A new approach to Preisach diagrams

Magnetization processes are complex. A simple Preisach diagram can describe only the irreversible component of magnetization. An extended Preisach model is introduced, including a reversible magnetization component given by a Langevin function which describes low-field experimental hysteresis loops very well. A family of anhysteretic curves are shown that are dependent on the amplitude and form of the ac used to generate them and the turning points on the
M-H
plane.
