Abstract

The magnetic behavior of hard-magnetic nanocomposites such as Pt-Fe thin films and Sm-Co-Cu-Ti cellular magnets is investigated. A quite general free-energy series expansion shows that the temperature dependence of the coercivity of hard-magnetic nanostructures is largely determined by the intrinsic temperature dependence of the micromagnetic parameters. By contrast, thermally activated jumps over micromagnetic energy barriers are small perturbations observed as sweep-rate dependence.
