  • Abstract
    We report a theoretical study of thermal hysteresis of thin Dy films. Large differences between the isofield magnetization curves during heating and cooling are found. The temperature width of the thermal hysteresis is tunable by the external field strength, ranging from 40 to 100 K, for external fields in the 50 Oe-1.5 kOe interval
