We analyze low field hysteresis close to the demagnetized state in disordered ferromagnets using the zero temperature random-field Ising model. We solve the demagnetization process exactly in one dimension and derive the Rayleigh law of hysteresis. The initial susceptibility a and the hysteretic coefficient b display a peak as a function of the disorder width. This behavior is confirmed by nume...

Effect of proton irradiation on poly~vinylidene fluoride-trifluoroethylene! 56/44 mol % copolymer has been studied using a Mach–Zehnder heterodyne interferometer, polarization hysteresis loop and dielectric constant measurements. The electrical-field-induced strain response of the copolymer after proton bombardment follows a quadratic electrostriction relationship. The electrostrictive coeffici...

A hysteresis loop is observed for the first time in the de Haas-van Alphen (dHvA) effect of beryllium at low temperatures and quantizing magnetic field applied parallel to the hexagonal axis of the single crystal. The irreversible behavior of the magnetization occurs at the paramagnetic part of the dHvA period in conditions of Condon domain formation arising by strong enough dHvA amplitude. The...

In this work, disordered-IrMn3/insulating-Y3Fe5O12 exchange-biased bilayers are studied. The behavior of the net magnetic moment ΔmAFM in the antiferromagnet is directly probed by anomalous and planar Hall effects, and anisotropic magnetoresistance. The ΔmAFM is proved to come from the interfacial uncompensated magnetic moment. We demonstrate that the exchange bias and rotational hysteresis los...

The distributed Maxwell-slip model provides a convenient way to describe the presliding friction behavior. The modified single-state Maxwell-slip (MMS) model is proposed with the main benefit to require two concentrated parameters only when describing the smooth hysteresis of the presliding friction. The model is rate-independent at both, saturated and unsaturated hysteresis, and is consistent ...

The paper proposes a two-stage model able to describe the dynamic behavior of a commercial magnetostrictive actuator in the frequency range of interest for fast actuation purposes. The first stage is a static model of hysteresis, while the second one is a linear dynamic model. The model structure allows to define well-assessed identification procedures for both stages. In particular, the identi...

This paper describes studies done at Gemtex Laboratory on the modeling and simulation of woven fabric. The main difficulty in this area is to take into account the hysteresis phenomena that occurs in fabric’s traction, shearing and bending behavior. Part I of this paper presents a friction based approach to obtain a time-free model for this nonlinear phenomena. Part II presents the application ...

Nanostructured Fe dots were prepared on antiferromagnetic FeF2 thin films and investigated by magneto-optical Kerr effect sMOKEd. We studied the influence of dot sizes on the magnetic hysteresis and compared the result with both continuous thin film bilayers and nanostructured Fe/FeF2 pillars. Hysteresis loops were measured at temperatures below and above s10 and 90 K, respectivelyd the Néel te...

A neural network (NN)-based model of scalar hysteresis characteristics has been developed for modeling the behavior of magnetic materials. The virgin curve and a set of the first-order reversal branches can be stored preliminary in a system of three NNs. Different properties of magnetic materials can be simulated by a simple if–then type knowledge-based algorithm. Hysteresis characteristics of ...
