Nucleation of reversed domain and pinning effect on domain wall motion in nanocomposite magnets

Abstract: The magnetization behaviors show a strong pinning effect on domain wall motion in optimally melt-spun Pr8Fe87B5 ribbons at room temperature. According to analysis, the coercivity is determined by the nucleation field of reversed domain, and the pinning effect, which results from the weak exchange coupling at interface, makes domain nucleation processes independent and leads to non-uniform magnetization reversals. At a temperature of 60 K, owing to the weak exchange coupling between soft-hard grains, magnetizat… Show more

“…This means the assemblies will exhibit no net magnetic moments. Since that the surfaces of magnetic nanoparticles were bare and contacted closely, the magnetic moments were incapable of restoring to the disordered state thoroughly due to the magnetic dipolar interaction and the surface pinning effect 26 27 . These remnant magnetic moments caused emergence of so-called remanence.…”

“…31 So there exists the reversed domain, but the energy barrier is at hard grain interface hindering the domain wall motion. [32][33][34][35] In magnetization reversal, the nucleation of reversed domain is necessary, 32,[36][37][38] and in the magnetic relaxation a thermally activated nucleation is transferred into hard grain surface, which is due to that the energy barrier is reduced by the isotropic exchange coupling and overcome with the driving of thermal fluctuation, 20,38,39 subsequently leading to the depinning and free propagation of domain wall within the hard grain. Therefore, although the thermal activation involves magnetization reversal in soft grains, it originates from magnetization reversal in hard grains owing to the exchange coupling at hard grain interface.…”

“…As given in Fig. 3 (b), the magnetization increases slowly with magnetic field, which indicates that the pinning mechanism dominates in the magnetization reversal process [19]. The applied field dependence of coercivity obtained from minor hysteresis loops shows that the coercivity increases initially slowly with the field until a critical field where it starts to increase rather rapidly.…”
