Abstract:
This paper presents a fundamental analysis of a single-domain ferromagnetic particles chain hysteresis in perpendicular geometry as a prototype for ultra-high density memories. Due to magnetostatic long range interactions the system has a complex hysteresis but stable features can be found. The loop has a number of deterministic Barkhausen jumps and consequently a number of stable plateaus that could be used in multistate memories. The fundamental elements that sustain this behavior are shown and discussed.

Magnetic Susceptibility and Permeability
When diamagnetic materials are placed under an external magnetic field, the moments opposite to the field are induced. Hence, the susceptibility for diamagnets has a minimal negative value of 10-5–10-6. Since...
