  • Abstract
    A detailed micromagnetic study of the effects of nonuniform applied fields in elongated particles is given. As a representative case the magnetization reversal is studied in the presence of a recording head field. The investigation is restricted to an important subproblem: the single particle in an inhomogeneous applied field. This case is also interesting with regard to the development of ultrahigh-density recording systems. Reversible and irreversible magnetization processes are computed for the limit of small and large exchange coupling. Results are presented for both longitudinal and perpendicular media
