Magnetic hysteresis in the Cu-Al-Mn intermetallic alloy: experiments and modelling

Abstract

Hysteresis is the history dependence of the properties of a material when driven by an applied external field.1 It is observed in many different systems in nonequilibrium conditions. In general it is a dynamical effect which must be treated within a time-dependent formalism. Here we will focus on a special class of systems that display, under certain conditions, time-independent hysteresis properties...
