Abstract
The nonlinear ac susceptibility and dynamic magnetic hysteresis (DMH) of a single domain ferromagnetic particle with biaxial anisotropy subjected to both external ac and dc fields of arbitrary strength and orientation are treated via Brown's continuous diffusions model [W. F. Brown, Jr., Phys. Rev. 130, 1677 (1963)] of magnetization orientations. The DMH loops and nonlinear ac susceptibility strongly depend on the dc and ac field strengths, the polar angle between the easy axis of the particle, the external field vectors, temperature, and damping. In contrast to uniaxial particles, the nonlinear ac stationary response and DMH strongly depend on the azimuthal direction of the ac field and the biaxiality parameter Δ.
