Abstract

The magnetic viscosity was investigated at temperatures between 100 and 293 K for the nanocomposite Sm2Fe18.25Zr0.25Cu0.5Ga2C2 ribbons prepared by melt-spinning and subsequent annealing. It was found that the maximum S and χirr, located near coercivity, increase with increasing temperature. The viscosity parameter Sv was found to be strongly dependent on the applied fields at lower fields than the coercivities. The relation between Sv and coercivity was analyzed. The coercivity mechanism is mainly controlled by domain-wall pinning. The activation volume associated with magnetization reversal, which can be calculated from Sv, is much smaller than the grain volume.
