Abstract
We used a Kerr microscope, image processing, and photo editing to clarify magnetization reversal and its propagation in a sintered Nd-Fe-B magnet. Magnetic domain change was observed when a dc field from +20 to 20 kOe was applied to a sintered Nd-Fe-B magnet. Simultaneous magnetization reversal in several grains along the easy axis direction and its propagation to neighboring grains occurred. This indicates that the nucleation field in a grain and magnetic interaction between grains are important controlling factors of the coercivity of sintered Nd-Fe-B magnets.
