(Received 2 March 2011; accepted 16 March 2011; published online 28 April 2011) A new critical reection on the anisotropic constraints of the ferromagnetic particles allow us to analytically describe the behavior of complex ferromagnetic systems. The anisotropic constraints of each individual ferromagnetic particle such as magneto-crystalline, shape, interface, defects, domain wall, or other induced inuences are described in a simplied manner. The rst approximation of anisotropy free energy density provides an analytical description of various magnetization processes even in the case of very complex anisotropic inuences. The hysteretic behavior described by this model, including both reversible and irreversible processes, is presented and discussed for the typical anisotropy cases observed in ferromagnetic materials: uniaxial, biaxial, cubic, and orthorhombic.

I. INTRODUCTION

The concept of a single-domain ferromagnetic particle has been known in magnetism for many years.13 The critical volume under which the magnetization processes of a ferromagnet are essentially linked to the rotation of the total magnetic moment vector of the particle can be calculated with Browns micromagnetic theory.4 This theory, published more than 50 years ago, gives an estimation of the nucleation eld when the coherent rotation is the rst magnetization mode which is activated at the highest value of the applied eld starting from positive saturation. It is remarkable to note that the coherent rotation magnetization model for the single-domain particle was given before Browns result was published in the famous paper of Stoner and Wohlfarth.5 They have used a stronger condition for the single-domain particle behavior that constrains the moments dynamics only by coherent rotations in any applied eld. The Stoner Wohlfarth model (SW) was intensively used in many theoretical approaches as the most simple and efcient hysteresis model. For uniaxial ferromagnetic single-domain particles the critical curve approach introduced by Slonczewski6 is widely used today, even if it gives the values of the magnetization in certain applied elds only as a solution of a mathematical equation that can only be numerically solved. The development of nanotechnologies in recent years has improved the experimental capacity to measure magnetization processes even at the level of one single-domain ferromagnetic particle and a number of discrepancies with the SW approach have been observed.79 Even if these discrepancies were expected, if one takes into account the strong simplications made in the SW model, new fundamental discussions concerning the physical

basis of the model are rarely published and no fundamental evolution can be noticed in this area. Ideally, what we need in many areas of ferromagnetism and in the modeling of devices using single-domain particles is a more accurate model that can be solved mathematically in a simpler way, if possible, with an analytical solution.10,11 These conditions are contradictory and thus, it is very difcult to simultaneously fulll them. In this paper we offer a possible solution to the previously mentioned problem which is atthe same time numerically efcient and relevant from the physical point of view as an improvement of the uniaxial case12,13 and that offers a straightforward generalization for other anisotropytypes.1416 To present the basis of this approach, we had to revisit the fundamental discussion on the symmetry in the expression of the free energy density for the single-domain ferromagnetic particle. The anisotropic terms in this expression can be developed in a series expansion in at least two ways; one that gives the SW solution and one that can provide the simpler solution we present in this paper. In the following sections, we present the founding principles of the method. Then we exemplify the model used for different anisotropic inuences: uniaxial, biaxial, cubic, and orthorhombic. Finally we present the conclusions of our study.

ticle. In the quasistatic approximation, one looks for the equilibrium states at a given applied eld. Besides the anisotropy free energy density term presented in the previous section one also has to consider the interaction between the total dipolar magnetic moment of the particle and the external eld which is given by the Zeeman energy density WZ l0 M H l0 MS H a1 b1 a2 b2 a3 b3 (5)

where A0 represents the anisotropy coefcients for different orders of approximations. As the anisotropy free energy density is invariant to the reversal of M Wa M Wa M; (3)

with bi cos wi and i 1 3 the direction cosines of the applied eld, H, and MS is the saturation magnetization. The versor of the applied eld can be written as ^ H=H b1 ; b2 ; b3 : h (6)

then each term in the series expansion as in Eq. (2), must include only even powers of any direction cosine. The free term is independent of particle orientation and is usually ignored, because normally we are only interested in the change in the free energy when the M vector changes its orientation. The classical series expansion of the anisotropy energy (2), even in the simplest case of the uniaxial systems, does not provide an analytical description of the magnetization processes. We analyze the anisotropy energy series expansion with the aim ofnding a simpler description for the characteristic unit of hysteresis called an hysteron.12,13 A ferromagnetic particle as a macro-spin can have multiple anisotropic constraints. The anisotropic constraints act symmetrically on different directions which are named anisotropic directions. First we observe that, in the series expansion we also have to consider the terms in the modulus of the direction cosines of the magnetic moment, jgi j, relative to each anisotropy direction. Consequently, the series expansion for the anisotropy free energy density is given by X (4) Wa Ai jgi j ;

With the anisotropy term given by (4) the orientation of the particles ^ , can be described analytically for total magnetic moment, m most anisotropy types.

with Ai the anisotropy coefcients and Na the number of anisotropy axes. The anisotropy directions can be related to any kind of anisotropic inuences such asmagneto-crystalline, shape, interface, irregularities (defects), etc. With these considerations, even a very complex case of a particle under the inuence of different types of anisotropic factors can be analytically described and the hysteretic behavior of the system can be, in this way, handled properly. This method offers a simple but still sufciently realistic way to describe the magnetization processes of ferromagnetic particles with various magneto-crystalline anisotropy types with a wide range of external physical anisotropic constrictions. In the next section, the general framework of the model is presented in detail.

Generally, a system with multiple equilibrium states may suffer transitions from one state to another with less energy. These critical (transition) states correspond to the states where the sign of near variation of total energy density dW h; / is undened. By considering the rst term in (4), the switching conditions can easily be identied as the conditions when the modulus terms in anisotropy free energy density (4) are zero (the nonderivability points) gi 0; (10)

III. MAGNETIZATIONS PROCESSES

Any magnetization process of a single-domain ferromagnetic particle is the result of the interaction between the applied magnetic eld and the magnetic moment of that par-

with i 1 Na . Because the particles moment on each hysteresis branch is switched, the number of irreversible transitions on each hysteresis branch can be up to the number of anisotropy axes, Na (or the number of the switching conditions). These general results allow us to calculate various magnetization processes like the major hysteresis loop (the most typical measurement used in ferromagnetism) in a number of particular cases. Because of the existence of the multiple equilibrium states of the system, when a magnetization process is analyzed, it is important to start from a well-dened

FIG. 6. (Color online) Hysteresis loops of a cubic system for different directions of applied eld in the xOz plane.

In the case of the crystallographic directions the hysteresis loops can be described analytically by adapting Table III(f) to determine the direction of applied eld. For the crystallographic directions represented in Fig. 5 on each hysteresis branch, the hysteresis loops of the cubic ferromagnetic particle presents one irreversible transition. In the xOz plane (b2 0, b1 sin w, b3 cosw) the hysteresis loops are given by h s1 sin w s3 cosw m p ; 2 h 2hs1 sin w s3 cosw 3 (17)

As shown in Fig. 7 the cubic ferromagnetic particle can have up to 3 irreversible transitions on each hysteresis branch. p p c 3 K c 3=Ps From practical considerations, Hc Ha can be used as a more realistic denition for the anisotropy eld of the cubic ferromagnetic particle.

with hs fs1 = sin w; s3 =coswg, the switching elds. As shown in Fig. 6, the hysteresis loops are always irreversible and on each hysteresis branch, for a given direction of applied eld, the particle can have one of two irreversible transitions. This 2D representation of the 3D cubic system can be used in some situations (as in a traditional way) as a 2D representation of biaxial anisotropy (see also, Fig. 3).

For the orthorhombic (triaxial) anisotropy,24 the usual 0 0 anisotropy free energy is given by Wa K 1 a 2 1 0 2 0 2 K2 a2 K3 a3 . From the present symmetry consideration x; ^ y; ^ zg the (4) the orthorhombic system has: Na 3, and f^ anisotropy axes (g1 a1 , g2 a2 , g3 a3 ).

The main characteristics of the orthorhombic hysteron are presented in Table IV. As in the cubic systems, the orthorhombic systems can have up to 3 irreversible transitions on each hysteresis branch. These results can be extrapolated to other sources of anisotropy, such as exchange bias systems which show asymmetries2527 or the magneto-elastic anisotropy5,2830 which represent an example of a system with mixed anisotropy and also with two nonorthogonal anisotropy axes.

VIII. CONCLUSIONS

FIG. 7. (Color online) Hysteresis loop of the cubic ferromagnetic particle for an arbitrary orientation of applied eld.

From the symmetry considerations, the magnetization processes of very complex ferromagnetic particles can be analytically described in a rst approximation. For a given direction of the applied eld, the numbers of irreversible transitions on the hysteresis branch can be up to the numbers of the anisotropy axis.
