Frequency-dependent hysteresis for two-dimensional magnetic islands with uniaxial anisotropy is studied with a nearest-neighbor spin-one Ising model in the Bethe–Peierls approximation. A characteristic frequency for magnetization reversal is identified that depends on the island morphology only through the ratio θ/p of the coverage to the mean island perimeter roughness as measured by the density of unsaturated near-neighbor bonds. As a result, dissimilar hysteresis is predicted for large versus small and compact versus fractal islands.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
