Abstract:
Random anisotropy model (RAM) was investigated by means of numerical simulation. Magnetization of magnetically interacting grains with randomly oriented uniaxial anisotropy was calculated using the Landau-Lifshitz-Gilbert equation where the magnetization in a particular grain is assumed to align in the same direction (single spin model). Calculations were carried out for 10×10×10 three dimensional cells changing cell sizes from 5 to 25 nm. The relation between coercive forces and grain sizes was obtained to be HC∼D5.7 from the simulated magnetization curves. This result fits the primitive theory HC∼D6 and the experimental results.
