چکیده

First-order reversal curve (FORC) diagrams are constructed from a class of partial magnetic hysteresis loops known as first-order reversal curves and are used to understand magnetization processes in fine magnetic particle systems. A wide-ranging literature that is pertinent to interpretation of FORC diagrams has been published in the geophysical and solid-state physics literature over the past 15 years and is summarized in this review. We discuss practicalities related to optimization of FORC measurements and important issues relating to the calculation, presentation, statistical significance, and interpretation of FORC diagrams. We also outline a framework for interpreting themagnetic behavior ofmagnetostatically noninteracting and interacting single domain, superparamagnetic, multidomain, single vortex, and pseudosingle domain particle systems. These types of magnetic behavior are illustrated mainly with geological examples relevant to paleomagnetism, rock magnetism, and environmental magnetism. These technical, experimental, and interpretational considerations are relevant to applications that range from improving particulatemedia for magnetic recording in materials science, to providing a foundation for understanding geomagnetic recording by rocks in geophysics, to interpreting depositional, microbiological, and environmental processes in sediments.

Magnetic Properties of Fe49Co33Ni18Nanowire ArraysStudied by First-Order Reversal Curve Diagrams

Fe49Co33Ni18 nanowire arrays (175 nm in diameter and lengths ranging from 5 to 32μm) were fabricated into nanopores of hard-anodized aluminum oxide templates using pulsed ac electrodeposition technique. Hysteresis loop measurements indicated that increasing the length decreases coercivity and squareness values (from 274 Oe and 0.58 to200 Oe and 0.105, respective...

First-order reversal curve diagrams and thermal relaxation effects in magnetic particles

We have recently developed a technique for characterizing the magnetic components within natural particle assemblages. This technique is based on the transformation of magnetization data from first-order reversal curves (FORCs) into contour plots of a 2-D distribution function (FORC diagrams). FORC diagrams are useful for obtaining information about switching fields and interactions in magnetic...

First order reversal curve studies of permanent magnets

First order reversal curve (FORC) diagrams are a useful tool to analyze the magnetization processes in magnetic materials. FORC diagrams are computed from measured first order reversal curves on sintered Nd 2 Fe 14 B magnets. It is shown that the FORC diagram simplifies if the first order reversal curves a desheared using the macroscopic demagnetizing field given by the geometry of the sample. ...

First-order reversal-curve diagrams and reversible magnetization

First-order reversal curve ~FORC! diagrams have recently been used for the characterization of magnetic systems in both geology and physics. However, the FORC distribution involves a mixed second derivative which reduces the reversible component of the magnetization to zero. As a result, the FORC distribution is not properly normalized. Furthermore, the calculation of the FORC distribution beco...

Investigation of the magnetic interactions in Co2FeAl alloy nanoparticles using FORC analysis

This paper demonstrates the results of the detailed studying of the magnetic behavior of Co2FeAl alloy nanoparticles synthesized through a co-precipitation method. First order reversal curves (FORCs) diagrams were used consequently. The obtained results showed that the prepared alloys consist of a mixture of the low-coercivity grains (Hc ~ 0), and interacting single-domain high-coercivity grain...
