Abstract
Magnetization reversal in GdCo5 single crystals was studied by magnetization measurements at various temperatures. The effective nucleation field H*n increases with decreasing temperature. A linear relationship is observed between H*n and the amount of magnetization reversal in a jump at all temperatures studied. The lifetime of the moving walls in the magnetization jump decreases as the temperature falls. The average velocity of the domain walls is estimated to be approximately 18 m/s at 4.2 K. The temperature dependence of H*n has been interpreted in terms of a thermally activated process.This publication has 11 references indexed in Scilit:
