Abstract :
The authors simulated magnetization reversal in high aspect ratio, rectangular permalloy particles in the thickness range 125 Å to 1500 Å. There is significant variation of behaviour over this range. Trends for coercivity, hysteresis loops, reversal mechanism, and remanent states, especially as they are influenced by the increased three-dimensionality of the particle, are presented. Special attention is given to the formation of a low moment state when an in-plane, transverse field is applied
