1 -26erg. It therefore appears that l-26erg is the minimum hysteresis loss per cycle for saturation that could be achieved for this specimen, no matter how well purified and heat-treated it might be.The hysteresis loop actually observed by Williams and Shockley is shown in Fig. 6b, with a coercive force of about 0 012Oe (0-96A/m). From the area of the loop and the volume of the specimen, a simple calculation gives the observed hysteresis loss per cycle as 2 • 6erg, compared with 1 *26erg calculated for the domain-wall loss. These estimates of loss are, however, obviously approximate, since some of the available quantities used in the calculations are given to one significant figure only.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
