Abstract

The main features of stepwise magnetization of dispersed ferromagnets caused by magnetic interparticle interactions are studied using a two-particle model. The ranges of values of the magnetic anisotropy constants of particles and of the dipole-dipole interaction between them are determined over which a reproducible jumpwise change in the magnetization of the system occurs in an external positive magnetic field. The proposed model is shown to explain the main specific features of the fine structure of the ferromagnetic resonance spectra.
