An inclusive model of ferromagnetic hysteresis.

摘要

A new inclusive macroscopic model of ferromagnetic hysteresis is proposed. The model is developed from a Stoner-Wohlfarth approach by adding mean field or nearest neighbour dipole-dipole interactions. Pinning of domain rotation is also postulated, and a rotational pinning extension included. The model includes the principal features of the Jiles-Atherton model in the previous Atherton-Beattie extension of the Stoner-Wohlfarth model, but still omits the domain wall energy effects included in the Globus model. The new model describes both reversible and irreversible processes, and hysteresis caused by combinations of interaction, anisotropy, and pinning. Computational approaches to both two and three dimensional calculations are detailed, and examples given. Simulations of hard magnetic materials are done, including major loops to near saturation, minor loops, and demagnetizations. The complete 2 x 2 magnetization tensor response is shown, including fan diagram representations. The minor loop simulations involve complicated sets of field turning points typical of the Preisach model, and the minor loops are seen to exhibit incongruence and eventual closure. The demagnetization simulations are done for both rotating and oscillating applied field cycles. Both isotropic and anisotropic polycrystalline easy axis distributions are treated.
