Abstract
The scalar Preisach model [1] is a mathematical representation of macroscopic hysteresis phenomena as a superposition of a continuum of “elementary” rectangular hysteresis cycles. The model incorporates the essential physical ingredients of anisotropy and interactions, both local and mean field, and can be generalized to include finite temperature relaxation effects. In recent years, the model has experienced a considerable revival of interest, particularly with regard to its potential to clarify the interpretation of Henkel plots [2,3], which are a valuable source of information on interparticle interaction effects. If the magnetizing remanence im(ha) of a system of single-domain particles is measured by applying and then removing positive fields ha starting from a demagnetized state, until the remanence is saturated at i∞, and then the demagnetizing remanence id(-ha) is measured by applying and removing negative fields -ha starting from the saturated remanence state i∞, until negative saturation -i∞ is reached, then, according to Wohlfarth [4], these remanences satisfy the linear relationship id(-ha) = i∞ - 2im(ha) if there are no interparticle interactions.
