Abstract

In order to elucidate the nature of hysteresis characteristics in a magnetic Ising-type thin film with a certain thickness, such as types of frequency dispersion curves, decay of hysteresis loop area, corresponding coercive field and remanent magnetization values, etc., we investigate the hysteretic response of each layer within effective-field theory. Throughout the analysis, the best appropriate parameter values are chosen since they would allow us to observe the reversed magnetic hysteresis after a certain value of external field frequency. This eccentric phenomenon has prompted us to associate it to the domain nucleation and growth mechanism in the dynamic process. Exotic shapes of the response for different layer indices in two different regimes of modified surface exchange are particularly emphasized.
