Hysteresis in Fe particles with surface and magnetoelastic anisotropies: Experiment and micromagnetic modeling

We report on the correlation between the experimentally obtained saturation coercive force of highly elongated Fe nanoribbons and the results of micromagnetic simulations. To describe various realistic situations in our micromagnetic model of the ribbons we incorporated, in addition to a biaxial magnetocrystalline anisotropy, surface magnetocrysalline and magnetoelastic anisotropies and crystalline orientation distributions.
