Monte carlo simulation of magnetization and coercivity of free magnetic clusters

Based on Monte Carlo method, the oscillatory behaviour of the average magnetic moment as a function of the cluster sizes and the temperature dependences of magnetic moment with different sizes have been studied. It is found that the oscillations superimposed on the decreasing moment are associated with not only the geometrical structure effects but also the thermal fluctuation. The hystereses and thermal coercivities for free clusters with zero and finite uniaxial anisotropies have been calculated. The simulated thermal dependence of the coercivity is consistent with the experimental result, but does not fit the T^α law in the whole temperature range. It is evident that an easy magnetization direction and an anisotropy resulting from the spin configurations exist in the free clusters with the pure exchange interaction, which is also proved by the natural angle and energy distribution of clusters. A systematic theoretical analysis is also made to establish the relationship between natural angle and coercivity.

惠斯通电桥实验的分析

惠斯通电桥的灵敏度是影响电阻测量精度的一个主要因素。本论文探究了惠斯通电桥的灵敏度与电源的电动势、桥臂的电阻、桥臂的比例之间的关系。理论分析显示了，电路的总电流保持恒定的情况下，桥臂的比例越大，惠斯通电桥的灵敏度越低，电阻测量的精度越低。另外，桥臂的比例保持不变且电路总电流不大的情况下，电路的总电流越大，惠斯通电桥的灵敏度越高，电阻测量的精度越高。实验测量得到的数据肯定了理论分析得到的结论。     

Monte Carlo Simulation of Magnetization Behaviour of Co Nanowires

Based on the Monte Carlo method, we simulate the magnetization curves with various magnetic field orientations for various single Co nanowires at room temperature. The simulated switching field as a function of angle between the field and the wire axis is consistent well with the experimental data. Correspondingly, the coercivity as a function of angle θ is presented, which together with the switching field plays an important role on explaining the magnetic reversal mechanism. It is found that the angular dependence of coercivity depends on the diameter of nanowires, and the coercivity and switching field versus θ deviate markedly from the prediction from the classical uniform rotation mode in the chain-of-sphere model. Furthermore, the magnetic reversal configurations display that magnetization reversal in the wires with small diameters is a nucleation-propagation process, and it is similar to the curling spread process in the larger wires.
