Magnetic hysteresis curves for typical
permanent magnets

All of the magnets are not formed by a single pahse but multi-phases, which is mainly
due to the controlling of the grain size and/or enhancing the domain wall pinning.

Magnetoplumbite structure
The coercivity of the hexagonal ferrites is limitted by nucleation; once a domain wall exists in a
particle, it moves with ease through the particle under an applied field. However, wall motion
does not appear to propagate from grain to grain. Thus, the coercivity of hexagonal ferrites can
be described by the mechanism of single-domain particle magnetization with the magnetocrystalline
anisotropy.

Magnetization reversal in sintered 2-14-1 magnets
occurs by nucleation and growth of reversal domains.

Here, aK describes the micromagnetic effects of anisotropy, wall width, and inhomogeneity size;
aψ describes the effects of grain misallignment. These two factors differ depending on whether wall
motion is limited by pinning or nucleation. Experiments support nuclation form of this model.
