Abstract

Size effects in two-phase Boolean magnets composed of an aligned hard phase and a soft phase with high magnetization are investigated. In `overcritical´ magnets, where the size of the soft regions is larger than the Blochwall width δ_h of the hard phase, the energy product is reduced compared to the corresponding `undercritical´ magnets with small soft regions, where theoretical energy products as high as 1 MJ/m³ have been predicted. Nevertheless, the theoretical energy product only gradually drops with increasing size of the soft regions, and it may still exceed the theoretical energy product 516 kJ/m³ of Nd₂Fe₁₄B
