Shape of Temperature Dependence of Spontaneous Magnetization of Ferromagnets: Quantitative Analysis

Abstract

Analysis of available experimental data shows that there exists a limited variety of shapes of temperature dependence of spontaneous magnetization. For most metallic ferromagnets the shape (as opposed to scale) of the M(s) versus T curve can be characterized by a single dimensionless parameter. A numerical description of the dependence M(s)(T) for a particular ferromagnetic material is thus reduced to evaluating three quantities: the saturation magnetization M(0) identical with M(s)(0), the Curie point T(C), and the shape parameter s. It is demonstrated that classical spin (S = infinity) dynamics fails to describe correctly either of the finite-temperature characteristics, T(C) or s.

Temperature-dependent exchange stiffness and domain wall width in Co

“…Finally, we recall that the classical Heisenberg model leads to a temperature-dependent magnetization m(T ) described by the Langevin function. This functional form typically is not in agreement with the experimentally measured one, particularly for HCP Co [44], which is known to be better described by the Brillouin function with S = 1/2 [43]. Thus the low and high temperature experimental and our asymptotes for m(T ) are significantly different.…”
