The spectrum of Barkhausen noise has been measured in iron and analysed using signal analysis techniques. The results suggest that the mean duration of the voltage pulses caused by the domain reversals is less than 5 x 10-5 s and that a domain reversal triggers other domain reversals with a time delay normally of 1 to 2 ms. Delays of up to 10ms do occur. The results agree with those obtained by Sawada. The technique allows detailed information of the dynamic nature of domain reversals to be obtained quickly and with little sample preparation.
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.
