Abstract

The magnetization reversal of a nanometer size ferromagnetic particle with surface anisotropy is investigated by micromagnetic computer simulation. Two kinds of calculations were performed: calculations with and without thermal fluctuation. In the case without thermal fluctuation a surface anisotropy of several ergs/cm² was found to increase the magnetization reversal field of the particle by a factor of ten as compared with the case without surface anisotropy. The introduction of surface anisotropy was also found to increase the reversal field, and hence, improve thermal stability.
