Abstract
Effect of inter-grain exchange interaction on the coercive forces was analyzed with a numerical simulation in magnetic materials with random magnetic anisotropy. The magnetization of an assembly of magnetically interacting grains with randomly oriented uniaxial anisotropy was calculated using the Landau-Lifshitz-Gilbert equation. We supposed a single spin model where the magnetizations in a grain were aligned in the same direction, for simplicity. Calculations were carried out for an N×N×N system, where the number of grains on a side, N ranged from 16 to 128. The relation between the coercive forces HC and the grain size D is represented by HC∝Dk. With the increase of N, k decreased gradually and tended to reach a saturated value around k = 4.5–5, which dose not correspond to the primitive theory of the random anisotropy model where k = 6. The deviation was discussed in terms of the inter-grain interaction, essentially proportional to the inverse of D.
