Abstract

Temperature m(T) and time m(t) dependences of the magnetic moment of GaMnSb thin films with MnSb clusters have been measured. The m(t) dependences are straightened in semilogarithmic coordinates m(lnt). The temperature dependences of magnetic viscosity S(T) corresponding to the slope of straight lines m(lnt) have been studied. It have been demonstrated that the behavior of dependences S(T) is governed by the lognormal distribution of the magnetic anisotropy energy of MnSb clusters. It have been found that the behavior of dependences m(T) measured after the films were cooled in zero magnetic field and in magnetic field H = 10 kOe is also governed by the lognormal distribution of the magnetic anisotropy energy of MnSb clusters.
