Notes:
Measurements of the major hysteresis loop and of the temperature dependence of the field cooled and zero field cooled moment in applied fields less than the coercive field have been performed on two ferromagnetic perovskites La0.95Mg0.05MnO3 and La0.5Sr0.5CoO3. The data have been analyzed within the framework of a generalized Preisach model which includes thermal fluctuations, critical effects, and a temperature dependent distribution of free energy barriers. The analysis shows that the response functions of the manganese perovskite are dominated by the growth of the anisotropy barriers, while in the cobalt perovskite, thermal fluctuations and barrier growth play a roughly equal role. © 2001 American Institute of Physics.
