Abstract

Micromagnetic simulation is utilized to investigate the mechanism responsible for the sharp decrease with increasing particle size in the switching field observed from experimental measurements of isolated BaFe/sub 12-x/(CoTi)/sub x/O/sub 19/ particles. Simulation results show that nucleation can occur at applied field values far below the intrinsic anisotropy field when the effect of nonuniform substitution of Co-Ti is considered.< <ETX xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">&gt;</ETX>
