Abstract
Here, we present an implementation of the moving Preisach model to describe the magnetic behaviour of Sm-Co films. We use two independent Preisach distributions to separate the magnetization into reversible and irreversible components. The numerical simulation works very well for a system where two magnetic phases are weakly or negligibility coupled. We tested our implementation on nanocrystalline Sm-Co films prepared by sputtering and having composition around Sm25Co75. We found that the Sm 25Co75 film has a soft and hard phase and quantified their contributions to the total magnetization. Using the moving Preisach model, we characterized the properties of the hard phase, which has a coercivity of 1.26 T and contribution of 74 to the total magnetization. The soft magnetic phase contributes 26 to the total magnetization and has a coercivity of 0.056 T.
